I spent one night in a Mental Health facility of Saint Paul and there was a very nice African American male whom was the security person there. He was kind and I was safe. I was warm and not of any immediate danger. I wish rogger would of had the same safe opportunity that I did that evening. I am sorry to read such an horrible action occurred to a policemin whom caused the man no harm. Hate crimes towards policemin are not appreciated from me and I don't associate with anyone whom emmits hate to others for crimes they did not commit against them. Judgement and hatred towards random people is a weak way to think and act and I refuse to be near anyone whom behaves as such.

Thank you for your service. I appreciate your capability to be a peace officer to protect the city, the capitol of Minnesota from crime and corruption.

I send warm hugs to all of your family and good graceful thoughts to all of your fellow co-workers whom remember you to this day. Again. Thank you for your service to Our Community. You are appreciated.
