quote:What price do we pay when one is sacrificed?
We don't pay. We get fleeced, robbed of a human being who decided to make his life's work protecting each one of us.
The fact that Officer Thor Soderberg, who was killed with his own weapon Wednesday during an apparent robbery outside a South Side police facility, died a hero is little consolation to his family and friends.
Our hero: The life of a cop
And a letter from a street cop in response...
quote:We do what we did yesterday and today and will do tomorrow even in the light of another officer being murdered. We put on the uniform, go to roll call and into the street to serve and protect. We will think of Soderberg and other officers who have passed on but won't lose our focus because we still have to serve and protect.
