Never Routine for our Police Officers

Our city and police force found out that what we take for granted with our law enforcement was shattered this week. On a routine arrest by the Hate Crimes Unit, the man inside the house fired 50 rounds at the officers killing one and wounding another before taking his own life as the house burned to ground around him. A police officer dying in the line of duty is a rarity in our city. The last one was 25 years ago. Our city is currently lined with blue ribbons in memory of this current victim.

I was taking pictures for The Sunday Challenge. This week it is taking pictures out of a moving vehicle. The officer appears to be about a routine task, but you never know what may happen.
