These incidences are happening so much today. People riding by and shooting on a busy interstate or in neighborhoods or at businesses. It is scary to think about going to a large city because you don't know if you will come back home that day. These things do happen in a small town or rural area, but it is a rare happening. Thanks for sharing this one with us and reminding us of what modern life or life without God has brought. Keep on writing. Sara K

Excellent social message. And the police have to protect all human life.. As a parent, human being, and grandparent, I would niot take achild to a parade. Our cuntry has illegals from jails amd mental institutions , i am not anti- police..Police get killed regularly, as IF they intentionally are killers, parades are on TV, they are unsafe for kids or any living being, they attract killers, condolences go to all., Who lstst lives.

'Nearby children play' -- chilling and all-too-common these troubled days...

Yes the procession for the last of four officers shot by active shooter is today. A total of 8 cops were shot and four died. It made the national news. Happened in a neighborhood in east Charlotte North Carolina. So sad 8 kids lost their dads!
