He should have kept his yap shut. This would have been appropriate, "I am particularly interested in this loss of life. When I have more facts at hand I will have comments to make. At this time I do not have enough information to address the issue. I will have no further comment at this time."
You actually buy into this comment, "I have spent much of my adult life working in law enforcement, working against murderers and those who commit violent crime, and that one officer lost his life is particularly tragic," Cruz said.
The loss of the other two people isn't as tragic?
That was just thoughtless. He was trying to be supportive of law enforcement but that isn't how you do that. This was not the quick decisive comment that was called for. Curz should have known better.
The loss of all innocent life is tragic. But those who lose their lives by purposely putting themselves in harm’s way to effect the protection of other innocents imitate Christ with their selflessness. They deserve special honor. Just as those who serve in the military deserve special honor.
