There is nothing we can say at this point that hasn’t already been said. There have been multiple cops shot in Dallas, Texas. Today is easily the most tragic day for Law Enforcement throughout this country. With a president dividing with political fervor and a media ruthlessly hunting for ratings, we have lost 5 heroes. 5 people. 5 families that will never see their loved ones again. All in the name of what? A racially fueled hate group? Terrorists? Why?
