We started with 75 people. This is what remained at the end.

This is in response to several weeks of disorderly juvenile behavior which endangered both themselves and others.

Prayers for the Addison Illinois Police officer who was shot in the line of duty.🙏🏻

The officer, who was wearing a Kevlar vest, was transported to a local hospital and is recovering from non-life-threatening injuries.

In today’s era of policing, even the most routine calls can spiral into life-threatening confrontations within moments. Officers must balance compassion and caution in an increasingly unpredictable environment. It’s a stark reminder that every shift carries unseen danger. What began as a simple call turned dangerous in seconds, a reminder of the risks every officer faces.
