my condolences to the families of the slain and wounded officers. My father, grandfather, two GGrandfathers, three Uncles, two Cousins and several friends, including one of my best are, or were police officers. If you haven't grown up in a Cops family it is truly difficult to understand the true sacrifice that these men and women make daily on and off the job.
I remember the fear in my mothers eyes as she kissed my father goodbye when he left home to go help quell a race riot in the sixties. I remember the faces at the funeral of a slain officer that was friends with my father.. the children my own age now without a father... not knowing what to say because MY Dad was still alive.
I remember the mean comments to my Mom and the way the neighbors treated her, mostly behind her back. I remember the fights I had in school and in the neighborhood because, my father was a cop, especially in high school where some had been arrested by my Dad. There is a price that is paid by Police officers and their families that goes beyond just the danger of the job. Just look at the hateful comments we have seen here, on this very board by some. No one hates a bad Cop more than a Cop, but all the good ones are forgotten, along with their sacrifice as soon as one bad egg shows his face.
They are hero's, mostly unsung and forgotten... until you really need one. I watched my father disarm a fella that had just shot another man, and shot at everyone else on the fishing catwalks of Rickenbacker Causeway once.. I could hear my mother crying and praying the whole time it went down. Dad was unarmed. When the City of Miami Police finally arrived and came running down the embankment with drawn guns hollering "who has the gun who has the gun" a hysterical woman screamed "he does, HE does!" and pointed at my Dad.. I thought they were going to shoot HIM.. my Mother later slapped her for it, while my Grandmother tended the wounded man plugging the holes like we were in a wild west movie. Hero's they are, doing a job that costs them dearly. So when you see me get short with some of the hateful things that are said here perhaps you will understand.orangefinfan, opfinistic, Muck and 14 others like this. -

Pretty sad, and shocking, this happening right after the shooting of the cops in Oakland. WTF is wrong with people?

Raf.. some pretty evil things were said about "all" Police officers in the thread where the Dallas cop prevented the man from going to see his dying family member.. and that isn't the only place that has happened here. I think that is what was meant, things like that, not "this" thread specifically.

So next time others make the generalization that officers have majority negative actions, I think most should remember this action and others like it where officers were responding to an already violent situation, to aid someone they do not know and paying the ultimate price in the process. My argument is not just merely cops get killed. It is the action of cops getting killed, while performing their duties. I do not think that is at all dis joined from the generalizations.
edit: In looking at my second reply to you I can see where I did say what you are saying. Not what I intended my mistake.rafael likes this. -

So senseless, may they rest in peace.
And good stuff Marty. -
Don't get me wrong I like rap, and I appreciate it when its honest, and mostly when its written more for battle rap. I do not like it when its over blown and meant to just sell records. I am not referring to the lyrics as more as how people seem to quote them without fully understanding what they meant when they were first released on the radio and how people seem to want to live the lyrics without putting it into perspective. -
If you're scared that Obama is going to take away your guns, the next logical thing to do is shoot 5 police officers. Show Obama his fears are misguided.
I know the guy had to be crazy. Just a terrible situation all over. Too bad he didn't shoot himself.opfinistic likes this.
