I think "King Jason" is with that department. When I first heard about the accident, I was hoping it wasn't him. Funny how when things happen, our first thoughts are about people we might know of from this board.

RIP Officer Dodson.

Rest in Peace officer. I hope you get a good seat at that big coffee shop in the sky. And prayers to his family as well.

Is there some fund officers pay in to cover their funerals and give their spouses something to get by on?

if he was hit by a drunk driver, how come the driver is only being charged with dwi and failing to render aid?

The story hasn't updated yet. I'm sure the charges will now be upgraded to include intoxication manslaughter.

And RIP to Officer Dodson. Condolences to his wife and three children.

How is the asshole drunk not charged with vehicular manslaughter/homicide?
