This incident happened a couple of blocks from my niece's house. She sent me an awesome text today to tell me how much she appreciated my years of service on the force here, where she grew up. She and her dad (my ex-wife's brother) have had a lot of problems through the years and she still considers me part of her family and a second dad to her. I sure do love that young lady! This whole situation sucks for law enforcement, and the news media fuels this fire more every day! They have the blood of every officer killed over this 'black lives matter' crap on their hands! I am sick to death of the bias shown toward law enforcement by the media in this country. I hate to say this, but I think this is going to get a lot worse for LEO's before it's all over! To all of my brothers out there who are still actively fighting the good fight, stay safe and do whatever is necessary to return to your families at the end of your shift!
