It’s always tough to read these, though I think it is important to have them. My thoughts go out to their families.
There was another tragedy yesterday, especially sad after reading yet another awesome spiral note, which was about Rocket. In Alameda Ca, Billy, a K 9, was shot during a robbery in progress in an unfortunate circumstance by another officer.
