@Redfisher, my condolences for your loss. May your wife rest in peace now, safely home in the arms of the Lord, and may you find peace and strength and the continued support of loving family and friends as you continue your own journey here on Earth. Amen.
"...Each of these murdered officers has one thing in common: They lost their lives while protecting the lives of others. Some people say: 'Well, that's what cops signed up for, right? That's their job." Let me tell you something: Regular people sign up to be cops. They sign up for this job of protecting strangers, knowing there are inherent risks. But not one of us ever agreed to be murdered in an act of indefensible hate. Not one of us signed up to never return to our family or loved ones. So where are the demonstrations for this single mom, who cared for her elderly mother and her own three children? There is anger and sorrow, but where is the outrage? Because Miosotis was wearing a uniform? Because it was her job? I simply DO NOT accept that. Miosotis was targeted, ambushed and assassinated. She wasn't given a chance to defend herself. That should matter to every single person who can hear my voice in New York City and beyond...."- James O'Neill, Commissioner. City of New York Police Department AMEN

I believe that thought set up the Monroe Doctorine(or helped do it). Good for those two "Jim" Presidents.
@Redfisher I am so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in your best memories of your dear wife.
More from Mr. Murphy regarding LEO's: Your testimony in court is unnecessary until both you and your wife coordinate the same time off work together. Boy, if only I had a dime for every time that happened..
