Robocop1051 Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Here’s the skinny on my latest side project (shut up @DNP and @Robert@FULL30!!) Some of you know I’m a police officer in Northern California. What you might not know, on January 10th Natalie was murdered in the same city I started my career in. I used to ride motors with her department, long before she was old enough to be a cop. Unfortunately our timelines never crossed paths, and I never had the pleasure to meet her in person. My wife wasn’t so fortunate. My wife (also a cop) was on duty in the same city during the shooting. The stress of not being able to be there for my wife and my friends was beyond describing. As fate would have it, I missed her service because I was scheduled for SHOT Show that same day. I was wrought with guilt for not being at the side of my friends during this loss. Last night I got the green light from the City of Davis Police Department to start my own fundraiser! No one hosts a better party than I do!! Here’s the start... Natalie’s badge number was 224!!! It’s only appropriate that I make the worlds baddest .224 Valkyrie in her honor! This theme build will be built 100% to represent her sacrifice and our loss. (take that @Matt.Cross!!) I will be donating the rifle to the Police Department to raffle/auction off and 100% of the proceeds will go to Natalie’s memorial fund. I will be bringing more info as parts start to happen.

That's terrific brother, I'm relieved.... I was worried that you were going to adopt the .224 Valkyrie round as a preliminary step to coming out of the closet. Seriously though brother, very sorry for the loss of your friend and fellow officer. I will make up for the vaping comment though, I will personally match the 1st $1k of bidding on the rifle, plus my personal donation to the cause.

RobPLSCA Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Rob, I just saw this thread. So sorry for your loss. I'll donate one of my brand new LaRue mbt2 triggers if you want it... if you got something cooler planned, I understand... Let me know - I'll kick down $100.
