Following in Dr. King's Footsteps

Following in Dr. King's Footsteps
Disclaimer: Today's post is NOT about cats. If you came here to read about cats, I promise Wednesday's post will
be all about feline feistiness. You can still enjoy some stunning images in this post.

On the day we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, we also honor another great man of peace. Last week, NYC lost such a man; one who lived up to the legacy of Dr. King. In the age of Black Lives Matter, it may seem strange that a ghetto kitteh such as myself has chosen to honor a white man who also happened to be a cop. That man is NYPD Detective Steven McDonald.

Detective McDonald died of a heart attack last week. Tens of thousands of officers lined the streets of Manhattan stretching more than 10 blocks turning the streets into a sea of blue. Rumor has it, usually loud and bustling midtown was silent as the long funeral procession came up Fifth Avenue toward St. Patrick's Cathedral for this hero.
