How sad, similar scenarios, with this latest one taking place as the ceremony for the fallen ones in Miami was taking place and airing on TV.

What a mess of a world it has evolved to.
If they would have killed these guys before they were harmed themselves, they would have been fired and prosecuted for excessive force.

It has been sad that these things have happened. We are only 25 days into the year and in the US we have lost 23 Law Enforcement Officers in the line of duty. What in the HELL is going on???

[RevSmoke]

Again we pray for the family and friends of the victims. We also pray for the family of the shooter.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

As for what is going on? How did we get here?

It seems that in our world and society that nobody is responsible for their own situation. So many expect everything to be given to them, they are dependent upon others and too lazy to take care of themselves. When something they do goes wrong, they point at others, they're the victims.

At least that's a starting point of the discussion of how we got here.

I agree 100% And I dont see it getting better anytime soon. All we can do is Pray and hope for the best.

It's sad to see so many loyal officers brought down in such a tragic way. My prayers go out to all who think they are above the law, their families, the victims themselves and the families of the victims of this sensless violence.

Thoughts and Prayers to all!

In a 24 hour period there where 11 officers shot! That is just freaking crazy!! Found a website last night called officer.com and it has news related to police in the US. If you are a officer it is a good site to bookmark and where I got the numbers above. http://officer.com/online/article.jsp?siteSection=1&id=56437

Two MORE?!? This is ridiculous! If you work in law enforcement, thank you and stay safe!
