Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

This is just another tragic story to deal with. My son is a deputy in NC and everyday I worry about him encountering something like this. My deepest sympathy goes out to officer Houts, his family, and the members of the Montgomery, AL police department. Very ironically, on the same day and time, a deputy in Polk County Florida lost his life and his canine companion - all starting with a routine traffic stop. I am very sorry...............
