Don't let politicians degrade our officers

I watched with a heavy heart the unfolding tragedy in Baton Rouge, La., where for the second time in a week several law enforcement officers have been killed in an ambush. It’s an unspeakable tragedy when the people who place their lives on the line daily to protect the public are targeted by radical criminal elements of the population. Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of those affected, and they also go out to our own North Idaho law enforcement community and first responders.
