@mspmetrodet Great job! Technology is a great thing. People that don’t understand technology or that unfortunately sometimes things happen probably shouldn’t comment. This prevented a high speed chase from the suspect as well as possible fatalities by the suspect.

@MichStatePolice People, we have lost 2 police officers in a week, 2 people who lived a life of service to their communities. Always be thankful for their sacrifices in life and death. Be mindful of their families, pray for them.
Even in these sad events, I thank all of you that keep us safe

[MSP Second District @mspmetrodet]

We are heart broken over the line of duty death of Deputy Brad Reckling. Our community has lost a hero, a wife a husband, and his daughters their dad. Please keep the @oaklandsheriff and the Reckling family in your thoughts and prayers.

[Andrew Yates @ayates067]

@mspmetrodet @MichStatePolice WHY??… does everyone think they can escape the helicopter! Not happening and by the way… if you’re going to run… have a FULL tank of gas, his cell phone was probably dead too. Great job! Great cooperation.

[Andrew Yates @ayates067]

@MSPFirstDist @MichStatePolice Thank you for your service… RIP
