I miss you, Todd. You were like a big bro to me in so many ways. I just hope you knew how much I appreciated how you were always there for me when we were growing up, how you made me feel safer just by standing up for me when I was having a hard time. RIP, my friend. The world is emptier without you in it.

First I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Deputy May's family and pray that they find some peace during this difficult time.
Second to Lt Kincaid beautifully written and very well said, I lost my brother, James in VietNam 43 years ago. He gave his life so people like Ms Houston could be free. And I am sad to say that most of the country didnt care then and they dont care today.
God Speed Deputy May ......You now walk with Heaven's greatest Heros...

I am tired of hearing about Whitney Houston. Yes, she was a great artist and yes her music was some of the best, but when you remove all the glitter and glamour, she was a DRUG ADDICT!
This country has its priorities turned around, we glamorize druggies, criminals, thugs and gang members and chastise people like Tim Tebow. We rarely hear about our real American hero's - the military, the police officers, fire fighters, troopers, rangers, agents and medical personnel who place their lives on the line each and everyday for those that could care less.
Today, the law enforcement community lost another brother and do we hear about that? No! Does anyone care that the death rate of these hero's rise each and every year? Doesn't appear that way. The National News should be covering these deaths in an attempt to change the laws making it an immediate death sentence to harm or intentionally injure one of our hero's.
Well, I am taking the time today to remember my fallen hero, Sergeant Michael May who was killed in the line of duty today. Sergeant May did not deserve to die this way and yet another criminal will be given a light sentence and we, the tax payers, will support this piece of shit.
I am sending my condolences to Sergeant May's family, friends and department. I pray that the good Lord will ease the pain this department, family and friends are experiencing. I pray that Sergeant May will rest in peace and become my guardian angel and protect me from these criminals that have no respect for the law or their communities.
Until we, as members of this great country speak up, nothing will ever change and we as a society will continue to idolize the wrong people and forget those that really mean the most to our community and nation!

While I live in Maryland now, I was born in Beckley and I will always be a mountaineer. I have been in law enforcement for 29 years, a member on the honor guard for over 20 years. I have seen dozens of brothers & sisters make the ultimate sacrifice. Its never easy to hear. Its not how they died, but how they lived that makes them heroes. Rest In Peace Sarge. Montani semper liberi.
