An incident, such as this, where three officers were shot, and one hero police officer died, as well as the suspect, but not even make a blip on any new source in California, tells you how messed up our country is! I had to go to Missouri.net to find out about this shooting. Let me take a wild guess.... Is the dead suspect black?

They have not said. They don't even know why he shot them. He had no warrants, only a couple misdemeanor convictions. What I understand is that even his gun was legal.

Mark, the shooter was white. They now say he had a long record,

Cpl. Cooper will be the 22nd on the wall of honor.

Try today to reduce the fuel usage... just use 99 gallons.
That should help lower expenses this week.

I don't know how people stay in business with the costs of today. Overhead; wages, insurance, state and federal license fees, equipment repair/maintenance, fuel......

It's very difficult. If I wasn't established and had good contracts I'd be done. I feel sorry for any excavation guys that started out in the last couple years. I couldn't imagine having a bunch of equipment payments on top of everything else. Remember a 30k skid steer is now 70k and an 80k excavator is not 150k and people are jumping on buying them.

I'm doing my part. I'm part of the evil ones building homes for people to move into to bitch about people like us building homes.

A second officer from Joplin, officer Jake Reed will not recover. He is on life support before they harvest his organs.

 

[Havasu]

What? I heard the 2 others were stable?

 

[oldognewtrick]

Rusty, did the family get home?

 

[Floorist]

Rusty, did the family get home?

Yes, late last night.
