There's a call that no one ever wants to hear. The code that should never be spoken. When men and women of law enforcement step out on that line, they want to go home at the end of their shift. In the back of the mind of every peace officer, their lives that constant fear. The words that they pray they'll never have to hear, Officer Down!
Today in Polk County Georgia a twenty-nine-year-old police detective was ambushed and killed my sister in law enforcement paid the ultimate price whether you like cops or not she was the mother of a three-year-old child and a wife a 29 year old woman should not end her life that soon just because some crazy nut doesn't want to go back to jail
