Mass shooting at Century 16 in Aurora

Cochese - a huge THANK YOU!

What you experienced as an LEO is something that I wish fewer individuals would have to experience. You and all of the other officers who responded are HEROES for how quickly you responded, taking care of the wounded, getting wounded to the hospital, and getting control of this murderous POS - and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. Please pass on to the other members of your team just how much we appreciate your efforts and are glad you are there.

I'd like to add my thanks here, too. Well done, sir, to you and all your compatriots.

That's only some of the gear.

I watched the initial briefing from Chief Oates the next day and he did say "tactical vest...tactical leggings" which I originally took to mean armored. But really tactical doesn't have much (if anything) to do with armor.

That makes me feel better that an individual with a CCW would have made a difference in this situation. All the more reason I'm going to get my CCW permit just as soon as the funds become available.

I was a responding officer on the scene. I was there for about five hours. It was the worst thing I've ever seen at work, to include Hurricane Katrina when I was a Texas LEO.

I also worked OT in Aurora for the POTUS visit and vigil at Headquarters.

My thoughts and prayers are in heavy rotation for the victims.

Well done. You and your fellow officers established yourselves as the finest in Law Enforcement this past week. I am truly amazed at just how well this situation was handled by you guys.

It was my honor to do what I could.
