Very sad news, every one has a right to come home safely after a day at work no matter what their occupation. We want police officers to also feel safe, we don't want to become another America where officers need one hand on the holster when approaching a car that would be scarey for us motorists.

I went to school with the Officer, and his older brother is a good friend of mine [bigsad]. His father was also a police officer. Very tragic.

This forum really is turning to **** if we allow this type of rubbish to be posted here. :2up:

report the post if you find something offensive

getting sick of saying it...

that ensures moderators are made aware of whats going on.

as an aside i was going to make time to split this thread later today if i can get a chance to get near a computer.

Now that this thread is back on track, can we all spare a moment to remember Constable Damion Leeding, as well.
Damion was also murdered, six years previous to the day that Brett was, responding to a 000 call on the Gold Coast.
