Subject: How do these things happen?

A local police officer, Jose Torres, was struck and killed by a dump truck while working a traffic detail early this morning. His son is a good friend of mine. Details on the accident aren't clear yet, but our community has lost a wonderful man and a great officer. Please pray for his wife and two sons this week.

I think what was one of the worst things was that of course this was a highly public event and so to help support and protect the family, there was a police escort on duty outside the house all day. Several times while I was there, people they didn't know showed up claiming to be relatives or "best friends" of Officer Torres and had to be (in one case, almost forcibly) removed from the property by the officers there. Unfortunately, that still didn't prevent all the gawkers from driving by the house. What is wrong with people today?

[> Sadly, in the years of the Westboro Baptist Church and media covered funerals people have lost the reverence and respect for such a tragic loss. I'm so sorry for what happened, and I hope the the local PD is able to help keep these insensitive jerks away from your friends. -- Sorcha, 08:03:27 08/02/12 Thu
