Another officer shot
Harrison County, TX Sheriff Office had a deputy serving paper to repo a travel trailer yesterday afternoon. No words were exchanged but an 81 year old man shot her in the head. She was fortunate in that the bullet just grazed her head. The man was later arrested without incident and the deputy was hospitalized in good condition.
These officer shootings are getting to be a daily occurance and I still question why.

Handling repos and evictions is part of my job description. I take another officer or two with me until I find out what the situation is going to be. Most are peaceful, some are not. Some folks just don't understand you don't get to keep something that you didn't pay for. The Texas officer was lucky this time.

As Charlie said, she was real lucky.
My wife is a Deputy Sheriff and up till about 4-5 months ago had been serving eviction orders on foreclosures. Definitely a bit of job security in today's market but not the safest beat in the County. She did that for close to two years and I was relieved when her LT moved her to handle the work release program. Now she gets to check up on the felons as they try to reintegrate to society or finish paying their debt to society. I still think a patrol beat is safer.

The lack of respect for authority and decency permeates our society today. A large segment of our society has no respect for themselves or anyone else. It starts with birth for some of these people. They receive little or no parental supervision. They attend schools with others just like themselves. Lack of respect for any authority is revered by the peers of such children. Bad kids become bad adults without a moral compass. Police depts. across the country are having their ranks reduced in the name of austerity. My hat is off to anyone willing to remain in law enforcement given the lack of respect for that profession in the midst of an ever increasingly violent nation.

They are like the school shootings. The more publicity they get, the more people wanna take part in them because of the resulting notoriety.
