Cop buddy of Bill's got shot today...

[Cleveland Metal]

This officer came up through the academy and worked with Bill. Bill was pretty freaked today about it all.

Pretty screwed up thing to happen to him. This guy worked the worst district with Bill for years and makes it to the safest place here (airport duty) and gets shot.

Made national news...

Ah shit, I saw this on CNN this morning. Hey Bill, sorry to hear this, I hope your friend makes it through ok man.

[Soloist1]

As soon as I saw that I was wondering if Bill knows him. Best wishes to him and his family.

[guitarsjb]

Sorry Bill, hope everything comes out OK. Thinking of you and your friend.

[StukaJU87]

Bill, I am sorry to hear this and I hope he will be fine.

Bro, why wasn't he wearing his vest?

[VitaminG]

glad to hear he's stable. hopefully he won't suffer any lasting damage from the incident.

[Cleveland Metal]

I don't think many coppers wear the vest on airport duty it seems. Although they should always, I'm sure it gets cumbersome and hot inside there. Guess it would have saved this.

Bill figures it will be his retirement. This guy won't be going back I bet.

Same shit as Bill, made it to the safest duty area, and gets fucked...

[sully]

that's terrible news, i hope he recovers quickly.

Hey Bill.....
I am RELLY glad that yer bud is ok physically...(I won't say emotionally cuz I'm not where he's at if ya know what I mean..being shot at by someone ....you know... just KNOW!! that the fukker isn't shooting to miss!!!)
God bless him man...and his family....
Just thank whoever it is that you thank Bill that he is ok.....and can still get home (when recovered) at the end of the day.
You know what kind of job it is yer signing on for when you get into it....you might get shot at ...you might get beat down.... you might get blown the fukk up...all to keep people you don't even know safe from the scum that just dont care ...or gets a kick out that crap....

Anyways...I'm glad and thankful that he's alright....maybe a little shook up...but at least gonn be ok....enough to take care and be around his family
He'll heal and be well again....
but the scum will always be out there...it tires me out.......here I go rambling again..I need to put the scotch up and go to bed
God bless ya Bill...and yer bud....thanks fer wht ya did and do

Pretty sure I'm remembering correctly that Bill's incident that forced him from being able to work was at the airport as well. Is that right? I'm sure it has to hit home more since it may be the same place. That is if I'm remembering correctly. Glad to hear the officer is stable though. I worked with a lot of cops in NYS when I was with the department of criminal justice. None of them often get the respect they deserve from a high percentage of the general public.

Wow, I'm really sorry to hear about this. But it's good to hear that it's not worse than it was.

[Cleveland Metal]

Yeah, Bill got hurt at the airport as well...

I think it is so much more calm there compared to the districts, the cops are in a more relaxed state, and less on edge and wary... Prolly why he didn't have his jacket on.

He's in critcal but stable condiion right now. Hope he stays that way and just improves.

Bill has been busy with finding a home for the dog etc. guy took him today and is happy as hell with him.

[lerxstcat]

Man, when it rains it pours doesn't it? Give Bill my best and Steve Walker is in my thoughts and prayers too. Last thing Bill needed on top of the dog situation, I hope he's okay...

[RacerX]

Yeah I immediately thought of Bill when I heard this morning. Props to the officer, shot 2x in the chest and he's recovering, that's one tough cop!

[Superfly]

Hope he has a fast recovery... Thoughts to ya Bill and your bro !!
