I don't know about these comments. They don't seem to be shy about flying the helicopters around here, even at night, with searchlights if they want somebody, even if he's not a cop killer. My wife and I rode our bikes thru a developement just west of us, and they had several police cruisers and a helicopter at standoff distance for a drug bust.I'm glad to see Florida LEOs are so intent on catching murderers...
Oh wait, it's only when their own is killed...
While I'm sure cries of "cop bashing" will be incoming any moment, I doubt that helicopters would be deployed for searches if any regular person had been murdered like this. But this thread may not the time or place for such a discussion.
One thing is for certain. "Joe Citizen" is important, but the extra effort put into this event is to send a message to the badguys. You better not mess with the police. Period. The Gang bangers need to respect the police and fear them. It's as much as a turf war as anything.
The sheriff said it best “This community, the law enforcement community, the Broward Sheriff’s Office, is not going to tolerate thugs in this community that think or imagine that they can assassinate our deputies," said BSO Sheriff Ken Jenne
Just wanted to add something else: A guy I worked with was murdered execution style with his friend recently behind Target. The police seemed to devote a lot of resources to the investigation. They didn't just blow it off. The cops are fighting a war against these gangs and need all the support we can give them.
I'll climb off the soap box now.
