[Mr. Chevy]

My condolences and prayers go out to the families of the slain and injured victims from yesterdays horrific incident. Law Enforcement Officers as a whole have been scrutinized and are under the microscope in the wake of all these police involved shootings that our wonderful news media likes to sensationalize about. I have even overheard individuals say publicly on the news that they "hate" the police.

The public needs to remember who is on the front lines when the $hit hits the fan domestically. It is our local law enforcement officers, the road patrol officers, who are the first responders and get directly involved in the thick of total chaos. I don't know how many times I have heard, "I could never do that job". And of course like anything else, there are "bad apples" in the bunch but the good ones totally outweigh the bad ones!! I don't care if you work in Mayberry RFD with a department of 2 officers or a large agency like New York City PD with over 20,000 officers.

Sadly many local law enforcement agencies are under budgeted, under staffed and ill equipped. Unfortunately some in the public forget or don't know this and take our local officers for granted. The police always become the public's best friend when needed.

God Bless all of the officers involved in yesterdays incident and thank God none were killed in the line of duty. They are the REAL HEROES. Kudos to them for spotting and apprehending these dangerous suspects so quickly. The police chief of San Bernardino stated the suspects had around 1,400 rounds of .223 ammunition and over 200 rounds of 9mm. These two suspects were planning serious business and carnage with that kind of fire power.

God Bless all of our Law Enforcement Officers across this great nation and may God Bless this nation so these types of attacks STOP. The police need the public's full support.

To make some light, here is a quote from the Andy Griffith Show as said best by Barney Fife...

"Boy its the same the world over. Police Departments are lowest budgeted, underdog, public servants of 'em all. But its Thank You Johnny Shafto when the guns begin to shoot!".
