The Kissimmee officers were ambushed according to news reports and the shooter is in custody. 2017 has been a sad year for Central Florida officers, starting with DebravClayton and Norman Lewis.

And we wonder why our police are on high alert and suspicious of every person they come in contact with. I can't imagine what it must be like to go to work, not knowing if you will come home to your family that night.

So sorry to hear of these new ones.

African Americans have a legitimate reason to be wary of police officers; police officers have a legitimate reason to be wary of everybody.

Police officers have a very difficult job, I appreciate and respect their service.
