Let us also think tonight of Officer Tina Hudrick. Let us think of her tonight with compassion, and understanding. Let us feel how she must feel tonight. There are no cold-blooded killers to lash out at. There are no cruel, assassins to smoke out, tackle, convict, and execute.
Tonight there is only pain.
Lots of it. It is okay to be hurt, and it is okay to be angry, but it is also okay to forgive, and it is definitely okay to cry. Tonight, I think I'm just going to have to be okay with crying. I am sure the angels up there waiting patiently for the righteous soul of Officer Jose Ortiz will feel the same way. Right now, as I type these words, 25th District Philadelphia Police Officer Jose Ortiz is hooked up to a ventilator.
