The words of BR Police officer killed today. Please listen to him.

1. .....

[blm]

2. I hope Skinner features this on the home page and keeps it pinned all week.

.

[seabeyond]

3. Thank you for posting this . Incredibly sad.

[KMOD]

4. So powerful.

You'd have to be heartless to not be touched by his message.

[Thinkingabout]

5. Another young child grows up without this special Dad, WHY? He was trying to make a better world,

just doing his job.

[malaise]

26. That is also true for all the innocent youngmen black and white

killed by police for no good reason

[Thinkingabout]

32. I did not exclude any person killed by guns. It does not justify killing of anyone.

[L. Coyote]

34. We need many more officers like Montrell Jackson, no doubt about it.

I would also venture we would be wise to better evaluate the ones we have and reconsider the "rules of engagement."

35. I hate collective punishment

It's why I hate war as well. Too many innocents are killed - there is nothing called collateral damage - it is the killing of humans and other animals.

8. Goddamnit

What a fucking waste of a good man's life.

[montana_hazeleyes]

9. This is so damn sad!

[Catherine Vincent]

10. Very sad

I wonder what he meant when he said he wondered if the city loved him?

[KMOD]

13. He was a man who chose to serve his city.

He was treated with scorn while wearing his uniform, and he was treated with scorn when not wearing his uniform.

Damned if he did, damned if he didn't. All because of his uniform, and the color of his skin.

[mountain grammy]

11. No, no, no..don't let this be true.

[uponit7771]

21. That smile must have been everything to his family and coworkers.

20. This is both heartbreaking and angering to read.

To have written that message and then to be murdered. I'm pissed.

“Humble Sweet Kind” Brand New Dad, Slain #BatonRouge #Officer Montrell Jackson Had Previously Saved A Toddler’s Life

Last month, Jackson had his 10th anniversary with the Baton Rouge Police Department, according to online city records.

"He loved his job," said Darnell Murdock, one of Jackson's friends.

"It motivated him to go out and change people's lives. He was on (the force) to help people, to make you have a better day," Murdock said. "He was humble, kind and sweet. … He wasn't on there to write tickets. I don't understand how this could happen to someone like him."
