Not all heroes wear capes. But some have microphones that don’t work.

She is a hero and the kind of officers the department need and the kind every city, county, and state need in their department to replace those who don't deserve to be in uniform.

Why is media quiet about who the shooter was? does not fit the rhetoric. ;-) Defund police ha? GOD BLESS this hero!
