I saw a brother on the force die before my eyes today...he got married.

Marriage is a weird thing.

I watched a brother die right before my eyes.  It was terrible to see.  I wanted to shoot him to take away the pain but the realization in his eyes of his fate made me understand that the time for that would come later.

They dynamics of the thing were wild.

The ladies were all joyful, damn near cheering like it was a football game.

The guys?  For us we saw another one of the real ones bite the dust.

I mourn not for the dead but for the walking dead.  I could see the light fading from his eyes as I wished him a fake congratulations and saw the cackling grin of his bride.

May God Have Mercy On His Very Soul.

His wife won't.
