That clears up a lot. The officer was executed.
On another note, anyone who is local, please make it a point to honor the officer and department at his funeral procession.
Two years ago, my county lost a couple deputies who were ambushed. We stood on a freeway overpass along the procession route to honor one of them. (The other didn’t have a public ceremony)
A cop friend who was in the processional said he cried the whole way as he saw the massive support. It was a 40 mile processional with people lining the entire route.
An officer was also recently killed and we did the same. Another buddy who is a State Trooper joined us on the overpass and said several times how meaningful our support is.
It really brings a community together.
Around the Midlands, there is a yearly night of honor for law enforcement.
I have learned a lot.
