OAKLAND, Calif. – A police officer was battling for his life and three more were dead after a parolee with an "extensive criminal history" opened fire at a routine traffic stop and hours later gunned down members of a SWAT team searching for him.The gunman was also killed Saturday, capping a day of violence that the Oakland Police Department said was the worst in its history. Never before had three police officers died in the line of duty on the same day.

awful...
Even though I curse when i get tickets, I love what these guys do. Along with military and fire fighters. Next time you are in line at Starbucks, or at a resturant, tell them thank you and/or pick up the tab. It really goes a long way to know that you are appreciated for the job that you are doing.
I was donw here speaking to some cops when we learned about it on the news... Damned sad stuff..
When some one is murdered a universe is destroyed!
God Bless these guys and thier families.

We do what we do because we love it. We know that our work is intrinsically dangerous, but it is never easy when one goes down. Thoughts and prayers to the Oakland PD and the families of our fallen brothers.
