Anyone as inspired as I was at the massive Kiddush Hashem today in Lkwd where thousands of frum jews lined up for 11 blocks to show appreciation and respect to those keeping us safe in this Medina shel Chesed. Someone told dh that in his beis medrash of 1000, 85% was empty and attending - the roshei yeshiva put up a sign that they should all attend to show their respect.
I saw this comment on yeshivaworld:
"A police officer from Virginia asked me today if the officer shot and killed was Jewish since there were more Jews than non-Jews.
He was shocked to hear that we all came just to pay our respects to the men who keep our streets safe."

Wow that is beautiful to hear. Bh we made a kiddush hashem today.

It was amazing. On my way to work today the streets were covered with police cars from all different counties and cities. Nice for everyone to pay proper respect to this respectful and lawful officer.

Such a tragedy. Crying

He was an excellent police officer, and a pleasant person all around. He will be missed.
