This is a good lesson for all of us. Getting all hyped up on steroids and playing "fast draw" with your partner can get you shot and killed. It's better to play it safe and follow the safety rules and drug laws. Hell can wait.

rip.

[denniscook123]

rot in hell where all dead pigs go to pay for the pain they have caused here on earth.Cowards that only feel like men when a gun is in their hand or when they are with their gang of thugs with badges. Respect is earned not by instiling fear. Honor.. cops have none or they wouldn't act like thugs. The best cop is a dead cop and the more the better. They should be hunted along with their families and butchered like the dirty pigs they are. WANT JUSTICE? KILL A COP. make the world a better place.
