Oct 2014

he received any beating from the police? People sometimes just assume that's the case. Why don't we let the news on this unfold? I guess people who haven't "walked the walk"of being in law enforcement expect those who have to be super human, all knowing, and omnipotent, all for around $40 k a year. Get real and pray for the family of the fallen officer. I will.
