Incredibly tragic news today from Australia, that Constable Mia Lay of @nswpolice has died in the line of duty in Sydney, whilst responding to an emergency call. 😔
Thinking of her friends, family, loved ones and of course colleagues at such a difficult time.

My fellow Americans: Please direct your attention to this matter for just a moment. Allow this to sink in. The President of the United States of America just said he wants to ban the free press. He said he doesn’t want them in his office, which by the way is the Oval Office in the People’s House. This is unheard of, and we the people cannot let this be!
For the record, we have a free press in this country. For the record we should all be worried not just about this latest outburst, but by all of it going forward without permission — putting our service members in harms way, raising tariffs willy nilly, threatening buildings and institutions unless his name gets put on them. This is not the behavior of a centered leader who is focused on the good of the people. This is not the behavior of a compassionate leader focused on the millions of Americans who cannot afford healthcare, childcare, gas, or food. This is not the behavior of a man who can emotionally regulate himself.
We should all be concerned — those who voted for him and those who didn’t. The midterms are around the corner. Vote like your life and the lives of others are at stake, because they are. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
14yrs ago today at around this time, two colleagues left the parade room having been briefed on the days priorities.
One collected her taser whilst the other collected the van keys. They finished their morning tea/coffee shared some last laughs with team mates and headed off for what should have been just another day.
In around three hours time they would respond to routine call. What happened next is painfully etched in my memories, and the memories of many colleagues across greater Manchester and beyond.
Today, at 10:53 I’ll gather again with friends and colleagues to remember Nicola and Fiona. Today’s event is even more poignant given it takes place just a week after we laid Matt and Tom to rest.
If you can, at 10:53, take a minute to pause and reflect on just how unpredictable and fragile life can be and how fortunate we are that we still have people like Nicola, Fiona, Matt and Tom willing to put on a uniform, set aside their anxieties and fears and step into the unknown on our behalf.
We are in Preston on the police motorbikes today. It seems some people still don't know private e-scooters are illegal to use on roads or public places. These 2 e-bikes were also not legal for use. https://t.co/WURdr4EIlh gives info on legal EPAC's. #OpCenturion#ASB
