Good grief. Prayers out to that officer for a complete recovery. Hope they find the suspects swiftly. And deal with them likewise.

I heard that earlier...those are always hard to hear. Tpr. Ponder's was the worst I've heard.

 

Be safe Rocket, watch your 6.

Stay safe Rocket.

Obviously there is a lot on this locally here in deep WKY but strangely I have not seen any national mention. I guess this is to rural for the National Media to care. Carbondale is one of, if not the most dangerous cities in the USA which is shocking considering it is a city of roughly the size of Paducah and home to SIU.

When I worked at SIU in the early 80's it was well known that a fair amount of Chicago drugs came in via Carbondale. I'm guessing things haven't changed that much.
