Anyone walking the streets downtown at 4:30 am carrying a gun, unless in APD uniform is absolutely looking to do harm one way or another.  At work, we see these officers every single day come into our cleaners and we see the type of people they have to deal with regularly.  I'm sure it's not an easy job to do and our police officers are human beings also that feel fear and panic just like everyone else.  I pray for a full recovery for the injured officer and want him and all of APD to know that I appreciate them and the possible and unfortunate sacrifices that they make to ensure our safety.  And for the lost souls walking around downtown up to no good, I wish you would think twice before making such horrible decisions.  But I will pray for you too.
