This week, my southeast Wisconsin community lost two heroes: Racine Police Officer John Hetland and Milwaukee Police Officer Kou Her. Officer Hetland, a 24-year veteran of the Racine Police Department, was shot and killed while off duty, trying to stop an armed robbery. Officer Her, a 2-year veteran of the Milwaukee Police Department, was killed on his way home from a shift as a speeding car crashed into him. These men are heroes. They will always be remembered for their service. This is a solemn reminder of the sacrifices members of our law enforcement make every day to protect our communities. My prayers are with the families and friends of the officers and the entire law enforcement community grieving for these heroes. ____________________
