Florida officer
While I wont say his name, since they hve not released it to the public, I was in the academy with this man. He was an outstanding man. This is truly a sad situation. Any loss of our brothers and sisters in blue is of course. But this man was a wonderful man, always looked upon in the academy, our own blessing, we were the "blessed" class because we had a man of God with us,, was the on going "joke" if you will. There are not enough kind words to be said about this man. Senseless killing.

Florida Cop Killed
As usual when I read this stories, my heart aches. Where is the public outcry? Where are all the community leaders, crying for justice? Oh, excuse me, this was just a cop, not a minority bad guy who was abused by his parents and can't be blamed for his actions. It is only by the grace of God that I am here reading this news rather than having my name printed on this page. God keep you Officer Widman.

Really Sad
Once again, another Florida LEO is shot & killed this year. I too agree that there is never any public outcry when this happens, which has been way to frequently lately in Florida. Where's Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton?................Yeah right! When will this country learn from it's mistakes and stop letting these activist groups dictate the actions of Law Enforcement.
