Texas officer down.
Didn't want to spam CR's thread with another of these, so figured I'd start my own.
A Texas Officer died responding to a dv call. Considering some of the calls I've been on it's pretty scary. Any of you working in law enforcement or any dangerous job at all, be careful.

Sucks to be the nice guy, you a cop?
Re: Texas officer down.
Domestic violence calls have got to be one of the most dangerous situations for the police to deal with. My son-in-law, just promoted to detective in the Richmond VA PD, has regaled me with some of his dv warstories recently. I'd rather work the max unit than put up with that stuff.

Re: Texas officer down.
How does a person go from being a "cute little angel" of a baby boy to becoming a piece of dung who drinks his life away, torments his family, probably can't hold a full time job, gets thrown in jail for a DUI, and decides to take it out on a cop by killing him? Astounding.
My condolences go out to this man's family and coworkers.

Onasander...the general must neither be so undecided that he entirely distrusts himself, nor so obstinate as not to think that anyone can have a better idea...for such a man...is bound to make many costly mistakes

Simple rules for handling a domestic dispute:
1. Separate the couple out of eye contact and audible range.
2. Don't take sides.
3. Knives are in the kitchen.
4. Guns are in the bedroom

Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

Re: Texas officer down.
Looking at those cases in the article it seems a simple solution is at hand , ban trailer trash.
Re: Texas officer down.
On another note the funniest moments on the show "Cops" is when they are called in on a domestic dispute...and it turns out to be 2 rednecks in a trailer. Hilarious.
Re: Texas officer down.
I've always heard that DV calls are the #1 killers of cops. Shame, bloody shame.
Re: Texas officer down.
A tragedy.
Take care out there Zim.
