Not Since 9/11

That's what they are calling the tragedy that took place last night. Nothing like this since 9/11. So how does one cope with the news? How does one get past the feelings like they've been raped, and they weren't even a victim? How does one look at their friends and neighbors without wondering who will be next? I remember September 11, 2001. It was a tragic and horrific day in history. Thousands of people lost their lives. The newscasters would end their nightly program, Good night and God bless. It was a time when our nation came together to face that tragedy and look for loved ones and gave their all, including their blood. Now we have another tragedy. One that hit those who do their best to protect the citizens of this country. I know there has been a lot said about police brutality, but we are not allowed to take matters into our own hands. It's against the law, the law those officers swore to uphold and protect. Do they make mistakes? Yes. Are they perfect? No. Do you make mistakes? Are you perfect? It's time to come together once again. It's time to stop trying to blame someone for what happened, and start helping. The saying is: If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. I don't want to be part of the problem. I want to be part of the solution, and part of that solution is to fall on our knees and pray for the men and women who decided to protect us and our loved ones. They wear uniforms, and yes, they carry a gun. One thing we forget is that they made a pledge an oath to die for you and me if they needed to. Those officers were doing their duty. They were defending the citizens of Dallas and doing their best to get to the people who were behind the tragedy. Several of them lost their lives in the performance of their duty. It was a sad day and one that will not be forgotten. Thank you for reading.
