   My prayers are with his family I know how hard it is to lose someone to a DUI person, there is never any closure but you do go forward they want us too! DUI people should never be allowed back on the street, throw the key away. They never feel are PAIN and LOST that goes on forever. James Manor the, Metro office was just starting his career, only to be taken away by an IDOIT who is scum. James you are in a better place and I know that you will take care of your family from above my you help your family fine peace and all of those who loved you will never forget you. Blessed be go towards the light so let it be...
   Metro should NOT have to put there lives on the line for scum, it hurts to lose a family member especially to DUI the laws need to change...

   I get so angry reading many of these comments...
   Our Metro officers protect this city by choice....and deserve our thanks and support... it takes a certain kind of hero to put their life on the line every day for people they do not even know....
   The entire point gets missed in all of these details... a young father is gone today because he was trying to get to a Las Vegas resident to protect her .... many of those who have little respect for our officers should take a closer look at where people are and what they are doing when they are involved with the police.
