Yikes!

Apparently there's been a shooting or some shootings in SW Puyallup. That's the good part of town. No details yet, but I drove by a mass of police cars on my way home tonight.

Here's a link to the story. This is my neighborhood. The police are still there. I drove right through that area on my way home.

How scary for you to find this on the news! Hopefully it was an isolated incident and not a downward trend in the area.

Your mentioning that it was a good part of the town and "driving through" triggered a memory -- years ago, someone organized a group weekend skiing trip to upstate NY from where I worked, and everybody boarded a tour bus from the parking lot on Friday after work. The bus driver got lost and drove us through the worst part of Camden, NJ imaginable. :shock:

Yes, I agree. The police deserves respect.
I need some more of those little Stetson grasshoppers to protect me.

MY brother is a chief of police and he calls police cops, police, but mostly officers.
