You know, I’ve not been a very faithful blogger to date. The day job and all the other “stuff” going on seem to get in the way of regular posts. However, something bad happened in Washington state today that just makes my blood boil!

Four police officers were sitting in a coffee shop outside of Tacoma, WA prior to starting their work shift. Someone walked into the coffee shop and shot and killed all four officers.

I said to my wife, “Deb, that’s an attack against you and me and all other citizens who pay their taxes and hope and pray that their lives are quiet and productive.” Hell, I know that cops aren’t perfect. There are bad cops just like there are bad doctors, lawyers, and bricklayers. But, like most other professions, bad cops are a tiny minority. And the big thing is, cops are the ones who stand between us and the bad guys!

When I was a high school kid, I used to lift weights at the home of this older guy, Brad, an ex-Marine, who later became a cop in the small city where I went to high school. He was married and had a lovely wife and a small son. He was a GOOD guy! He’s the kind of guy you really want standing between you and your wife and your kids and the really BAD guys.

So…here’s my rant: find those cop-killers, hook ’em to the back of my travel trailer and let me drag ’em to the court house!
