As has been reported, Rafael Ramos--one of the two New York Police Department officers recently killed in a terrible attack in Brooklyn--is of Puerto Rican heritage. My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Ramos family, as well as with the family of Wenjian Liu, Mr. Ramos partner, who was also killed in the attack. This incident reminds us of the tremendous risks that police officers confront on a daily basis as they strive to keep our communities safe. We should always appreciate the courage that is required of these professionals, and we should never lose sight of the sacrifices that they make on our behalf.
