"I could feel hot, salty tears coming down my face. I sat and cried silently... I was scrunching myself up against the wall as far as I could. All of a sudden, someone from behind us taps on the guy’s shoulder..."
"We walked for 15 minutes more. We discover how much we have in common and yet how different we are. I asked him, ‘How are you holding up with all this?’ He was honest, so was I."
I watch this video and I get angry and I get sad and I clench my teeth and I hold back my tears and I ask, “Why!?” I say this not only as a police officer, but as a white man in America.
They told me to wait. To wait until... Until I saw a heartbeat on the ultrasound screen. Until I reached the second trimester. Until I knew baby was healthy.
"To those who are expecting, you’re allowed to be angry, and feel like this is completely unfair. You are not being selfish when you admit how sad you are. This is not a time to 'suck it up'."
