ReplyDeleteIt the Maryland Courts would have done their job this officer might be alive today. Maryland the liberal state is soft on criminals. This guy had two warrants for his arrest and and he was still on the streets.

This kid was a great cop. He had no fear and did what he loved to do. I met him one night when i was traveling a bit over the speed limit in Bridgeville. I thought due to his no nonsense attitude I was surely going to get a ticket. After a brief conversation he stated he was giving me a warning. He told me of the major drug arrest he had made on Rt. 13.
ReplyDeleteI still can hear him saying "I am living a dream". This is what I wanted to do all my life. He praised the Troopers that backed him up at night and had nothing but good to say about his profession. This motivated hard charger was a credit to his creed.
If there were more Chad Spicers in the world we would not need police.
It is sad that Delaware did away with hanging. I would be happy to pull the lever on these thugs that have no regaurd for human life. No respect for the laws of the land.
Rest in peace brother. May God grant your family peace in such troubling times.
I will pray for the swift aprehention of the murderous coward Reeves.
To anon 11:33 it's not just the maryland court system. It's all over the country. These people need to be either killed or never see the light of day again. This country as a whole continues to baby these people and make excuses to let them go. It makes me sick. Rest in piece chad and thank you for your service. I truly hope justice is served on the people who did this to you.
