The news over the last couple of weeks has been quite disturbing. As if the continuation of the pandemic weren’t enough, we now have the flagrant violation of one’s sworn duty to protect and serve by murdering a man, George Floyd. This tragic incident has ripped the blinders off many and exposed the deep division that exists in our country. Both my mom and dad were police officers. My dad is likely turning over in his grave about the details of how Mr. Floyd was abused and died at the hands of peace officers. Having served as the first female police officer in Sugar Land, my mom is disgusted that another person who, if any of the complaints that have been brought up are true, should not have been a police officer and certainly should not be able to keep his position.
