My full time job is doing exactly what the officer who was shot does. I knew when I became a police officer that I was picking a job that has a lot of negative stereotypes. I spend as much free time as I can in my barn working on my MM tractors as my form of stress relief, and to put the world back into perspective. I also spend a lot of time on YT reading about my passion. The opinions expressed in this discussion do not surprise me.
The opinion of no one should get preferential treatment is interesting. So let's say I'm scheduled for surgery on a dark spot on my skin in the only operating room available, and you are waiting on a heart transplant. A heart comes available and your surgery needs to be done at the same time my procedure is scheduled. No preferential treatment.....you can wait till I'm done.
I'm not trying to be offensive (maybe I am), but where has common sense gone? If getting an escort saved that officers life then is it wrong? Also, I have seen escorts for many other medical emergencies in my 22 year career....and most were for REGULAR people. If it's saving a life it makes sense!
The media has done an awesome job painting a picture that all the police do is violate rights, and kill minorities. Who cares that the number of bad apples is probably less than 1% of the total police officers in this country.....we all must be bad, rights violating killers (ok maybe that's going too far).
Bottom line is if a life needs saved do whatever it takes to save it regardless of who it is. Sometimes I feel like we now live in the United States of It's All About Me and Screw Everyone Else.
I heading to the MM forum to get back to learning about my next therapy session in the barn tonight.
PS: Steamboat please list the states you are referring to. Where I live murder is murder no matter who you are....no preferential treatment for killing a police officer here.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
