Thoughts and prayers to those who have been lost and their families and friends. I had the opportunity to visit the National LEO Memorial in Washington, DC a few years ago, and I highly recommend a visit there to anyone who hasn't seen it. It's a great tribute to those who gave their lives in law-enforcement service to this country, and a constant reminder for us all.

I happened to see the article you posted before it was deleted. I'm glad you posted it here, also. Sad to see that it was deleted for such a trivial issue (the word asshole), when the post could have easily been modified, or just left alone altogether.
Be safe out there all, and remember those who haven't been as fortunate as we have.
