Rest in peace, Deputy Lindsey: Gilchrist County Sheriff's Deputy Taylor Lindsey and his partner, Sgt. Noel Ramirez were shot and killed Thursday while on duty. Our thoughts are with their families and colleagues.
What we know: bit.ly/2JZzdA7 ...
In this age of nuts I would quit the police department and tell people to save themselves. No reason these cops should die
This needs to stop...we can feel sorry all we want but untill the punishment is death for killing a police officer this is going to continue. These are young men with familys and friends who risk their lives EVERYDAY FOR US. They deserve more than this...😡
RIP May God wrap his arms around your family and friends and my they please feel peace.
I will cling to the old rugged cross and exchange it someday for a crown. Deputy Taylor Lindsey you now have your crown. Thank you for your unselfish service to protect us one and all. May the lord wrap your family and friends in his grace and mercy during this part of life’s journey. Rest In Peace Sir.
I am so sorry to hear of 2 more officers shot and killed . This does need to stop. My thoughts and prayers are with their family and friends.
Just so sad! Deepest condolences to the families and friends of these fallen officers.
So tragic..may you rest in peace. They protect us when are they gonna be protected.

Rest in peace, Sgt. Ramirez: Noel Ramirez was promoted to sergeant in November after 7 years with the Gilchrist County Sheriff's Office. His life was taken during the line of duty today. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues.
Story: bit.ly/2JZzdA7 ...
So sad. My Son is a police officer . I fear this everyday. May his famimy find comfort in this sad time.
This makes at least four officers killed in the past week because the good officers have been scared out of using their guns. They carry guns to protect themselves from this. Yet, most deputies are scared to use them because they’ll be persecuted by the same public they protect and serve. I pray for peace for their families.
Horrible , horrendous and cowardly act. the country should be outraged that this keeps happening in this country!!!
Thank you for your service. Rest in peace! Thoughts and prayers for the family ,friend and the Gilchrist police department.
RIP SGT. RAMÍREZ. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILY, COLLEAGUES AND THE COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORT YOU.

Thank you for your service. God be with your family.
I will cling to the old rugged cross and exchange it someday for a crown. Sgt Ramierez you now have your crown. Thank you for your unselfish service to protect us one and all. May the lord wrap your family and friends in his grace and mercy during this part of life’s journey. Rest In Peace Sir.
Prayers up. Just horrific. My young twin nephews are state troopers. It's frightening. I pray for them every day.
So much evil in this world...praying for this young man's family...Rest in Peace Sir!
RIP prayers for the family

Police say when the woman came home, she found the naked stranger in her tub, eating her Cheetos while taking a bath. bit.ly/2F4wthm ...
Are these stories for real?! Didn’t the intruder know they have shower facilities at truck stops?! At least she would have cleaned up her act! Lmao! 😂🤣😂
Naked is one thing, eating my Cheetos? That’s over the line!
If that happened to me I would just laugh I wouldn’t even be mad
Sometimes I wonder, is this a true story, did it really happen?? Wow!
Charlemagne T God is always right ... Florida people 😝
Oh my God, I've got Cheetos.
Lol depends if I would be mad or not. If he was single and wasn't planning on hurting me or stealing from me..its okay he at least would be bathing.
It ain't easy being cheesy!!!
This just wrong eating someone's Cheetos.
I got excited about hearing this on ‘Only in Florida’, but it’s Louisiana 😭
Kelly Glasser other than the Cheetos I thought this might be you! Lmao!!
Sounds like something Ken Kilpatrick would do except he would also say “Go to the fridge and get me a beer!”
Were there any Cheetos leftover cause if so I'll take em
You can do any thing but don't mess with my Cheetos
"A girl broke into her house and claims a man told her to do it." ✳️Didn't you learn about the bridge when you were a kid?🤔
Oh heck no not the cheetos lol
Guess whose not gonna be alone come Valentine’s Day !
I heard of a person breaking in just to play the piano, but never eat the Cheetos!
Wow I wonder if they to go make commercial out of this one as well naked man eating Cheetos taking a bath I bet you put the info light on you'll have orange on the guy. LOL
I had a dream just like that the other night... I’ll spare you the details.
Eating my Cheetos , oh hell no
It was Chad Williamson The Neighbors when he was a kid used to call us and complain that he was in their bathtub eating their Cheetos all the time.
Jajaja OMG it's funny but scary at the same time 😬
It's the Cheeto Bandido...lol
Jared I told you to get help with that Cheetos addiction.....

Drinks were great and service was excellent. However, this is NOT a place to bring your Vegan lover. The “stripped down” version of their dishes was entirely disappointing. All of the bread and most of the sauces contain dairy (why tho?😫) We had to go out to eat after dinner. 😂
