[QUOTE="badthirtyone, post: 2255188, member: 9573"] So sorry to hear this news today, brother. Prayers for the immediate family, and our overall family in blue. On a side note, in reference to what some have asked here regarding the ever dwindling numbers, I can say this. I spent the day out at our academy teaching (not my regular assignment, but get to go out from time to time) and in a class of recruits that already started with less than we had hoped for (down multiple candidates before the academy even started), I found out today that we have already lost 4 of the recruits that started only a month and a half ago due to their disgust and discouragement of what a life in law enforcement will look like nowadays. Almost impossible to fill seats these days for a future in uniform. I drive down one of our main drags in Denver (Colfax Ave) and regularly see billboards offering up to a $15,000 signing bonus for lateral recruits from our metro area that are willing to move to the northwestern states. "Oddly" enough, these billboards are being posted by departments such as the Spokane PD and others that simply cannot find ANYONE willing to be the police in their local communities. Sorry to derail the thread. Praying for peace for you, and all others, bro. [/QUOTE]
