"I’m tired physically and emotionally. Disappointed
In some family, friends, and officers for some
reckless comments but hey what’s in your heart is
in your heart. I still love you all because hates takes
too much energy but I definitely won’t be looking at
you the same. Thank you to everyone that has
reached out to me or my wife it was needed and
much appreciated. I swear to God I love this city
but I wonder if this city loves me. In uniform I get
nasty hateful looks and out of uniform some
consider me a threat. I’ve experienced so much in
my short life and these last 3 days have tested me
to the core. When people you know begin to
question your integrity you realize they don’t really
know you at all. Look at my actions they speak
LOUD and CLEAR. Finally I personally want to send
prayers out to everyone directly affected by this
tragedy. These are trying times. Please don’t let
hate infect your heart. This city MUST and WILL
get better. I’m working in these streets -- so any
protester, officers, friends, family, or whoever, if
you see me and need a hug or want to say a prayer.
I got you.”
