    Baldwin County deputies luckily remembered the deputy who was killed in Mobile just a week ago. Some people rather see an injured or dead officer than a hurt suspect – to each his own. With the ever increasing violence the time is coming for everybody to decide which side he is on .

    Exactly right, good job ESCO. They don’t come out alive over in Baldwin County, whether injured in a car or mentally disturbed.
