Dan Lets see how well you do when you are shot in the face. I am sure you are more likely to be riding in the back seat of a police cruiser than the front. Funny i have never heard of anyone being shot in a good way.

I think this is a bit of stage managing to hold this award on the very day that the suspect was sentenced; Yes, it's awful that anyone was hurt, but I understand it wasn't that bad an injury... he could drive himself to care. Why all the ceremony?

Congradulations Scott and to all of the other Officers that assisted in getting this rif-raf off the streets. Sheriff Officer's and city police officer's have a very dangerous job when they are called to set foot onto someones property to investigate a complaint, because the resident has the upper hand on knowledge of the house and can ambush an officer very quickly. This is why these officers have the MOST dangerous job. Training and experience keeps these officers alive. Thanks to all officers for your protection.
