Lost a friend...

Post by Elderberry » Wed Dec 17, 2008 3:31 pm

This is a very touching story about life, death and friends. It's certain to strum your heartstrings and touch your soul. I normally don't post things like this, but this one I couldn't help . . . I'm still choked up over it:

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

I think Pete would be more comfortable on a nice piece of buttered toast with a side of the requisite bacon :P

I recently lost a friend. he was a great guy and was a college bud. He became a cop. A cop that would tell me about how investigations were being coming illegal entrapment and that was a form of corruption to him. It was something that made him think about leaving the force but he was only a few years from retirement. his family needed the money and security.

When a an another officer said something bad to him about a close friend that shocked him, he became hostile and insulting to this friend. later, when he had found out that his friend was a victim of law enforcer's entrapment and was reaching out for some help from him. He was when into a deep depression and eventually blew his brains out. he became a victim of police corruption.

Now this friend is out to get revenge on this corrupt LEO's and has recently enlisted some retired agents who found out about this corrupt cop and what it did to a really great cop that took his life. From what I heard the cop is going to have an On-the-Job accident. that 's how its donne on the force they say. time to clean house.
