However, people who make a choice not to be aware of current events, who are apathetic or who watch only certain networks would never have seen this tragic story as it occurred in North Carolina.

We, who are informed and those of us who 'Back the Blue' mourn for these Marshalls and for the Officers who were injured.

They were the Good Guys and we are absolutely keeping their families and fellow officers left behind, in our thoughts and our prayers.
Empathy. Compassion. Let's consider getting back to the Basics of understanding in this world of upheavel.
These were the good guys in a very fast, evolving, volitile situation.
It's all of our loss when we lose a dedicated, highly trained law enforcement officer, let alone several fine officers and it's all of our tragedy to deal with, whether we want to acknowledge it, or not.

NOT A SMALL STORY and I resent that implication. It is National News.
