Praying for a full recovery. May God watch over the Officer , Family, and loved ones. This is sad they are here to protect all of us and people hurt the officers there is no respect or concern for others anymore.

When something like this happens, it is a reminder to keep heads on a swivel no matter where you are. There is no such thing as a safe space for Police officers. Prayers to the family of this officer and his department.
