RIP Officer Sean Bolton

Memphis' crime issues have been well-publicized. The city has been featured on A&E's First 48. A couple days ago, Officer Sean Bolton was responding to a drug deal at a Memphis apt. complex. Unfortunately, that would be his last call as the cop was shot down by this dealer. Currently, there's a warrant out for the criminal's arrest. Memphis Police, and U.S. Marshalls are in pursuit of Tremaine Wilborn. I'll tell you this: If the U.S. Marshalls are after you, you had to have committed a heinous crime. I expect Wilborn to be caught within a few months. Bolton's murder marks the 4th Memphis police officer to be slain in the last 4 years. It's no surprise that law enforcement is a risky field. Policemen face society's worst daily with no guarantee they'll make it home to their families. Cops risk their lives every day to make sure we stay safe, so when a good cop is killed in the line of duty, I mourn (in my own way) for the officer's family because they have to go on without a husband, father, uncle, etc. I lift up all law enforcement officials in prayer because these streets are dangerous. Cops have to do whatever it takes to make it back to their families. Most policemen don't want to take someone's life, but when they're going against a criminal with nothing to lose, it comes with the territory. Police(wo)men deal with the worst of the worst, and sometimes they're tired of seeing what they see daily, but when they take that oath, they have to honor that.
