Lament


Feeling bad about Ashley Guindon, who died on her first street shift as a police officer while she was responding to a domestic violence call.

As I have mentioned before, I am sincerely thankful for people who are willing to come help us when we are in danger, even at risk to their own lives. I'm so sorry, Ashley Guindon. And I'm so sorry about you, woman she was trying to save whose name I don't know.
