Traffic will be bad in Seattle this morning.
One thousand (maybe more) police and emergency vehicles will participate in a procession from the University of Washington in the northeast sector of the city all the way to the Space Needle in the "center" of the city. Really, it's not that far. In fact, the line of vehicles may take up the entire route without even moving.
I mean it, traffic will be a mess. And that is just fine with me.
The procession is to honor and memorialize a Seattle police officer who was ambushed and shot to death while he sat in his patrol unit training a rookie.
Not cool.
This cold blooded murder has left a family with out a husband and a father. Also, not cool.
It has put fear and ill ease in the very people who protect us. Not to mention their loved ones.
Would you be able to sleep at night if your wife, husband, son or daughter was a cop?
So yes, my heart is heavy for the fallen officer's family, but I also hold a silent vigil for those that are still on the street. -still just a phone call away when we need urgent help.
I imagine these are tough times. Thank you for your service today and your continued strength in the weeks and months that follow.
