What a night for those of us working in the media. Our hearts go out to the fallen Officers family and Law Enforcement. It was completely surreal to see people running away from the gunfire and Police running towards it with weapons drawn. One thing that struck me as a great act of kindness was there were several people of different races, working together to move a baby out of a stroller to safety. Just minutes before these people were on different sides of the issues, but when push came to shove, color didn't matter and humanity did. I think we can all learn from this. Take a step back. Take a breath. Relax and realize we are all humans on this planet working together. Lets get along.
