Allo Hello awesome men and women everywhere! How was your weekend? Awesome, Great, Good, Meh...I would have to select B) Great! as my answer. Nothing too exciting like a road trip down to Miami (man that was fun!) just a chill weekend with daily events that had my attention. Good times and even got some sleep as an extra bonus! #Winning.
Unfortunately, it was a crazy weekend up in NYC with the tragic event of two NYC Police Officers shot "execution style" in their own cruiser by a cowardly vigilante. No call for help, not even a yell from the shooter before he fired. Just went up to the police cruiser and fired; and as a shady extra bonus, the shooter took his own life moments later.
Both officers were pronounced dead upon arrival at the local hospital.
The guy said in an Instagram post that he wanted to live forever as a gangster and yet at least in my view he will be remembered as a cowardly piece of shit. (Pretty sure I'm not the only one with that thought) Now I understand the main reason this guy did this was because of the events recently involving police using excessive force which led to two unfortunate deaths...but this is definitely not the way to proclaim "justice being served".
From my perspective, I understand the protests that have happened around America recently. Police should be held to a higher standard because well they whether you like 'em or hate 'em are here to serve us. It's not just #BlackLivesMatter or #WhiteLivesMatter...EVERYONE'S LIFE MATTER.
I personally know a lot of police officers and happy to call some of them my friends. I'm very proud of those police officers that lace up their boots, press their uniform and put on that badge and do work every single day representing their department the right way. Yes, their are some dirty cops out there but there are dirty people in every aspect of work if you really take a closer look.
This is the United States of America; the best damn country on the planet. Period. It's not just the police that need to do better, we need to do better as a Nation. We all have flaws and the power to mold them into a positive. Can we get past these dark times? Yes we can! But we can't do it alone...we have to get along and work together to finding a solution. No matter if your white, black, brown, purple, green or magenta; we ALL MATTER.
My prayers and condolences are with the family and friends of the two fallen NYPD officers; the ordeal is much harder on the heart especially with Christmas just around the corner.
Nation do work today and spread some love wherever you may find yourself at. Plus it's GAMEDAY at my location so that alone has giving me all of the Monday Motivation to make today an awesome day.
Have A Great Monday and Keep Doing The Damn Thing.
And the Damn Thing is being Awesome!
Believe That!
148...!
