Fallen Heroes

The officers slain by the thug Lovelle Mixon are true heroes for having put themselves in the line of fire every day.

The funeral service for Sgts. Mark Dunakin, 40, of Tracy, Erv Romans, 43, of Danville, Daniel Sakai, 35, of Castro Valley, and motorcycle Officer John Hege, 41, of Concord, was attended by the state's highest elected officials and at least 10,000 police officers, and came at the end of perhaps the saddest week in Oakland Police Department history.

It's as wonderful to see the local, statewide and national support for these men as it was revolting to see people out protesting the Oakland PD in support(?) of Mixon.
