It would certainly appear that war has been declared on Law Officers across this country. This was a rural department just like many around this area. The impact of losing two deputies and two seriously wounded cant be ignored. The days of the nice police are dwindling away.Very sad.

I wonder why this took place. I fear for the same thing to happen on our streets too.
