Lakewood Police Officers Memorial
Posted by Kyle L. Varnell (+3745) 14 years ago
I've been watching the Memorial Procession for the four Lakewood Police Officers and it is very emotional. I've had to turn away a number of times. I understand that there are thousands of officers from all over the world. Specifically there's 100 Boston police officers that came out here on their own dime to honor their fallen brethren.

I'm just looking at this and there has to be at least 1,000 members of the RCMP present. This must make the families of the four slain murdered officers feel some degree of comfort that so many people care about people they never knew.

I hope that people remember this incident (and the Oakland and Pittsburgh shootings in the spring) the next time they feel the urge to call a police officer a "facist" or make a juvenile doughnut joke.

Rest in peace, Sgt. Renninger, Ofc. Owens, Ofc. Griswold and Ofc. Richards. Shalom.
