Frankort State Journal. April 26, 2024.
Arrest warrants must be served to alleged criminals if society is going to function. But there is no guarantee of safety for police officers knocking on their doors. The grim risks came into stark relief Monday when four law enforcement officers were killed while serving an arrest warrant in Charlotte, North Carolina. The tragedy underscores the limits of the best-trained police officers and the unpredictability of the people being served. Thor Eells is executive director of the National Tactical Officers Association. He says police can be 100% correct in everything they do. But they only control half the situation. Suspects are responsible for the rest.
President Joe Biden is detouring to Charlotte, North Carolina, to meet with the families of law enforcement officers shot to death on the job. The visit comes just a week after he sat down with the grieving relatives of two cops killed in Upstate New York. It is expected to take place on Thursday with little fanfare behind closed doors, because the White House aims to respect the privacy of grieving families and avoid the appearance of using grief for political purposes.

Duane Eddy, a pioneering guitar hero whose reverberating electric sound on instrumentals such as “Rebel Rouser,” “Forty Miles of Bad Road" and “Cannonball” helped put the twang in early rock ‘n’ roll and influenced George Harrison, Bruce Springsteen and countless other musicians, has died at age 86. With his raucous rhythms, and backing hollers and hand claps, Eddy sold more than 100 million records worldwide, and mastered a distinctive sound based on the premise that a guitar’s bass strings sounded better on tape than the high ones.
