All I can do is shake my head. I cannot understand this senseless tragedy. Deputy Nielsen, you stood the thin blue line, that line is the last line of defense between the good decent citizens of Louisiana and the despicable thugs. God Speed Deputy, thank you for your service and keeping your community safe.
