Sorry to hear of the loss of a good cop.Even though I did not know this man it is still a loss felt by any who wear a badge.I can relate to this as I also wear a badge for Birmingham Al. police dept.I have been to many friends and co-workers funerals and I can say that it is never easy to bury a fellow cop.I have spoke ,in detail, about cops in other threads on this forum and I will sum all this up by saying that most cops start out as decent people.The system usually changes them.By the system I mean low pay,long hours of shift work,death and danger on a daily basis,and criminals with more rights than honest hard working people.I hate to see any cop abuse his power but usually behind all the ego is a good person at heart.Cops are a necessary part of life and they stick together like glue so any loss of one is a loss for all.I think this is a tradegy for all involved especially the fallen officers family and my as well as thousands other brother officers thoughts are with his family.
