...
today was a very weird day at work... a very strange day in general. i had no idea why there was so much traffic, both on the freeway northbound, and on the surface streets crosstown.
once i got to work, i soon found out. we received a phone call from the CHP office, asking for a cambro for the briefing about today's "fallen officer." i almost dropped the phone. i know every member of the graveyard shift out of that office. once the man on the phone told me who it was, and that he worked the day shift, i felt relieved because i didn't really recognize the name.
when i got off of work, my mom was watching the news in the family room. i rewound it to the story and as soon as the picture came up, i gasped. i knew him. i know him. i am sad. one of my mom's students said, in response to hearing of a CHP officer's death, "good." my mom doesn't know what to say to her. i told her, "tell him he was one of my daughter's friends. she knew him. and she knew he didn't deserve this."
