RIP, Officer Maddox. :( My heart goes out to his family.

A traffic ticket warrant was so important, they tried to go to his house to take him in?

I have to wonder about the S.O.P. on that call.

Usually they just wait until they catch you driving, pull you over and take you in.


On the flip side, what a nutcase to open fire on officers over a lousy traffic ticket. Not worth it at all.

Did I miss something or does it seem like there is some sort of nationally coordinated violent effort against law enforcement this week? Lots of officers going down everywhere. Sad. [emoji20]
