Rawlins Gilliland says:
Every time a Dallas Police officer is killed, I think , "What a senseless horrible tragic loss." The neighborhood cop killed in Oak Cliff a couple years ago that was mourned in every business window I saw in the Bishop Arts, etc. He mattered to them. The last one who was in the Clinton motorcade and died on his motorcycle. But this one is, if possible, the final straw. Because the people who killed him didn't care. And the people who lost him truly cared.
Chief Kunkle's pain was as clear as this fallen man's honor; he said his friend, in his eyes, was 'invincible'. That the love between him and his wife was 'magical'. Those are the kinds of words that good men use to describe heroes. We cannot allow our children to be so disposable that they grow up to not care. How much you bet the murderer's heroes were the kind of people who kill ours? God help us. Rest in peace.
