I just wanted to reinforce what everyone has posted about Bryan. I have known this man and his family for most of my life and they are incredible people! I know how some individuals look at cops as the enemy and I have seen on some cases where I could see those feelings warranted. However, what I think some people forget to remember is no one likes to be “labeled” by your RACE, gender, job, where you live, etc. This man is a great husband, father, friend, and police officer. I have never in all the years have I known him to judge someone by their looks, race, gender, clothes, where they live or hangout. He would give the shirt off of his back to help someone. It sickens me to know that people who hate to be discriminated against would do the same. Bryan, I wish you and your family the best. You all are in my prayers!
