Execution
Today, four officers were killed in Parkland, Washington, by a single assailant who entered a coffee shop and opened fire. The officers were all just sitting, working on their laptops, and minding their own business, when the gunman came in and shot them. Nobody else in the shop was targeted or injured: it’s clear that this was an execution of law-enforcement officers by the lowest of the low to which a former human could descend.
As one who grew up in the law enforcement community, my heart is filled with sadness over this tragic loss. I hope that the assailant is found, and tortured painfully and slowly for hours before being given the death sentence in a court of law. My heart goes out to the members of those officers’ department, and their families, and I pray that they will find peace and safety amidst this horrific and tragic loss.
