This made me cry.

Yeah, that's actually what I meant--step one, want to cry; step two, wish you could have gone there too. Step three, I'm still pondering. Originally Posted by KnottedYet

I have patients who are police officers. One of them dealt with Monfort. Then the Lakewood situation, which hit them all so hard. Flying back to Seattle on Monday the plane was utterly full of California officers on their way to the memorial. It was hard not to cry on the plane. Originally Posted by salsabike

Step three for me might be telling them how grateful I am for the work they do, if I can manage to do it without crying."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson

Yeah. You can also email SPD through their website. This is what I did after Tim Brenton was murdered by Monfort, with the request that it go out to everyone, or all precincts, or whatever they can manage.
I couldn't agree with you more, on all of it. I think many people feel that way."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude.
