My prayers and thoughts are with the city of Oakland California, its police force, its residents and the family and friends of the slain officers.

This was a tragic event that took the lives of Sgt. Mark Dunakin, Officer John Hege, Sgt. Ervin Romans, and Sgt. Daniel Sakai; sworn peace offices who more than upheld their oath to protect and to serve; they gave it all.

The news outlets have covered the story well, so I will not pretend to have any additional information or commentary. Just let me say that I admire the men and women who put their very lives on the line, to help the rest of us lead normal lives in the safest possible environment. This tragedy was deeply felt across this great country. May god be with you all.
