America's Most Wanted is holding their annual All-Star awards, and I want to ask all of you to click the above link and vote for a cop from our local region who deserves the award, and a community (both law enforcement and public) that desperately needs a little boost.
On September 23, 2008, Ofc. Richard Bowes responded to Patrick McDonald's request for backup on a car stop. Before Bowes got there, McDonald was murdered by the subject he was stopping. The gunman was attempting to flee, when Bowes arrived and began to chase him down.
Bowes got shot in the pelvis, and the scumbag came back, standing over Bowes and reloading his weapon to take a second cop's life that night. But Richard Bowes, shot, bleeding, still had some fight left in him. He pumped five rounds into that piece of shit and put him in hell for all eternity.
Richard Bowes is still out of work. He was Officer of the Year in 2006, and Officer of the Month on fifteen separate occasions.
Now, I want us to help him receive this award as well. Start voting, and do it every day. I'll appreciate it, the cops will appreciate it, and we can help make honor a cop who more than deserves it. Deadline is April 1st, but we can vote every day.
Thanks for voting, and thank you, Officer Bowes.

Man I wish I had caught up on all of this alot sooner! I would have voted for him every single day. How did the whole thing turn out? Did he win and recover fully? Hopefully he knows that everything he does is appreciated and I'm happy to know that thanks to him there is one less scumbag in the world!

You can vote once a day from EACH email account/address you have. For example, if you have 3 different accounts, that means you can vote three times today, once from each address.
