“I’m not surprised, but I’m very disappointed,” Mr. Catura said. “We have slain police officers that were intentionally targeted, they were assassinated. … He states that he’s sorry for the police officers and the families, but his actions in this case speak louder than his words.”

The group requested the blue lights in a letter to the White House, but presidential press secretary Josh Earnest said Wednesday, “That’s not something that we plan to do at this point.”

Likewise, it  crossed my mind, this website could have put up something for the Orlando attack.

But of course, an attack on the police is an attack on us all.
