Sunday Bloody Sunday

Last Thursday in Miami, two police officers were fatally shot by an individual wanted for murder. The suspect was shot and killed by another officer.

Sunday, an Indianapolis police officer was shot and critically wounded during a routine traffic stop. A suspect is in custody.

Also on Sunday, in Lincoln City, Oregon a police officer was shot and critically wounded during a routine traffic stop. The suspect is still at large.

Again on Sunday, in Port Orchard, Washington two sheriffs deputies were wounded in a gun battle with a shooter in a Wal-Mart. The gunman was killed.

And again on Sunday, an individual walked into a police station in Detroit, Michigan and opened fire. Four officers were wounded before the shooter was killed. All four officers are expected to recover.

This morning in St. Petersburg, Florida two police officers were shot and killed by an individual on whom they were attempting to serve an arrest warrant. A sheriffs deputy was wounded. The suspect was killed.

Now is a very good time to pause and reflect on the people we serve who themselves serve the people.

And thank them.
