Last night was an emotional night in Feurgson, Mo. and the world was watching intently. The reality of the situation is pretty easy, there are no winners, only losers in this situation.

The facts are this, an young man lost his life. A police officer did his job.

Could the death of Michael Brown have been avoided, possibly, but we weren’t there, so it is hard to speculate. But a family had to lay to rest their son way too early in life.

I hope and pray that the family, in time, can begin the healing process and move forward. It will never bring their son back, but it will help them, but time can ease some of that pain.

My children will one day read about the Feurgson shooting. They will read about the case and ultimately the rioting afterwards. This country has a long ways to go toward building a bridge with our race relations and I hope and pray that the verdict in the Feurgson shooting will not derail that.
