My brother (Robert Hull) was a retired GRPD. The police department has a special meaning to our family. The loss of one is a tragedy for us all. We will pray for his parents for their loss and for his daughter in understanding this vile act.

The violence has to stop! We have become a society that has to hold persons responsible. We have no fault divorce, no fault car insurance and there are too many single parent homes. We need to bring back the family values that were once present in our society, only then will the violence stop and we will be able to live as neighbors and friends again.
My prayers are with Officer Kozminski's family.
