    Why did we not know about this before, it could’ve been a big Kidush Lubavitch if more Anash would be there.

    Sad and tragic.
    The results of a violent and materialistic society.
    The outcroppings of a society where the leaders have no wisdom. The dregs of a society which doesn’t observe the 7 Noahide Law.
    May the ‘leaders’ gain wisdom.

    the officers wear white gloves as part of their ceremonial uniform.

    I was there and I was happy to see about 10 community members showing respect to Officer Timoshenko.It would have been nice if this was publicized more so that our community could have had the chance to have more people attend.

    I am usually the first person to complain when the cops do something wrong . It is only fair that we as a community thank the cops and show respect when they do something right.

    Officer Timoshenko is a hero.He sacrificed his life protecting our community.May Hashem console his famiily and bless his memory.
