Trooper Charles Clinton Black

My name is Dennis Cullen and I am a retired NYPD Lieutenant. To the family of Trooper Black....I am profoundly sorry that you have been victimized yet again....all these years later.. while simply trying to honor your...OUR... fallen hero. I have witnessed terrible loss in my years with the NYPD and it pains me greatly to see the circumstances in which your family finds itself today. Trooper Black gave his life protecting our way of life....our hopes and dreams for what we may realize in the pursuit of happiness....for what we may become as a nation...all this is what he put his life on the line for.......and so his family might realize a better tomorrow....you should not have to go through this....you have all paid a horrific price for your country...for your fellow man. But please, DO NOT apologize, DO NOT feel in the least bit responsible or guilty or empathetic to those who would disgustingly twist your profound loss and the sacrifice of an honorable man for a political statement or because of their misguided beliefs and opinions.
if you get a moment, please look up and read "on sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs" by Lt Col Dave Grossman. I hope it will help you. Trooper Black was a sheepdog, and did an outstanding job protecting his herd. May God bless your whole family and may you take peace and comfort in knowing that you have a warrior angel looking over you every day. I am so sorry for your loss and the opening of wounds that im sure never really healed.

Lt Dennis Cullen
NYPD Ret.
