Not trying to spark any problems, but...

[MillerTime]

if you believe in prayer or anything of the like, please say a few for CRPD Officer Tim Davis. No only is he a great police officer, but he's an amazing person. He's the first to lend a hand and the last to complain about it. He was assaulted during the line of duty last night and he is at the University Hospital in IC. Here's the story if you're not aware of the situation:

Wow. What a horrible story.

 

[gocy444]

i will

 

[Dave19642006]

terrible, just plain sickening. Police officers do so much to protect us.


I hope a Hawk player is not involvrd since it was a robbery

 

[kgreeny]

I'll keep him and his family in my prayers. Godspeed for him to make it back.

 

[The_Architect]

Wow, :sad:

 

[CycloneErik]

Will do. Terrible story.

 

[JHudd]

WOW, I didn't know that was the Tim everyone was talking about, Tim is a great guy, from Solon and is also a former Marine, I have known him since we were both 16. We were both stationed at Ft. Huachuca, AZ for a while together and had some very good times, I wish him the best.

i wish him the best. 1st ave around that area towards COE has been a nightmare lately.

Prayers out to him and his family. Sometimes we just don't know why things happen. I suppose that is where faith comes into play.

Hasn't it been that way forever? I grew up in CR and that area was brutal ever since I can remember.

My HS basketball coach's son got shot near there a few years back.

Best wishes to Officer Davis and his family.

Man that is just terrible. I hope they find the kid and shick the kit out of him.

Wow. I didn't know that. I admittedly don't follow the CR news much anymore.

I really hope CR doesn't turn into this kind of town...

My Prayers are with him and his Family.

Increase in crime is a usual product of a down economy.
(not a political statement just a social human nature comment.)

I honestly think it could be the economy and honestly, lots of people lost lots in the flooding last year. 2 of the factors.

Your telling me. I work there every day. It's really turned into a bad situation in the area. For me, I work a ton of nights and weekends in the office. Thankfully, I park close to the building and watch my surroundings when I leave, but the area has gotten worse.

I really hope things start to change.

Looks like they may have found the person responsible for this crap.
