Never Routine for our Police Officers

14 Jun 2015 263
Our city and police force found out that what we take for granted with our law enforcement was shattered this week. On a routine arrest by the Hate Crimes Unit, the man inside the house fired 50 rounds at the officers killing one and wounding another before taking his own life as the house burned to ground around him. A police officer dying in the line of duty is a rarity in our city. The last one was 25 years ago. Our city is currently lined with blue ribbons in memory of this current victim. I was taking pictures for The Sunday Challenge. This week it is taking pictures out of a moving vehicle. The officer appears to be about a routine task, but you never know what may happen. Another Link in the Chain: Street curb to street curb.

The assignment was to shoot out the window of a moving vehicle. This is one of the shots I got.

White Cane with no Sidewalk

When I took this photograph out the window of the car I did not realize that he had a white cane. We found him later at the big box Home Depot store. He really got around that day. Here he is navigating his way past businesses on a main thoroughfare through our city. There were no sidewalks along this stretch which must have made his travels more difficult.

Fuel Prices Too High

That price is based on the Canadian dollar per liter. It was in the low .80's not too long ago. Tonight the price was up 17 a liter. A dollar eleven point 4. What a yo-yo the fuel prices are these days. One of my shots for The Sunday Challenge that I did not use. Shooting out of a moving vehicle.
