As a family member of an officer shot/critically wounded in the line of duty, these always get me in the heart. Please pass along my condolences to your friend in the loss of his colleague.

Glad he is safe. A very dangerous job and I thank him for his service.

My son is a police officer and was involved in a high speed chase that made the news last night. Luckily he only hurt his hand. The suspect was drinking and driving, had automatic weapons (yes plural) in the car and he was shooting at my son's police car and his backup. My son was a sergeant police officer in New Mexico and was struck in the lower part of his vest 3 years ago and they killed the suspect (drug bust) (my icon are his medals for that shooting). Then my son moves back home to Michigan this past Jan 2018. Told him he must have the soul of a cat and now has 7 lives but don't push it. ON CAMERA: Allen Park man rams police car during chase

Glad your friends husband is safe. I am in Leavenworth County. Wyandotte County has had too many officers killed in the last couple of years. It is horrible.

RIP Officer Rohrer

Theresa King, 44, had been listed in critical condition at the same hospital for much of Friday after she was shot. But shortly after midnight, she also died from her injuries, the Kansas City, Kan., Police Department announced overnight. King had 13 years of service.

My friend (best friend’s hubby) was one of the first on the scene. He is an absolute wreck. I wish there were something I could do to help him, but I know I can’t do anything except be there for him. Please take a moment for everyone affected by this.

I lived in KCK for years. I always thought and was told there was a tunnel that connected the WYCO jail and the Courthouse to transport prisoners for court appearances. Am I wrong?

 

[alwayslooking]

OMG, this makes me so angry! My heart breaks for the deputies families. I also have a disabled husband from an in the line of duty shooting. It really makes you bitter with the court system...every time an officer is shot it takes me back to how I felt that night.
