It's Friday and time once again for the list of events going on in and around the Bradenton - Sarasota - Venice area this weekend.

Before getting into that, I do want to take a moment to briefly comment on what happened in Dallas last night. Without getting into politics, I just want to say my thoughts and prayers are with the families of the 5 police officers slain in the line of duty. I have both friends and family members who now serve or are retired from serving as police officers or sheriff deputies. It is not an easy job, but a necessary one.


Back to the events.

Since you opened the thread up to the subject, I just want to say that there is nothing political about what happened in Dallas; it was murder fueled by hatred and fanned by those who traffic in hate. 99% of the LEOs out there (if not more) are great people who dedicate their lives to helping others while having to deal with the worst our society has to offer. They have my greatest respect and appreciation, and I hope you will communicate that to your friends and family members.
