Great story, need to have more articles on here about good cops.

I have posted numerous positive stories on acts of valour by police (primarily from Tippecanoe County), even athletic achievements by officers (shooting, Police Olympics, etc.).

The negative gets play because of the high expectations people have the police and that it is out of the norm behaviour.

All public figures should be held accoutable but, IMHO, it is vital that they receive acknowledgement and words of gratitude for going above and beyond. Plus if it involves guns it is of interest here.

There are men that epitomize how public servants should act, Jeff Dunscomb is in that category, the cop's cop.

Exactly.

Kudos to Officer Dunscomb.

This.

I have the pleasure of working with Officer Dunscomb every shift and I'm always glad to see him on scene.

Good work by the officer.

Kirk, I had not seen too many, so I wasnt trying to sharpshoot. As I am an MP, I know how hard it is to get good press out there for all LEOs. As another person posted, they are held to a higher standard, so they really enjoy trying to tear them down. Bad news about a police officer will go around the nation, good news, if they are lucky will hit the local area. How sad for the double standard

 

[Kirk Freeman]

That's why we balance the score at INGO.

West Lafayette Officer Honored for Courage in Fire

My only question is, why did they have to put him in a fire to honor his courage? Couldn't they have given him a medal without setting him on fire?

Pffft, honor someone without fire? What kind of foo-foo city is this . . . Carmel?

Oh, yeah, well how do you honor a hero, fancy dan, if you DON'T set him on fire? La-dee-dah.
