Sad day for all LEO's and their families. I salute all my brothers and sisters who have answered the call to Protect and Serve.

Keep safe and continue to fight the good fight; Be careful out there...NO traffic stop is routine!

Thoughts and prayers with all who serve and all who support them on this sorrowful day.

After 29 year on the job, Thse stories don't get any easier to hear. My prayers for the families and the department they served so gallantly.

I read this too last night as well, so sad and senseless.  Just looking at the deceased shooter's mugshot incenses me...
