I do not live in Tarrant County, but I worked there. I have interacted with you officers several times. They showed me kindness and help. They are the best. I wish this had not have happened. I had a health issue at a hospital and they acted professional and with love and caring.

Hit and run!!! and Still made bond🤦‍♂️ Why are they calling a hit and run an accident? This was a vehicular manslaughter from a drunk driver!!!

[@chogan201]

She revoked her Probation and she also was drinking and driving and she killed a Peace Officer...and she hit and ran andvtried to flee on foot...I hope the Judge gives her along time to think over this...She is a danger to the public and should not be out on the streets!!! I would say life without the possiability of parole ...
