I know there are some assholes that make the LEO field look bad, but if you folks can ever look past your jaded outlook on the topic, there are stories like this:
Deputy US marshal, suspect killed in W.Va.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A deputy U.S. marshal was killed and two others were wounded Wednesday in West Virginia when a drug suspect opened fire on them with a shotgun and then was shot dead, authorities said.
It happened at 8:30 a.m. as deputy marshals entered a residence in Elkins to serve a search warrant, U.S. Marshals Service spokesman Dave Oney said.
The suspect, Charles E. Smith, 50, was wanted on charges related to possession with intent to distribute cocaine, Oney said. A search warrant for Smith's residence had been issued Tuesday by a federal magistrate judge.
