End Of Watch

Four Oakland police officers were shot today. The first two officers were shot during a traffic stop. The second two officers were shot while in pursuit of the suspect. Three of the officers died. One is critically wounded. The suspect is dead. My heart just breaks. Completely. I have no words. My heart just hurts.

Godspeed, Sgt. Mark Dunakin, Sgt. Ervin Romans, Sgt. Daniel Sakai, and Officer John Hege. Officer Hege, I'm praying that you recover from your wounds.

Hi Glorybelle,
Yes. It is a war zone in Oakland, a serious problem that needs to be addressed by the community.

I am with you. Few words can express the profound loss here.
You asked about Jack Marden. I assume you mean the father. I saw him in a grocery store the other day and he was doing great. I have no idea what his sons are doing.
Take care,
Cheri
