Nothing good comes from a bullet that claims a dedicated police officer, stealing a husband from his wife and two children.
But as the pain turns to numb, and the numb turns to strength, a grieving Valley family will feel fortunate for two things:
They will feel lucky to be part of the Thin Blue Line, the special camaraderie that courses through all police officers and their families. And they will feel fortunate that Officer David Glasser was also part of the Big Red, a card-carrying member of the Bird Gang.
This is not a trivialization of tragedy.
