White cop with a black wife and 2 kids, hmmmmm...won't see THIS on Al Sharpton's show, huh?

Every day I send my husband to work and pray he will come home to me that night. I pray that the violence and hatred towards cops involved in tragic, even unjust events, won't carry over into retaliation against the officer I love.
More than 100 officers have died in the line of duty so far this year, and close to half of them have been shot to death. These are the stories my journalism colleagues fail to cover, but I have to be aware of.
Of course my husband, who is white, is lucky to have a diverse family: A black wife and two black children of his own at home, but the people he interacts with don't know that. Some threaten our children -- who they assume are white -- with incomprehensible violence. Sometimes it feels as though the badge that's suppose to protect us all is actually working against us on the streets and back at home.
