WHY? are we not allowed to voice our opinions?
great police work. to protect and serve at it’s best. silent voice, that was a ridiculous comment and you should just be SILENT.
The way I see it they’re trying to take the spotlight off the officer who shot the little doxen.
I agree; thank you officer and GOD BLESS!
Okay. The title of this story should not be about the DUI…it should be officer saves person… All I can say is that we have an angel among the police force and he should be recognized for saving this young man. Great job to the officer!
That is very observative for an officer to find a wreck like that. I am glad there are such people on the force. Great job.
