I am so sorry Fang. Thank you for your service and the greatest sacrifice one can. If only more humans were more like you Fang, it would be a better world. My heart goes out to you Officer Matt Herrera for the tragic loss of your partner and best buddy. May your heart heal. May justice prevail for the criminal and he gets what is coming for dirtbags like himself.
