Be careful out there everyone. Assume nobody will be watching for you, so you MUST be watching for them.

Killed by a vehicle leaving the fairgrounds? Some people are insane behind the wheel.

I have been here for a short time, but it seem that as of the past 2-3 weeks, there have been more EOW threads than usual. Is this right?
Either way, I do not care for threads in any quantity.

Kind of like on the internet forums - People continually flip someone off who they know is obligated to not break the rules in response. Yeah, usually that type of stupidity eventually yields the rewards that are earned.
And then there are those trying so hard to be offended that they're imagining things that haven't even been said in a thread.

According to ODMP.
2012 97 (YTD) Line of duty deaths
2011 173
2010 173
2009 139
2008 152
2007 201
2006 161
So on average, in this country, that works out to about one every other day or one every third day.
