In the News

~~In Loveland, CO today: a man serving divorce papers is beaten to death with a baseball bat!
When LCSO responded they found the man choking his 2 young children. Deputies tazed him TWICE before he let go of the now unconscious kids. (I'm not second guessing the dep's, but I might have used a LITTLE more force after seeing that happening, a little). The Deputies obviously saved 2 young lives today, cudo's for LCSO.
Without being privy to all the facts, let's at least break this down and see how this might have been avoided.
1. I don't think it was a great idea to have the estranged wife accompany the Process Server
2. And even more importantly, See #1
Just a reminder folks, always be alert to signs and trust your instincts.
Besides all the ways we can evaluate the situation, once it went south notice it wasn't a gun or even a knife, but a BASEBALL BAT! Out of the 3 weapons listed, when within range the bat is the EASIEST weapon to defend against. Step inside people, and negate the power of the swing and do some swinging of your own!


~~In Arvada, CO today: two unarmed Hispanic men robbed an Arvada convenience store wearing....ready for this....thongs on thier faces for masks. The underwear was definately of the 'string' variety by the looks of it: Whats thong (I mean wrong) with people!
