Dangerous job and under paid for the dangerous situations you encounter. People expect perfection from someone who’s only human. Glad he/she is going to be ok. Sad to see the LEOs are being attacked and targeted. Where’s all the compassion and empathy people are screaming about?!
Thank you for your service. Our household admires and respects people who wear the badge.
Deputies vehicle struck be A NO BAIL suspect!! Great idea, No Bail—-These Liberals are ruining our country!! Also this week a No Bail car theft criminal was let out of jail & busted 3 more times in one day for the same!!! Suicidal progress for America!
Exactly. I feel empathy for all the victims, no justice being served and the career criminals continue about their lives of lawlessness. New leadership is in desperate need. Voting RED.
JoJo-
I think “no bail” means they are not eligible to bail out…they must physically remain in custody until they see the judge before they are eligible for release. It doesn’t mean $0 bails them out.
Kristin: ? Thanks? I thought “no bail” meant they let the criminals out of jail with no $ posted, because the jails are crowded & Wuhan China virus. That’s why I thought that bastdard was out to try and kill the sheriff?
“No Bail” can be confusing nowadays because some people are now using the same term when referring to the new “cashless nail” where the suspect just get released without having to post a bond.
Traditionally, for the last several decades at least, No Bail is typically used when someone has a No Bail Warrant which he or she will not be allowed to bond out without the approval of a judge or Parole Board.
I hope he is ok thanks you all the officers for keeping our community safe
I am Thankful they are ok. These last few weeks have shown me people have lost their ever loving mind. Our Police are Precious. People are Precious. Stop all this nit picking and pointing fingers and lets just get along. There is good and bad people all over. Don’t forget who you are. Thank you All Law Enforcement and Health care workers. Bless everyone with simple love
Lee… thank you. There are good and bad people everywhere. It is sad but true. Compassion is priceless.
A few weeks ago that criminal would have been shot. But now deputies can’t shoot at a car so the criminals know they can get away with it.we have tied them up with red tape.
Thank goodness the deputy is okay, thank you all for your services. This is insane that an innocent law enforcement gets ambushed for NO reason.
punishment needs to happen an NO bail!
Confused when you say corner of Lyons and Sierra Hwy, I don’t think those streets meet.
