gunned down simply because he was a law enforcement official. thanks so much. i want you to listen here to what harris county sheriff ron hickman said yesterday. our system of justice absolutely requires law enforcement be present to protect our community. so any point when the rhetoric ramped up to calculated cold-blooded assassination of police officers, it has gone too far. we ve heard black lives matter. why don t we drop the qualifier and say lives matter? and take that to the bank. saying they believe he was shot because he was wearing that uniform, but they say they can t get a motive out of the suspect they have in custody.
