And I got to listen to the whole thing unfold!

What I find very joyous of the situation (nothing to do with being shot) was that my girlfriend had her 2170 glued to her ear listening to the fire side of it all and I had my scanner glued to my ear listening to the PD stuff. She's a great partner.

**WITHOUT STARTING A DEBATE**

But in all seriousness, what would you expect by living in Yakima? This fall/winter we turned on the local news to see who had been shot that day because everyday for the most of a month somebody died on the streets of Yakima every day. What does one do? You all know my opinion of gang members shooting eachother.

It's very clear now. You want to see a bunch of cops in one place at one time? Tell them shots were fired. They come out of the woodwork.

I went to a shots fired and 1 down call while I was doing my EMT ride along. Ended up being a suicide but there were cops everywhere....

All the more reason not to associate with gang members. It literally will kill you.

At least they shoot at each other over your way instead of the police in Pierce county. :roll:

You know Jim, I really wish that was the case....I see this article even made it to the PI:

Let me give you all a little history about me that you may or may not know which will help you all understand my feelings towards this kind of shit. My dad began his career with the Yakima County Sheriff's office in 1987 and continued to work there up until he took his own life in 2004. Before that he was a dispatcher for the State Patrol in Vancouver, WA. I was born in 1989 so all my life, I've been around law enforcement. My uncle is also currently a deputy for the Sheriff's Office. My law enforcement connections extend on to my captain at the fire department who is a sergeant for the Sheriff's Office and the captain at station 2 who is an officer for the Yakima Police Department. I've also left out other family friends and other members of the fire department that are troopers, officer's for Union Gap and Sunnyside Police Departments. So, when I hear about some stupid little fucks like that shooting at people I care about, I tend to get a little hot.

I am not the least bit sad when I open up the paper or listen to the news and see/hear that gang members are shooting and killing eachother. Darn. That's one less out there on the street illegally owning a gun and having the ability to shot at someone I care about. I hope they catch those little fucks and put them in a room and let them dodge bullets.

Unfortunately, the problem will be helped thanks to the state. Thanks Damacrats.

It sounds like it is about time to issue officers RPGs and tell them to use them if they feel the need :mrgreen: :chaingun: :chaingun:
