I am deeply saddened by the murders of three police officers, and the critical wounding of another, in Oakland yesterday. It is terribly sad for their families. It is a black day. May they rest in peace, may their families find peace. And sympathy also for the killer, who died, whose life was so pointless, so useless, so destructive, so painful, so harmful to those around him, and to anyone who knew and loved him.
