Officer Down in Arizona

[JRod]

Just getting the earliest reports that an officer from Chandler (our neighboring city) has been shot & killed tonight. Two additional officers were shot and I don't have information on their status.... Please keep Chandler PD and this officers family in your prayers.

Dammit, I don't even know what to say. I really wonder if this stupid job is worth it some days.

Apparently undercover cops. I hope its not some 1070 related payback thing...

I wonder too, especially when a solid 30+ percent of the population has nothing but contempt for cops.

Just found this report - Waiting for the 9pm news for more info..... feel guilty praying it's not someone I know... but at this point, the only info I have is from the news.

Have you noticed how the news has not mentioned the suspects in any way?

When I watched the news last night they said there were two suspects dead two injured and two in custody.

I think its leo everywhere,us in corrections get viewed pretty bad as well.And they cut our pay,furlough days,and want us to cut more pay.I'm going on 17 years now and think about doing 20 and then doing something else.I agree that we need to do something and for me myself I just get guns and ammo and extra food etc..I think that it is a cheap insurance policy for me.I think that we are in for some drastic changes and all the damn liberals in ca. are going to get us all killed.I think we need to start changing some things before its to late(if it's not already).Now a days your better to stay armed everywhere you go not only for yourself but also for what all these clowns are doing around you...

Well, it's that time...... time to polish the boots, shine the badge and make sure the Class A dress uniform is ready and bacon-scooter is shiny and ready to escort Detective Ledesma to his final resting place.

RIP Brother.
