i am celebrating national police week by highlighting some of the lesser-told stories of our boys in blue giving their lives while protecting & serving, such as accidentally getting shot in the dick by your own partner who was simply trying to shoot the dog you were beating. https://t.co/BrCMPzfvSw

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15th as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. Join us today as we honor those officers who have given their lives in the line of duty. #rememberthefallen https://t.co/SPhSCwfJqd
