A tragic start to Law Enforcement Memorial Week
0As I write this, four police officers have been shot and killed within the past week in the United States. If that was not tragic enough, it is Law Enforcement Memorial Week — the week each year when police officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice are remembered for their service. On May 10, 2021, Deputy Stephen Jones and Deputy Samuel Leonard from the Concho County Sheriff’s Department were shot and killed responding to a call of a dog complaint. A city employee who was with them was also wounded. The suspect was later taken into custody. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEgXyGRp-sY On…
