loss of a cleveland officer
Early this morning(Thurs) when i was on my way home from work i was almost ran off the road by a police office speeding down the road. He was driving so fast that i did not hear his siren till he was on top of my car. At that time i was mad that he was going so fast. That was till i got to west blvd and lorain when i saw 2 more officers speeding east on lorain. At that time i knew that something was wrong. When i got up today i turned on the news as i always do, but this time it was different. There was an office killed in the line of duty. This one hit home because he worked in my district and the shooting was just a few streets away from me. I feel a sense of loss for the neighborhood and for his family. He left behind a wife and a 10 month old son. After i heard the news i had to repent for how i acted this morning with the officer speeding. Some things look one way but can mean another. Alot of times i think that officers go thru lights just to go thur them yet there are times when it is a matter of life and death.
In this shooting there is an issue that needs to be addressed and that is the fact that there are some areas that are weak spots in the vests. The bullett went thru the armpit and into the heart. something needs to be created that protects the sides along with the front and back
