Prayers go out to law enforcement

Regarding Everett police officer Troy Meade: I have known this officer several years now and would like to say that he, just like anyone of us, isn’t perfect, and as a human, just like we all are.

He deserves some respect as he’s been a member of the Everett Police Department the past 12 years and they all have a difficult job at times.

So I just wanted to say my prayers go out to this officer as the future for him lies in the hands of the legal system. And I encourage all of those who are quick to judge to walk a mile in his shoes and to pray for all of our law enforcement officers out there.
