The Community That Prays Together…
Several hundred residents gathered today in a prayer vigil for IMPD Officer Jason Fishburn, who was shot while trying to apprehend a suspect wanted for murder.
A number of pastors, police and local officials offered up words of support for officer Fishburn and other victims of violence.
The vigil occurred across from Wishard Hospital near the old YMCA.
It was even hard at times for this cynical, agnostic pundit to not be somewhat moved by the message of the vigil.
However, there is still a part of me that is very Old Testament, and in the wake of the shooting of Officer Fishburn, I have very little sympathy and tolerance for law breakers these days.
