What can you say to a 13 year old boy….

…whose father was murdered for the sole reason of being an NYPD cop?

I’m trying to think of something.

But there really is nothing you can say.

I had heard on the radio that the father, Rafael Ramos,  was working overtime to get his son something special for Christmas when he was partnered with Officer Liu – both murdered.

NY Post article is here.

His 13 year old son, Jaden, wrote the following Facebook entry:

“Today I had to say bye to my father. He was their for me everyday of my life, he was the best father I could ask for. It’s horrible that someone gets shot dead just for being a police officer. Everyone says they hate cops but they are the people that they call for help. I will always love you and I will never forget you. RIP Dad.”

There are evil people in the world…

Think what NYC – and everywhere else – would have been like without those who put their lives on the line every day for the safety of others.
