Another violent law enforcement death

Chief Gregory

I pray this is the last violent law enforcement death I post this year!  I have made this statement in the past.  “Twenty years ago people would fight with the police to get away.  Now, they fight with the police to kill us.”  This is an example of such an incident.  After being shot Corporal Ballard ran from the suspect to get cover.  The suspect chased him and shot him numerous times instead of continuing to run away.  This man was only 32 years old and had a wife and young daughter.  Makes me want to cry…. My condolences and … Continue reading Another violent law enforcement death
