Let us review the days events.

Today some lives got blown away.

Why? the answer is in the act.

So many dreams were lost that day.

 

Many soldiers know the score.

The only difference is, what we deplore.

Hate rears its head and kills the dreamers.

They were like you or me, just dressed in blue.

 

It is their loved ones who now march alone.

Carrying an unseen wound of loss.

Let peace be theirs at the end of day.

Easy to say when the loss isn't yours.

Ok. I realize it may not be popular to say this anywhere because the kkk . Israel. And black lives matter are all groups that enjoy stratospheric popularity, but the proven fact is the dallas shootings were a conspiracy and a staged false flag as we in the theorist community call it. The first false flag dates back to nero and the burning of rome. Micah johnson was a patsy like lee oswald. The actual gunman was jeff harris of kkk . Its a cover up. Like jfk

Peace officers choose a life of hazardous duty. They wear a firearm, and sometimes, bulletproof armor, because they know that their very uniform is a target and they sometimes, while generally, infrequently, they encounter bad people that they need their firearm to subdue. It's a life of rather boring work, punctuated by occasional high drama.

Of all the people that died that day, for many reasons, some heroic, but most not. Those five, like so many others, died because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. The good news is, based on the facts, three times more officers lost their lives in 1975 than last year. I call that progress, not a deteriorating society.
