So sad that this can occur in a nation dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with the unalienable right to live, with a Constitution whose supreme stated purpose is to “secure the Blessings of Liberty to Posterity,” and which explicitly and imperatively forbids the killing of any innocent person, all of which every officer of government, at every level, in every branch, swears to God to support and defend.
That is clearly their duty, Tom.
