Stupid avoidable tragedy. Police Officers are paid to put their lives on the line. Not the lives of Citizens. It's a higher calling of Duty. Sacrifice. Honor. Courage. I see the opposite here. An American Citizen gunned down because a Police Officer refused to put his life on the line and protect the very citizens he is entrusted to protect and serve.

Now we are all to believe that it was the fault of the Universe for creating darkness.

A Badge does not give one of honor, courage, sense of duty and pride any thought whatsoever of shooting an American so he can go home at night. A Badge on a true Police Officer, just like a Rifle in the hands of an Honorable Soldier, should give one pause to make sound decisions and always try to do what's right. A higher calling. Duty. Pride. Courage. Honor. Sacrifice.

I think those words are foreign to a few of our Police Officers. Losing an honorable Police Officer is a Tragedy. Losing a Law Abiding American Citizen at the hand of a Police Officer is an abomination.
