If that doesn't make you cry your not human.

[@COWBAYOUBADASS]

No, I am. Cops aren't.

[@Brandon-qn1ws]

Thank you Mr Policeman

[@mandcbruce]

So often after a tragedy, we don't know what to say or do. I will try to remember that even a simple gesture, like Madeline's holding up her sign, can be very meaningful. Terry's death was tragic, but it wasn't the end. REALLY BEAUTIFUL STORY. Thank u❤

🥺🥺🥺🥺 She was anointed to do this

The power of respect, love and hope for memories. Be safe all law offices.

[@COWBAYOUBADASS]

They need more stories like this but just exclude the whole part with the old lady and the little girl. Back the blue until it happens to you.

Some connections are visible, others are deep within.
