On a somewhat related note, our illustrious city council convenes each meeting in honor of someone special who recently passed away. Last night, they convened in honor of slain convenience store robber, Michael Brown. In the 12 years of meetings I attended as Sgt. at Arms, I cannot remember them ever convening in honor of a slain police officer.

One hell of an officer and one hell of a man.

Sip ... You know all too well that the public hears primarily the negative stories about PD. This clip shows the human side of law enforcement, as well as a man who did his badge proud.
I have to also say WOW. I spent 22 years as a street cop and got into several fights not by my own choosing, I just had no choice. I was never cut, never shot, I did get hit a few times but nothing serious as getting cut by some scum's knife. I refuse to second guess another Officer in a fight for his life and who was forced to take a life. It is too easy to second guess what he should have done. If I had suffered the injuries he did I doubt I would be concerned about a fire at a gasoline station. Dam he is a better man than me. Well done Officer !!!
Well deserved award.
The deceased perp was Dominic Jean, Haitian. Unless you've been in South Florida lately, this might not mean much....

Seconded!
Heh... feel like I should mention that opinions expressed in this thread don't reflect the thinking of all Colorado residents.
Glad I'll be in AZ soon. Sheesh.
what is wrong with some of these people how may times do you have to be stabbed and assaulted before using deadly force to save your own self

Today, with the guarantee of being sued or starting a race war just for defending yourself...probably a lot.

The video was a re-enactment. I'm sure the real fight when down much faster.
Good bless the officer.

Guess they missed the X-rays showing the police officer's facial fractures, including orbital blowouts from young Mr. Brown's gentle ministrations, huh? Did anyone consider how someone like gentle, young Mr. Brown who was 35 feet away "surrendering" was two to three feet from the police officer when he finally hit the ground? I probably would have lost the Sergeant-at-Arms gig when I said, "Are you KIDDING ME?"
Somewhat related, and over on Sip's side of the country: just finished reading an article from the LAPPL web site (LAPD Protective League) titled, "No outrage against attempted murders of police officers."
