Rest in Peace, Police Officer Omar Edwards
Today was the Home Going Service for Officer Omar Edwards. I pray his death was not in vain. We all chanted change...it is long overdue. My heart is so heavy, as so many times before. Could have been my son, nephew or child I watched grow up who was victimized and then a story fabricated to cover the cold hard facts. It happens every day, just this time, they didn't recognize one of their brethren. Yet a tale woven to protect the guilty just doesn't add up with a shot to the back. Please let this be one that didn't die in vain.
