R.I.P. Officers Juan Gonzalez and Brian Law

We live in an apartment complex that's in a cul-de-sac right off Shaw Ave. in Fresno, just a few blocks away from the Savemart Center (I've seen Michael Buble, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, David Crowder, etc., there)

This morning, as I was driving out of the apartment complex toward Shaw, I saw a Police SUV and thought "somebody is in trouble!"

Then I saw another Police car and thought "Ok, someone is really in trouble!"

As I got closer to Shaw and stopped behind a garbage truck and another car, I saw a third police car. And another one. That's when I knew this was something else. Several more drove by.

Then I saw a couple limos, two hearse, a couple more limos and several dozen motorcycle cops drive by. As the motorcycles drove by, I noticed there was one officer on a motorcycle in the left-hand turn lane directly in front of us who was saluting all these people while he blocked that left-hand turn lane.

Sometime around seeing the hearse and the man saluting these officers and hurting family members, I realized the hearse that drove by carried the two police officers who were killed in the line of duty last week in Kingsburg. (Read more about the accident here)

I just kept thinking how amazing it was to see this community of officers give their support and show their respect for these these two men who they probably considered their brothers.

It was an incredibly beautiful, calming moment that brought me to tears. I don't even know these men, but I am so glad I was there this morning. It was something I'll never forget.
