Tommi Jones Kelley
\nOk, so EARLY this morning I was pumping gas in my patrol car (reason I look like a Hot Mess!)…& add it was pouring rain…
\nWhen this teenager I’ve never met before is standing right behind me & says, “ma’am, do u mind if I stand here behind you while u get ur gas?”
\nMy initial response was “and why?”…
\nHis reply, “to make sure You stay safe!”
\nFinished pumping my gas & he was still standing there, in the rain 😕.
\nHe then just walked off & started to get into the passenger side of a car & I asked the driver if she was his Mom & indeed she was. I told her\u00a0she has an amazing son & she said he wanted to make sure no one hurt me.
\nYes, I’m the one with the gun on my hip while he stood there empty handed, but he for sure had my “6” while my back was turned.<\/p>\n

With all the terror going on nationwide, this reassured me there are still some pretty awesome individuals out there!
\nThank you for ur concern Mckinley Zoellner.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One of Kelley’s co-workers, Harris SO Deputy Darren Goforth, was murdered a week and a half ago while pumping gas. \u00a0Texas is leading the nation with ten law enforcement fatalities so far this year. \u00a0It is a tough time for Lone Star LEO’s.<\/p>\n

Reading Deputy Kelley’s post really made me smile, especially after all the flak we have been enduring in the Media. \u00a0Good people like McKinley are out there. \u00a0It is important to be reminded that these are the folks we are sworn to protect and serve.<\/p>\n
