End of Watch: Sgt. Jacob Roesler, Clay Township Police, Ohio.
He was 26. Early this morning he was heading to someone else's crash with his lights on when an SUV hit his cruiser in the intersection of SR 51 and SR 795. He died right there.
Three years on the job, already a sergeant, and he went out going to help somebody.
Rest easy, Sgt. Roesler. We'll take it from here.

RIP. South Dakota Deputy Sheriff Katherine Frank, who gave her life in the line of duty, is the 74th officer lost in 2026.
Deputy Sheriff Katherine Frank succumbed to her wounds resulting from a shooting near the 2900 block of South Keyrell Drive in Sioux Falls, three days prior.
On October 9, around 7:30 pm, Deputy Sheriff Frank and two additional deputies arrived at a scene to serve a mental health hold. Approximately 30 minutes later, shots were fired, and both Deputy Frank and the suspect were struck. Emergency aid was administered at the scene, and Deputy Frank was transported to a local hospital, where she remained in critical condition until her passing three days later.
The suspect was also treated at the scene and transported to a local hospital. He has been charged with three counts of attempted first‑degree murder of a law enforcement officer- premeditation, and three counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer.
Deputy Frank had served with the Minnehaha Sheriff's Office for nearly two and a half years and had previously served for two years with the South Dakota State Penitentiary.
Deputy Frank, 26, is survived by her parents, five siblings, grandparents Dan and Deb, boyfriend Austin, and her beloved dogs, Ares and Aspen.
In one final act of generosity, Deputy Frank became an organ donor, giving the gift of life to others.

Police Officer Shane Seiber was murdered when he was shot and killed while responding to a disturbance call in West Philadelphia, near the 100 block of North 52nd Street at approximately 1:00 am.
Shortly after midnight, officers were called and dispatched to a complaint of a person wielding a gun from a residential porch. Upon arriving at the home, the officers were ambushed when the suspect fired at the officers as they stepped onto the porch. Officer Seiber and a fellow officer were struck multiple times before the suspect fled down a nearby alley. The officers were transported to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where Officer Seiber succumbed to his wounds.
The second Philadelphia police officer shot in the ambush has not yet been publicly identified. The 33-year-old officer, a father of five, was shot 12 times and underwent surgery at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. He was last reported to be in stable condition despite his serious injuries.
The suspect was apprehended after a search and neighborhood lockdown; charges are pending.
Officer Seiber had served with the Philadelphia Police Department for 10 years.

🚨#BREAKING: The 11-YEAR-OLD BOY who was stopped by police, FINGERPRINTED, and ordered to court for riding his dirt bike to go FISHING 300 FEET FROM HIS OWN HOUSE...
...has just pleaded NOT GUILTY in court
The 6th-grader MISSED SCHOOL because the State of Florida is prosecuting him for a misdemeanor.
His name is Cade Kirchner, he's 11.
He built and sold squirrel tables all summer and saved $900 and bought a little electric dirt bike with his own money.
On Labor Day he grabbed his fishing pole and rode toward the pond at Sweetwater Park.
Police pulled him over, fingerprinted, ticketed, and then TOWED HIS DIRT BIKE AWAY.
The day before court, Cade said: "I'm feeling very scared. I'd rather be in school instead of being at court."
His dad called the State Attorney's Office on Monday hoping they'd drop it.
Their answer: they're pursuing charges.
So Tuesday morning at 9 a.m., Cade missed class and walked into Seminole County Court with his mom, his dad, and a lawyer.
He stood there for less than two minutes.
The judge told him to come back December 2nd.
His dad's words after: "How ridiculous that he had to miss school for that."
New bodycam video came out this week. The officer, on camera, told an 11-year-old:
"You're getting one ticket today. You could have gotten six criminal violations, but I'm giving you one."
Six criminal violations, for a kid with a fishing pole.
Did Cade technically break the law? Sure. The bike has no pedals and the state of Florida law calls it a motorcycle and even Cade's own parents have said he shouldn't have been on the road.
The argument is that we have VIOLENT CRIMINALS who are being released every single day by the court system all the time who are constantly let off with warnings...
But this kid is getting the full weight of the justice system brought against him.
Now prosecutors are spending taxpayer money to keep the case going into DECEMBER.
Cade's lawyer says he expects it to be resolved soon.
It should have been resolved on the side of the road with the words "go home, kid."
This is so stupid... we are destroying childhood freedom for kids and no one seems to care.
This is not the America I want for my kids.

A Georgia woman is wanted by police after RAMMING another driver’s car and then coming back and SHOOTING at it.
And what started all of this? The other driver HONKED at her. 😳
Police say 23-year-old Sierra Iman Little pulled out in front of another driver, who honked. She responded by ramming their car at high speed and driving away… only to come BACK and fire multiple shots into the vehicle.
Gwinnett County police are still looking for her.
All of this over a freaking horn. People have completely lost their minds.

She was driving home from a camping trip when she came across a bad accident.
One victim was bleeding badly and there was no tourniquet.
Navy Corpsman Cheyenne Daugherty grabbed somebody's belt and made one.
Doctors say her quick thinking likely saved a life.

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after an elderly man who stopped at Walmart after church, told a Black female employee she'd nearly hit his wife with a cart and never apologized...
...the teen called her PARENTS who then BEAT THE ELDERLY MAN TO DE*TH in front of his wife of 42 YEARS!!!!
Yes, you read that right.
He asked a teenager to say "excuse me" and the teens parents k*lled him for it.
His name was Bert Atienza. He was 77 years old.
He and his wife Josephine had been married for FORTY-TWO YEARS and on Sunday, June 7th, they went to church.
Then they stopped at the Walmart to do their grocery shopping.
Josephine says a 17-year-old Black female employee came through with a heavy cart and nearly slammed into her.
No "excuse me." No apology. Nothing.
So Bert did what husbands do, he spoke up for his wife.
In his wife's words, he told that girl: "You almost hit my wife with your heavy cart, and you did not even say excuse me or apologize to her."
Josephine says the teenager then THREW A CAN at them as they walked away. It missed.
The elderly couple, not wanting any trouble, just kept shopping.
Minutes later, that girl's PARENTS showed up at the store, found the 77-year-old man and beat him to de*th.
In his wife's words:
"They crowded my husband, one of the adults hit him in the face. He fell down on the floor. I was terrified. I don't know what's going on."
The Medical Examiner's ruling: blunt head trauma.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

PATHETIC! The NFL just fined a cornerback for giving God the glory.
Arizona’s Kei’Trel Clark wrote “Glory be to God” on his eye black in Week 1. The league hit him with a $6,651 fine.
He posted the letter and said he still has to report to God on judgment day, so he will keep giving that glory out loud.
The @NFL should be ashamed of itself.

Everyone at Walter Reed Army Medical Center called her Peanut long before they called her Colonel.
She'd carried that nickname since she was a kid trailing her older brother and sister around Fort Riley in 1965, given to her by her dad's Army buddy, a platoon sergeant named Omer. Her father was a combat medic. She grew up watching him serve, and she decided early on she wanted to do the same.
She graduated Judson High School in San Antonio in 1979. Five years later, in 1984, she earned her commission through ROTC at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where she'd also played guard on the women's basketball team. By 1992, she'd added a Master's in Health Services Administration from Webster University. Seventeen years of service later, she was one of the Army's most respected personnel officers.
In July 2001, at Walter Reed's Building One, more than 60 friends and colleagues gathered to watch her get pinned Lieutenant Colonel. Word spread through the halls, and the crowd swelled past 100 people. She insisted the real star of the day was the strawberry cake she'd ordered. "You've got to have a great cake when you're promoted," she told a friend, "because that's all that anyone will remember."
She was wrong about that. But not about much else.
That same promotion sent her to a new post: Medical Personnel Officer in the Office of the Army Surgeon General, working as Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel — at the Pentagon. She was 40 years old, and by every account, at the top of her game.
She'd only been at her new desk for about five weeks.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, Lieutenant Colonel Karen J. Wagner was at that desk when a hijacked plane struck the building. She did not run. Witness accounts say she stayed to help others get out first.
She never made it out herself.
She was one of 184 people who lost their lives at the Pentagon that day. The Army posthumously awarded her the Legion of Merit, the Order of Military Medical Merit, and the Purple Heart. She was laid to rest with full military honors at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, not far from where she grew up.
In 2003, Walter Reed named its sports center after her. Fort Sam Houston named the headquarters of its 32nd Medical Brigade "Wagner Hall." Her hometown of San Antonio built an entire high school and named it after her — Karen Wagner High School — where JROTC cadets still study her story today.
She used to joke about her post-Army plans: maybe teaching overseas, maybe hosting a cooking show with her sister, since baking was her thing. She never got the chance to find out which one she would've chosen.
But two decades later, teachers at the school bearing her name say they still look up at her photo every morning before the day starts. Not because of how she died. Because of how she chose to spend the last minutes she had.
That's the part worth remembering.

Lest We Forget...
A Richmond Virginia soldier who gave his life trying to save a fellow soldier in Morocco.
Flags are to be lowered to half-mast in honor of 27-year-old Kendrick Lamont Key, Jr. Key, who was a US Army Lieutenant and platoon leader, is one of two soldiers who died tragically on May 2nd near the Cap Draa Training Area in Morocco. He was deployed there as part of an annual multinational training exercise called African Lion.
According to reports Key died trying to save a fellow soldier, who the US Army has identified as 19-year-old Mariyah Collington of Taveres, Florida. She was a specialist who worked in air and missile defense. That day, Collington fell from the coastal cliffs of the training area and into the Atlantic, per the flag order.
“Without regard for his own safety, Key directed his platoon in an improvised rescue and moved to secure her himself before both were tragically lost in the ocean.”
Both Key and Collington’s bodies were later found in a coastal cave about 500 meters from where they fell into the Atlantic, the US Army said. For his heroism, Key was posthumously awarded the Soldier’s Medal, which is the highest recognition of heroism outside of combat.
“His final act, undertaken to protect a fellow Soldier in his care, stands as the fullest measure of a leader and a true testament to how much he cared about his unit,” a military spokesman said. “Lieutenant Key will be remembered as a courageous, natural-born leader. We honor his devoted and selfless service to his community, the Commonwealth of Virginia and the United States of America. My heart is with his friends and family, who should know a grateful Commonwealth is indebted to him and thanks him for his service and sacrifice.”

This is Shelly Headen, Democrat running for NC House District 62.
She toured Dachau, a Nazi death camp, smiled in front of the ovens, and posted:
“This is where Trump supporters belong.”
41,500 people were murdered there. Jews. Priests. POWs. Political prisoners.
This CPA running to “restore human decency” used that ground to fantasize about putting half the country in a crematorium.
Same woman who wrote America’s “only hope” was an attack on U.S. soil”, preferably Alabama, Louisiana… where the stupid people live.”
This is the mask off.
“You can’t argue his sacrifice”.🙏🏻🇺🇸

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the story of the generation shaped by 9/11 captured more powerfully than this.
An 11-year-old boy watched his country attacked and told his parents he would become a Marine. He kept that promise.
Twenty years later, SSGT Darin Taylor Hoover gave his life at Abbey Gate.
Some people may forget, Darin, but we won’t.
We will never forget. 🇺🇸

🚨"JULES, IT'S BRIAN..." 🕊️
Before United Flight 175 struck the South Tower on 9/11, Brian Sweeney used a seatback phone to call his wife one last time.
She missed the call. When she got home, this was waiting for her:
"I'm on an airplane that's been hijacked. If things don't go well, and it's not looking good, I just want you to know I absolutely love you. I want you to do good, go have good times. Same to my parents and everybody, and I just totally love you, and I'll see you when you get there. Bye, babe. I hope I call you." 💔
"I'm thankful for it. So thankful for that message," Julie said years later. "The calmness in his voice soothed me."
25 years later. Never forget. 🇺🇸🙏

Family, I’m hitting the road again! Over the next several days, I’ll be traveling through the Midwest and out West to personally visit 20 incredible kids who have recently completed our 50 Yard Challenge. Each of them has mowed 50 free lawns in their community for the elderly, disabled, single parents, and veterans. Now it’s my turn to celebrate them and reward their hard work with a brand-new lawn mower, weed eater, and blower!
This is one of the biggest completion trips I’ve ever made. The van behind me is packed from top to bottom with 18 sets of equipment, which is literally all I can fit! I’ll be picking up two more sets along the way to make sure every child receives what they’ve earned. These kids have spent weeks and months serving others without asking for anything in return, and I’m honored to personally shake their hands, congratulate them, and remind them that their kindness matters.
Follow along as we make stops in Fulton, MO; West Des Moines and Council Bluffs, IA; Omaha, Kearney and North Platte, NE; Sioux Falls and Rapid City, SD; Hayden and Rathdrum, ID; and South Jordan and Ephraim, UT. First stop: Missouri! 🚐💨 One lawn at a time, these kids are showing what it truly means to make a difference.

Never forget Firefighter Joseph John Angelini Jr. “Joe”.
FDNY Ladder 4 Age 38 died September 11, 2001
Joe was a husband, a father of three, and a firefighter who ran toward the towers that morning. His father, Joseph Angelini Sr. of Rescue 1, went in after him. Both were lost.
He was remembered as a kind, quiet man who took time to live, loved his family first, and never asked anyone to carry what he wouldn’t carry himself.
Rest easy, Joe.
Your name is still spoken.
Your family still carries the watch.❤️

This is my cousin Dave. He worked in Tower 1 for Cantor Fitzgerald on the 101st floor on 9/11. He was a father to his daughter a devoted son to my aunt and uncle, and good brother to his sister. His birthday was September 10.
He had dinner on his birthday with his mom and dad, (my aunt and uncle) to celebrate.
He got into work a bit early on 9/11, and called my aunt and uncle to thank them for dinner, and tell them how much he enjoyed it. Not long after he hung up, the plane hit. The rest is history as we all know. What many people dont know, is some of the details that families went through after.
For days, his sister(my cousin) and daughter searched for him. While expecting the worst, they held out so much hope that he was alive. They went to hospitals all over NY —the city and the suburbs , trying to see if he might be there. They hung picture after picture of Dave on walls, light posts, businesses, wherever they could, asking people to contact them if they saw him. Nobody did.
Late in October, my aunt and uncle asked our uncle and myself to read at his memorial Mass. It was terrible, seeing only his picture on a table. It wasnt a funeral. I felt his spirit. It didn’t help.
In August almost a year later, they found David. He was actually found about a day or so after 9/11 but it took that long to identify him. My hope is that he and his fellow workers succumbed to smoke, before the tower collapsed so they weren’t alive as the tower collapsed.
So about a year after, there was a REAL funeral. We got to go through a ceremony all over again, this time, with a body. He was buried with his father. My uncle didn’t make it to the first anniversary. The loss of my cousin was too much for him, he was devastated. He told me after his initial ceremony, through tears, that life is hard but Dave’s life didnt have to end this way. That’s not how it’s supposed to be he said.
Over the next few months, more of Daves remains were found. This happened on three separate occasions if I remember it correctly. So, that meant three more trips to a cemetery, opening up wounds. It seemed closure would never arrive. Finally, the end arrived.
Dave and I were ushers at each others weddings. We had great times growing up. We shared laughs reliving those times I miss him.
While I always posted a picture of him on 9/11 as a remembrance, I never went into these details. I decided to now b/c its been 25 years, and sadly that day has been forgotten. Too many young adults who didnt live through those times havent been adequately educated just how deep the wounds from that day are. September 11 is a meaning less news story to them.
What makes this 25 ‘anniversary’ remembrance more important is that NYC has elected a POS as Mayor who identifies WITH the animals who have caused 3000 families unspeakable pain. He doesn’t even respect families wishes that he stay away. He’s a fucking disgrace as an American and as a HUMAN.
I hope the few paragraphs I shared give you a small glimpse of how just one 9/11 victims death impacted his family.
WE MUST NEVER FORGET. EVER!
Thank you if you stayed with me on this post. God bless the victims and their family. God bless America.
