In the past couple of weeks, we have all been witness to a series of violent attacks that has rocked the very foundation of an institution that we as citizens critically depend on: the horrific and cold-blooded murders of 5 of our state’s brave, courageous, and indispensable police officers. All too often in our society, we forget to realize the extreme amount of pressure and danger that police officers willingly subject themselves to day in and day out in the name of safety, order, justice, and the greater good. Sometimes, people tend to think of police officers as protectors that are separate from the rest of society and forget that they’re actually protectors in our society. But they’re also more than that; they are friends, neighbors, and valued members of our community. The police risk their lives every day for us, and it’s time that we members of the community to do something for our fallen brothers and sisters and their families.
