I dont usually publicly comment on this topic but, this one hits harder than usual.
After graduation, this uniform only has two uses:
1. Interviews for promotion.
2. Days like today.
Lately, it's been out for the 2nd reason far too often.
I can't count the number of times I've laid awake, waiting and praying for the "We're done. I'm safe." text, knowing he willingly went through the door first.
I know how lucky I am that I've always received that text. Today, my heart aches for the families who didn't.
How much longer is the system they serve going to fail them? How many more will be lost before those making the decisions realize something is very wrong?
These aren't just officers. They are husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, friends. They are people who put on a uniform and accept risks most of us could never imagine, all to protect communities they love.
Today, my thoughts and prayers are with Marc's family, friends, and colleagues who face the unimaginable. May you find strength in one another, and may you know you are surrounded by a family that grieves alongside you. 🖤💙🖤
To every police family waiting for that text, hugging your loved one a little tighter tonight, and carrying the weight that comes with this life—we stand together.
