any time someone has a bad ending like this and I mean, it’s a very rare case, but I can’t refute it. I mean, I’m a human that hurts when I see someone suffer. When I see anyone’s family suffering. I got it. This family has been through a terrible ordeal. I don’t wish this on anyone. So from my heart to theirs, what more can I say? I mean, is that good enough to say I’m sorry? I didn’t know that it was my heart that bled for these people. I am a person. I have family. If this turns out to be exactly the way things were written, it’s horrible. So my heart goes out to family. I wish them nothing but comfort and from their friends and family. I trust that they are getting the help they need from the community potentially based on faith from others who can help them. So that’s to my heart, this is for whatever reason, when we get into law enforcement situations like, okay, someone’s dead. This is serious stuff. I’m interested as sheriff. The big thing that I want, I want people to see from my point of view politely. Gentleness, compassion, concern for law enforcement are supposed to serve and protect, not only to protect, not just to arrest, not only to put people in jail, but we must also Caring for people. I swear again, these are the people in pre-trial detention who have been sworn to care. Same goes for family. Yes, I have nothing but my deepest sympathies for their loss, and it is heartbreaking.
