Mike Kralicek Supports Mike Kennedy

For those keeping score at home, Mike Kralicek, the former Coeur d’Alene police officer who was critically wounded in the line of duty a few years back, supports Councilman Mike Kennedy 100 percent. I just got off the phone with Kralicek. He told me that he called Mike Kennedy, offering his help in any way because he considered the councilman to be a strong supporter of public safety. Said MikeK: “The police and fire departments supported him. That’s why I knew he was OK.” Carrie told me that her husband made the decision on his own to join M-Kennedy in going through the Coeur d’Alene Place neighborhood. Her daughter pushed her husband in a wheelchair, Carrie said, because M-Kralicek can’t walk far on his own due to the horrific injuries he suffered in the shooting. She denounced anyone who would circulate the rumor that the police union forced her husband to support M-Kennedy against his will. Said Carrie: “Some people act as though Mike doesn’t have a brain in his head to make his own decisions.”
