How to make a difference: Let's make sure the good cops keep on protecting and serving their fellow human beings

I did not know Ogden Police officer Nate Lyday, but I know this: In the midst of the sort chaos, unrest and turmoil that has me, personally, struggling with genuine feelings of anxiety, I am comforted by the idea that there are brave men and women who run toward danger while others are running the other way from it. Even in today's divisive climate ... ESPECIALLY in today's divisive climate.

Officer Lyday, whose funeral took place yesterday in Ogden, Utah (a city that has come to mean so much to me), protected and served. And he gave his life doing so, responding to a May 28 domestic disturbance call. He was only 24 years old.
