Fearmongers want all Americans to languish in a nationwide shutdown with no end in sight.It's amazing how the Left is hellbent on destroying America, and in this case, taking away our economy to get back at Trump, in order to defeat him in November. Hey, Demonicrats, nice try, but it's not going to work!
The Blue States, which are those run by Demonicrats, have had bad policies that actually made the Coronavirus DemPanic all the worse for their senior citizens, and those with underlying health conditions that are most at risk, and put their lives in grave jeopardy. New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania all made these horrifying mistakes. Not to mention, many of these blue states are wanting to extend the damage to the economy, and keep us from getting back to work.
It truly is sickening what they are doing to us in those states. And it isn't just the Blue States that are doing that. You can find local enclaves, mayors or county boards of supervisors in Red States that have gone a bit too far with the shutdown, too.
I live in one of those Red States, and have one of those mayors in my city, that had our annual Freedom Festival cancelled. I thought that was kind of an "in your face" when it comes to celebrating America's Freedom around the 4th of July. I am betting that a lot of people are going to be shooting off fireworks around here! I wonder what the police are going to do when thousands of people are violating all of the DemPanic "social distancing" rules, and shooting off fireworks that have been banned in this city? It's going to be interesting to see what the police will do.
Davis, wearing a brown helmet, stood by with his hands clasped at his waist as his wife, Stephanie, addressed the media this morning for the first time since the March 29 assault.
“Tim is a new Tim,” Stephanie Davis said. “He will never be as he was before the incident, and all of our friends and family are trying to get to know the new Tim.”
The Davis family thanked the public and said support from strangers has been very humbling.
Officer Davis was assaulted while he investigated a mugging in 1600 block of First Avenue East. Stephanie Davis said she was told her husband was struck once in the face with a blunt object. She said the impact from the blow and from his head hitting the pavement fractured his skull and caused swelling and bruising to his brain.
Officer Davis has no memory of the incident. He spent 39 days in the hospital before being released May 7.
Once he became a police officer in Cedar Rapids, he convinced a girlfriend that spaghetti grew out of the ground. He was known to rile up an employee at Donutland by snatching the short woman’s jacket. He’d toss it on the street sign out front and cackle as she jumped to try to retrieve it.
“He was a jokester and liked to get everybody laughing,” said Gail Sunner, his youngest sister.
Monday marks the 25th anniversary of Bret Sunner’s death.
He was shot and killed on June 8, 1984, while responding to a domestic disturbance on Hamilton Street SW, making him the most recent of six Cedar Rapids police officers killed in the line of duty since 1885.
It was dark and drizzly the night Sunner walked up behind a house. He and his partner had been told a man was in the backyard with a gun, and the officers were using available cover. Officers suspect Sunner’s pant leg caught on a garage, and he clicked on his flashlight to take a look. The glow apparently outlined his figure and gave Leonard Berg, 55, a clear shot.
A slug from a 12-gauge shotgun struck Sunner in the forehead. Sunner’s girlfriend, a police dispatcher named Jackie Henderson, heard the gunshot as she drove to work.
At age 25, Sunner was gone in an instant.
Berg fired another shot that tore a 3-inch hole in the driver’s door of a patrol car, causing shrapnel to be lodged in the thigh of Officer William Hanse, who recovered. Berg later was convicted of first-degree murder and is serving a life sentence at the state penitentiary in Fort Madison.
Twenty-five years later, Bret Sunner’s mother, Bonnie, said it still hurts. She thinks about him every day, even when she doesn’t notice his badge in her bedroom.
“They think eventually you can get rid of that, but I don’t know how you ever would,” Bonnie Sunner said. “They call it closure, but there is no closure.”
