These are the causes of death for our fallen officers in the year of 2007. For those of you who take firearms, officer safety and vehicular operations lightly, maybe you should reconsider.
This world is becoming more and more barbaric and our only line of defense is our weapons, our safety, and each other. Learn how to shoot - learn how to shoot the suspect - before they shoot you.
We cannot protect ourselves from everything, but you work how you train/practice. You dont practice, you wont know what to do in emergency situations.
TAKE NOTHING ROUTINE. I fall into that category too sometimes, and then I read something like this and it wakes me up. I dont want to loose another partner, another friend, another anyone.
Be careful out there
