@in the know..well said!
Thank you to all the leo’s who put everything they have into keeping our communities safe.
Just out of curiosity… who came in first? And, Thank You ECSO, for all you do!
“To walnut hill Roy” your ignorance is obvious. Deputies who wear masks on raids are actively involved in undercover operations. Having suspects see their faces could jeopardize several long term investigations as well as their safety. Have the facts before you spew stupidity.
On a side note, congrats ECSO on a great job. You are appreciated.
They are actually people, I never would have known that by seeing them in their black ninja outfits. I remember the good old days when policemen were policemen and didn’t need to cover their faces like crooks.
Shouldn’t they be competing in full gear while wearing Hazmat Suits & Gas Masks?
