Special Thursday Missives

• Continue to be amazed at peoples disrespect for law enforcement personnel- honestly. They're threatened with death daily, abused verbally and misunderstood at every turn it seems, yet society would dissolve immediately in their absence. Blaming an individual officer for any wrongs done in the past or assuming the individual is bad because their branch of enforcement has a bad reputation is like blaming a soldier for a bad war.


• If you could see my driving record you would understand how significant that sentiment is! : ) Hey, they have a job to do and so do I- can't help it if that puts us at odds sometimes.


• They'll still get my respect and their tab picked up in a restaurant every time.

• Texas for the second year in a row had the highest number of LOD fatalites in the nation in 2007.
• There has been over 18000 LE officers die in LOD in US history.
• Decatur Texas has had one officer murdered on duty.
• Wise county Sheriffs Office two.
