Well, another day has passed and I still don't know what to say.

Still sad, Still broken.

At this point, I'm not sure that I will know what to say. How to properly articulate it all. But I don't have to. I've gotten so many replies and comments from others in my profession saying that they are feeling the same way and don't know what to say either.

I said this on my Twitter account, but I'll say it here:
This thin gold line will stand behind the thin blue line all night, every night, every day, and will do everything I can to support my blue brothers and sisters.
My heart is still broken. It's broken for the five Dallas officers and their families - blood and blue.
Broken for the 53 other officers that have lost their lives in the line of duty this year alone.


But I think that they would all want the rest of us to continue holding the line, and fighting the good fight. Good will prevail. 

So I will. We will.

In their honor, we will continue on, and serve our communities and keep the good safe from the bad that exists.

So now, officers - keep your heads on a swivel, watch the hands, and check on your beat partners.
Dispatchers - status check that officer, be gracious especially when it's most difficult to, and answer that phone with a smile.
Citizens - be kind to one another.

Remember, revere, and resume radio traffic.

I'm still sad - I feel like these are dark days for all of us but especially law enforcement.

    A twenty-something dispatcher taking 911 calls, yapping on the radio, and dealing with the general public - with a mad case of headset hair. Not quite so jaded yet, but not naive as I once was. Losing my soul one call at a time.

    This reflects my views and not the view of my employer, etc.  If you have a problem with this, I suggest using the back button.
