know this will infuriate some, but perhaps we would be able to grasp the enormity of some tragedies like this if we had more information. But only if we process that information and absorb the scope and full impact. I’m beginning to wonder if we’ve lost that ability from our collective souls as a society.

But I believe it’s important to know, on this day when the four slain members of the Lakewood, Washington Police department are laid to rest, that even during the final moments of their lives, the final acts of these four souls was to think of protecting and serving others...

To protect and serve was their commitment. And they did no less.

I hope this gets news coverage. I also hope Fred Phelps and his cadre of hate leave this town alone.

The News coverage here in the Northwest is unbelievable. With family ties myself to Police and Fire departments here in Washington it is touching to see how much attention this is getting. We have office areas at work that are decorating their areas to honor of the officers. I wish I could post photos.

Check this out
The Blue Light Project. A way of honoring these fallen Officers. Great photos.

I for one have placed four blue Christmas lights in a diamond in a window facing the street. God rest those four officers, and comfort their loved ones. This is so terribly sad.
