    Some of these police deserve everything that come at them. They sit around and decide to do people as they feel cause they know their wrongs are automatically right. Mashing up the system. That’s why you have to get shot up

      The sad thing is the police after reading this very dumb comment have to be professional when you go to make a report. Remember you have family members that one day may require the services of the very police.

    Sounds like Landing Strip. Hmmmm
    That’s why I tell my husband nothing good happens after 9pm. I rather stay home and read a book or watch tv and have some wine or champagne. I feel safer there

    Whoever did it better turn themselves in fast, because ABPF don’t make jokes when you touch their colleague.

    Responding to what call? Responding to a call on his own? Was he planning on being a hero for someone? Miss me with this b.s cause I never see no police respond to any call on their own especially where scores of people are.
