Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Salt Lake City Police Department

While there is a current thread about a SLC detective who shows extreme ignorance and contempt for a commoner. That is not what this thread and my comments are about.

My comments are about a few officers from the Salt Lake City Police Department who went to a motel owned by the Huntsman Cancer Research Center, with their K9 Blood Hound and entertained/distracted my 2 grandchildren, son and daughter in law who would spend her last month on earth at Huntsman.

Through a chance encounter at a toy store, an officer talked to my son (don't know the particulars) but I do know my sons response to a question "why are you in Salt Lake" do you have the time? My daughter in law and son had been life flighted from Reno after a sizure and stroke due to chemo and some cutting edge amino therapy, they had traveled to Huntsman 14 times for treatment.

My son indicated the young officer was about in tears after their encounter. Not long after, this officer and 5 or 6 others came to the hotel with their blood hound and spent about an hour of their time playing, talking and distracting all from current events that they were involved in. I am eternally greatful for these Officers for the kindness shown to my family!

While this thread was to be about the fine Police Officers I want to include Huntsman Doctors, Nurses, Chaplins, Social Workers and if anybody knows Jody who orcastrated the zoo trip the Aquarium animal visit to the hospital please tell her pa pa Ken, said she should be a saint!

Sounds like some good folks. Sorry for your loss.

The image of the blood hound playing with your family has me smiling here. I'm sorry for your family's loss.

Isn't it amazing how the stink from one arsewhole can overwhelm the good from a thousand extraordinary men and women?

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you for relaying that story, Knives. Sorry tor your family's loss, but I am glad to hear that they were in good care with the medical facility and the police in the area.

Great post, knivesforme! It's easy to forget the greater reality when we concentrate on a small aspect of it.

It is certainly true that no matter how attractive the bowl of punch, all the attention is on the turd.

Condolences on your loss, sir.

It is very classy of you to bring this to light bearing in mind the grief from which you are suffering. I am grateful for you and those people from Salt Lake City.

Sorry to hear of your family's tragic loss. And I too appreciate hearing about the fine people who helped you and yours through that time. There should be a special place in heaven for nurses ànd hospital staff who go above and beyond to ease our pain and suffering in our most vulnerable times.
