A Call for Unity and Safety in Our Community
Community Members,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits, despite the challenging times we find ourselves in. Today, I write to you with a heavy heart, as we mourn the loss of an Oakland police officer who tragically lost their life while on duty. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the impact that gun violence can have on our communities.
I understand that there is a strain in our community when it comes to the relationship between law enforcement and the community. However, when a life is taken so tragically, it affects each and every one of us. It is during times like these, when tensions are high and hearts are heavy, that we must come together as a community.
I implore both community members and law enforcement officers to take a pause during these trying times. Let us prioritize safety and unity above all else. It is crucial that we work towards building bridges of understanding and trust between law enforcement and the community. By doing so, we can create a safer and more harmonious environment for all.
I also ask that we keep the affected families in our thoughts and prayers. They are going through unimaginable pain and loss, and it is our duty as a community to support them in any way we can. Let us extend our compassion and empathy to those who have been impacted by today's tragic events.
In the face of adversity, it is important that we stand together as a united community. Let us not allow this incident to further divide us, but instead, let it serve as a catalyst for positive change. Together, we can work towards creating a safer and more inclusive community for everyone.
Please stay safe during these challenging times, and remember to look out for one another. Together, we can overcome any obstacles that come our way.
With heartfelt condolences and solidarity,
Jon Henry
