I have a question for all of you. How many of you have to provide your own duty weapons.
The main reason I am asking is because I have a friend of mine who is a New Orleans Police Officer who once worked for St. Louis Park P.D. as a police officer.
Since the storm - New Orleans has gone to h*ll in a handbasket (as we all know) and due to the rioting and the lack of support and equipment of all kinds he has had to dig deep into his pockets to get the gear he needs - in the days following the storm he has had to buy his own tactical gear (Class IV tactical vest, bullet resistant helmet (namely because one of his fellow female officers was shot in the head and died instantly) and his own rifle - namely a AR-15 with 300 rounds of ammo.
He calls up here quite often thanks to him still having a 952 area code cell phone - needless to say he and the rest of the folks are having a very hard time down there - he calls mainly to vent on what is happening, first it was the looters ---- not the ones who were taking food, but the ones who were taking TV sets with water pouring out them....and the rest (I'll save you the details - too graphic to say)
And one more request I said I would make on his behalf - please take a few minutes to send your prayers to those who are only trying to serve and protect. Thank you.
