OT: Local cop murdered, Our little community is in shock Options

[Mark Henry]

A local cop in our county was murdered over the weekend responding to a 911 B&E call. He leaves behind a wife and 2 children. Throat slit but he did manage to cap the guy in the leg before he went down. They caught the 18yr old punk who did this, apparently he was pissed off at cops and life in general. We don't know all the details yet.

This is the first murder in our county in 75yrs, most of us move out here thinking this shit couldn't happen here.

If you ever get a chance to check out the employee parking structure at LA County Jail, you would really enjoy the sights; many deputies are really into cars/trucks and the variety and number of modified new vehicles is amazing! There are deputies working there that pull down over $100,000 per year; their department has to limit the amount of overtime they can work or their salaries would really skyrocket! Last I heard, most of them hate to leave the Jail to work patrol because of the lack of overtime available to street deputies.
