The officer that was shot has been released from the hospital! I really appreciate all of the prayers and comments.
Well it’s time to rant about the soon to be ex again!
I’m sure all divorced men and women have so much to complain, rant or just plain ol bitch about. I am no different, so just sit back and let me get it out.
In my profession being truthful is absolutely the most important quality you can have. As a police officer, your word is the gospel and always expected to be the truth. Lets face it, if you’re a liar and you get caught lying your credibility is done, not to mention your career. Justifiably so.
When I went to the temporary needs hearing, oh wait I mean Contempt of Court last month I knew that my testimony had to be truthful. I was prepared to be honest. I showed up in my class “A” uniform, because quite frankly I didn’t have the money to buy a suit or for that matter dress pants, shirt and shoes. I got off the elevator with my partner that works with me and there sits the wife, her daughter and the wife’s best friend. The first thing I heard was “Yeah, I think he should be held in contempt for wearing his uniform to court, guess he thinks he’s gonna get special treatment.” At that point, I wanted to get up, walk over to her and just rip her up, but I chose to be the true professional I am and just be quiet. Of course they sat at the other end of the hallway and ran their mouths just loud enough so I could hear it.
When it came time to go in, we both took an oath to tell the truth, or at least I did. I have never heard so many lies in 45 minutes in my life. I could only sit there and listen to this B.S. The sad part about it is, the Magistrate knew she wasn’t being truthful, but his hands were tied and he had no choice but to perform the task at hand- a brutal attack on my financial rectum.
I just don’t understand how it’s fair that she got all the money, telling all those lies about how she can’t work etc… as mentioned before, the bitch is working 3 or 4 days a week and she makes excellent money! I went in, told the truth about it all and got the most massive anal assault of my life, didn’t get a phone call afterwards and no flowers the next day!
Money is the root of all evil, it’s really sad that our system could care less about honesty. It’s really who’s the best at acting. I can tell you, I haven’t seen an act so worthy of a Grammy in a long time!
I know Karma’s a bitch, boy I can’t wait to see it unfold!!!
Well thanks for letting me rant. I’m out and we’ll talk later!

And he will live to fight another day...
I really appreciate all of you stopping by to check out my blog! I am having a great time visiting new blogs and will be adding to my link list soon.
Now, on a very serious note.
Just a few days ago while on patrol, the alert tone sounded and the dispatcher had a different sound to her voice. We all knew that it wasn’t good. The numbers may be different from city to city but they all mean the same thing, OFFICER DOWN! I, along with the rest of the watches working, began a somber period of waiting.
The department I work for has 3,000 certified Police Officers, of course they don’t all work at the same time so it’s obvious that we all don’t know each other. The fact is, who cares, it’s a brother or sister officer and something is wrong.
A couple of officers on the Southside of town were working at a large shopping mall to make some extra money to take care of the extra bills that they took on since Christmas. A simple shoplifting call, should be pretty simple right? They were probably thinking, “We can knock it out, end our shift, maybe get home in time to hug and kiss our wife and if were lucky, see the kids before they go to bed.”
The officers arrive on scene, gather their information. In a hurry to get home, they decide they will split the paperwork and each do an arrest docket. The suspects are 18 and 19 years old. They have no real prior criminal history, so the tension is more lax than normal; that is until the 19 year old breaks from the young officer’s grasp and starts running. The diligent officer won’t let this suspect get away, so of course he gives chase never believing for a second that his life is fixing to change forever. The suspect is running at a pace that is untouchable for most, but not this officer, he’s one of the elite- a Swat Team Member. The suspect runs about a quarter of a mile with the officer right behind him yelling for him to stop. The suspect ignores his commands, that is until he falls down in a dried up retention pond. The officer sees an opportunity to end the chase so he tackles the suspect and a fight ensues that has him now on his back fighting for his life. The officer suddenly finds himself in a life or death battle because now the suspect has taken it to a whole new level. The suspect is pointing a 45. caliber handgun at the officer and shoots without hesitation point blank range 3 shots to the chest! The officer still with the presence of mind is able to draw his gun and returns fire striking the suspect several times in the chest, but that’s not stopping the threat. The suspect wildly continues firing the gun in an attempt to finish the job. Multiple rounds strike the officer in the leg, shoulder and chest. One round finds its mark tearing through his jaw. He now knows he may not make it home, but fight or flight kicks in. In our world flight is never an option in a situation like this. He then fires 7 rounds to the suspects head. The battle has ended.
A passerby calls 911 and directs the units running lights and siren to the downed officers location as well as rescue. The officer is life flighted to a trauma one hospital where he is rushed into surgery with 6 bullets holes that have riddled his body. He is alert and for now alive.
The surgery was a success and the officer, by Gods Grace will survive, but will need major reconstructive surgery on his face. The one thing that saved this young mans life was his vest that stopped 3, 45. caliber rounds and his will to live to fight another day. Now, the wife and child that he wanted to just go home to and love, sit in the intensive care unit watching dad with tubes down his throat only blinking to tell his family that he knows they are there and that he loves them.
We are never promised tomorrow, so please tell your family that you love them, kiss your wife or husband and children. Always wear your vest it will save your life as it did his! Please take a minute today to pray for our brother officer and his family. Be Safe!!!
