11-year-old hits Cheyenne on mission to hug cops in all 50 states

There were more hugs than usual Friday morning at the Wyoming State Capitol. But these weren’t just any old hugs; they were hand-delivered by 11-year-old and Louisiana native Rosalyn Baldwin, who is traveling across the county to show her support for local law enforcement agencies.

Her goal is simple – to spread love through hugs with law enforcement in all 50 states – but it clearly meant a lot to the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office, the Cheyenne Police Department, the Pine Bluffs Police Department, Wyoming Highway Patrol and the Wyoming State Parks law enforcement officers Friday morning.

“I was hurt. Before all of this started there was a shooting,” said Rosalyn Baldwin. “I didn’t know them but it seemed like I knew them in my heart. It was a police officer in Louisiana that was shot.”

So said 11-year-old Rosalyn, has been traveling around the United States with her family after mending a wounded heart and getting called on a mission from God.

“I was sitting in my room playing with my toys like usual and I heard a voice calling my name. I looked around and to my surprise there is no one there calling me. So I got up and asked everyone in my house if they were calling my name. And my dad walked up to me and said it was Jesus. So after that, I got to talk to Him and he told me that I have this mission,” Rosalyn said...

Baldwin said her daughter’s desire to hug police officers is not fueled by anything political, including Black Lives Matter. “We are Americans of African descent,” Angie Baldwin said, “But we are really Christians first, and then Americans second.”
