Once again, a brutal reminder of the realities of Law Enforcement. Not yet one month into the new year, and already six police officers have lost their lives in the line of duty. Two of those officers are from the region.
My best wishes go to the family of Officer Matlosz, and to the Law Enforcement Community at large.
A sad story and a tragic loss of a hero, indeed.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, here's an uplifting story with a great ending:

Looks like Tampa got a little safer.
I publish the above comment from Jason Q. Policehater with pause. I disagree completely with you, Mr Policehater. There is nothing uplifting here, and there is no great ending. I wish you'd explain your opinion. Actually, I probably don't. In the interest of free speech, I allowed this comment. It took just about all I had in me not to censor this comment.
ReplyDeleteHi, fellow criminal hater. You may not want to click the following link, which insists that Officer Matlosz was a "racist" and a "terrorist". Actually, this site claims that the aforementioned characterizations apply to all slain white cops, and that every black killer thereof is a "hero".

Jason Q. Policehater's real name is Jason Q. Criminal.
ReplyDeleteYup, because I speak out against police abuse and see the encroaching police state as a very serious civil rights issue, I must be a criminal. That's the *only* possibility, right?
