Appreciated and agreed
Now, ‘living with it’...another matter entirely.
That stated, no sane person seeks conflict. I’ve avoided situations because I have family. This officer was doing his job; it turned tragic. Horribly so, by the actions of a child. Police deserve our support until the bad apples - be they officers or administrative or city leaders - until they do not.
I cannot imagine the hell - professional & personal alike - this officer faces both the remainder of his career and his life and hope to never, ever experience either.
