This is really getting to be all to common. It was only a couple of months ago when I was photographing the memorial patrol car of the Richardson Police Officer killed while answering a call. Now, Dallas, has lost another officer doing the same thing.
He got up and went to work and on a dime, his life was ended for his watch that day.
This time, the memorial car was at the Northeast Patrol Division on Northwest Highway. Having seen the measures underway to protect the job place of work, the division basically has no parking for the public other than a couple or three spaces for visitors under normal circumstances. I parked on the east side of the armory and walked down to the station. There were 16 images that ran on the live news feed and rolled off this morning on the 48 hour cycle.
Since officer Santander's funeral is not until Monday, the memorials have built since the initial images were on the live news feed. I don't like to go back with more images when the kind people were gracious enough to run my images. There is only so much space for the whole world of events happening and I respect that aspect of submitting images, too.
However, I know that there are some of my readers that would like a follow up and I went out again this morning and shot a couple more images just to update the scope of how the community has turned out in support of our officers.
Here is what it looked like today.
