Thank you for sharing your mom's story Queenie.
My hats off to the PD for finding these guys so quickly. I figured they would when I read the comments of the mayor last night, especially his request for citizens to stay indoors while they searched. That said to me that they were on a mission and things might get hairy. And many thanks to you and Ryan Moore for seeing this through all night.
I'm relieved that they've made arrest and so saddened that Ofc's Tate and Deen, two men who tried to make right decisions in their life, would be killed for simply going to work. And why? What was so godawful important that these guys couldn't sit through a traffic stop? These criminals are outrageous and it's stunning to me that we, as a collective society, are not outraged by them. WE should expect more from our fellows, we should expect that they do not kill two men because they don't want to be inconvenienced or caught for some petty thing they've tried to get away with. And yet, again and again it is proven that we are not. We are ho-hum about it when a police officer is the one to die, some cretins even celebrating these actions IN PUBLIC, where anyone can read it! What does it say about us? That people would be cheerful about two police officers being shot to death at a traffic stop, and boldly express their gladness. Upside down and inside out, it really is.
Clearly a few hours sleep was not enough time for me stop being bothered by internet idiots.
