Unhappy Officer Shot
Too often.....................

As a retired MIchigan State Trooper, I have been through this too many times. We recently lost one of our troopers who was an Emergency Services Team (SWAT) member. Trooper Marshall was shot 4 times in the side and back with a .223 carbine as the entry team went into a house to arrest an armed subject who had solicited sex from a minor female and had been shooting at people. Unfortunately, Kevin was dead when they pulled him from the house. He left a wife and two children....and many friends.

Your officer is in my prayers. Please let him know he has friends he has never met.

This may help those of you who are not in law enforcement to understand why police officers react so strongly when comments like the "spineless" thread ran a few months ago.
