Sounds like the real police: catching crooks, not running seatbelt missions. God bless him and his family.
Thank you for remembering Sgt. Liczbinski.
Thoughts and prayers sent to the ?Sergeant's wife and children, and the rest of his immediate family, as well as the entire PPD. My heart hurts for them all.
May he R.I.P.
Why do we continue to work for cities that hate us?
Where are our M4s??Cant I just private purchase one like my pistol?
after over 25 yrs service this Cpd sgt finally made it to the Washington Memorial ceremonies to honor all of our nations' police officers slain in 07...the gracious
thank yous and tears of the spouses
and parents and children of these men and women as they passed by Chicago and L.A officers who stayed and formed a color guard for the families exit from the capital lawns would tug at your heart. Many of the family members made eye contact and simply nodded because their personal grief choked the words in their throats.
What I am trying to convey is simply each and every officer should go, these ceremonies and your presence really makes a difference to your police family. Hope to see many more Cpd there in09. And special thks to the fine officers who went to Walter Reed Army Hospital to visit and cheer the fellows who have lost arms and legs and are struggling to get their lives back in order, how proud of these young men and women we are and how humbling to be in their company...special thanks to Jim Healy for bagpipping with no notice and lifting spirits! See you same time and place next year God willing....thanks so very much.
