Awesome Michael! Very nice to see some good done in the community.![]()
In this time of bad press on a police officer here in Missouri, it's good to know that MOST are Great Guys/Gals that do protect and serve the public.
Many go even further then required! Nick, my son, has always been that way! Even as a child, and very young man! I was suppose to be Santa at this gift giving, but my wifes mother was on her death bed, and died yesterday with us near by!
VERY PROUND OF THE MAN, and Officer my son has always been! Iceman/dad

I have to question the motive surrounding this article. People do this all the time for those less fortunate, they just don't make the news when they do it.![]()
there was NO motive! Nick, didn't even know the news was going to be there! He has several older people he helps out, or does little things for! Mainly the ones that live alone he keeps an eye on them to make sure all is well!
I remember back when I helped him start a lawn care service, at 14 years old. A lady that lived a block away came up to me and said: "Do you know what a wonderful SON you have!",,,, I said yes they all 3 are special. she said: " My husband was in an accident, and will not be able to work for a while, and I told Nick we could not afford to have the grass cut." Nick said don't worry about it, when he gets back on his feet you can start paying me then!
He cut her grass for several weeks before getting paid again! He didn't tell me anything,,,, she did!
Now maybe the Police force got prior knowledge through who ever, but I can guaranty YOU it was NOT NICK!
Would not even Cross his mind, he's just that kind of man!

Don't walk on Thin Ice!
A week ago Monday on my seniors league, NO ONE KNOWS THIS UNTIL NOW, but I purchased a bowling ball for a lady that LOVES to bowl, but lost everything a couple years ago when her house burned down.
Two weeks ago on that Seniors league I notice her looking for a ball frantically that would fit her grip. I then asked her why she didn't just get a ball of her own, and her reply was she didn't have the money! I have seen her several years now, bowing with lane balls! She is single in her mid 50's and doesn't have a pot to **** in!
I walked up to her, WITHOUT THE NEWS CHANNELS broadcasting this, and said: Guess what, You won a new bowling ball! Go to the pro shop and tell him you are redeeming your winning ticket for a NEW ball. (gave her a flyer from the pro shop saying): (Winner of Seniors League Free Bowling Ball ) (I know,,, lol real original!!
I also told her it was JUST between her and me, no one else needs to know how you won the ball! She was so excited, SHE loves to bowl, and some how has enough to pay the 7.50 fee each week, and she then uses her 2 free games to practice.
She hardly ever says a word, but a very nice woman, that is still not doing to well.
You should have seen the GLOW IN HER EYES when she got her own Beautiful ball, drilled to fit her grip.
This is what life SHOULD be about! All of us helping one another, not for any motive other then making someone happy, that may be down on their luck!
NO one on that league is on this site, so its not going to make the news... LOL... I was just gald I was able to make HER Christmas special this year.
Bubba, believe it or NOT,,, there are many out there like my son,,, and I could go on and on about his compassion, caring nature!
I told the driller to play along with me,,, and paid him while she was still bowling on league! Its a great FEELING, just to see that you CAN make a difference, small as it may be!

Sorry, either Mike White is rubbing off on me or I need to eat a Snickers.
Michael, I know you are very proud of your son. My son just graduated the police academy a month ago and i'm very proud of him as well.
I didn't bother reading it. Did he shoot a terrorist?
I'd like to see an article about a cop that just got fed up and gunned down a group of like 100 rioters with a tommy gun. And then didn't get indicted because the Grand Jury was like, "Actually...the rioters were kinda annoying."
And I DONT mean that as a statement against cops...AT ALL. I HONESTLY wish that these idiots would get gunned down. Or maybe they block a freeway and a semi truck just runs them over or something. It's just stupidity at this point. I haven't even bothered to watch the news in like two weeks.
Well its obviously these people are not very bright who really says man this thing in my community really makes me mad. I'm going to go tear my community up. I haven't every really figured out where these people get the free time to do this stuff anyway. I don't have time to protest or go around tearing stuff up I've got a job, kids, wife, and bowling maybe we should have storm donate them bowling balls and then they wouldn't have time for this crap either.
Moral of the story don't run from the cops don't **** the cops off.
