Phoenix Police officer David Glasser lost his life early Thursday after being shot
It is interesting how a loss of words and be translated into a few hundred about a police officer losing his or her life. Â I am doing just that today for officer David Glasser of the Phoenix Police Department.
On Wednesday afternoon he was shot by a suspect that was killed in the shootout with police. Â I am not writing about that event though. Â I am here to tell you by all accounts he was a huge Arizona Cardinals fan.
While I did not know Glasser personally, I know people that did. Â He was at all the tailgates at University of Phoenix Stadium.
Classy as always, #BirdGang team. @AZCardinals pay tribute to fallen @phoenixpolice officer. https://t.co/46QMPNL6LM pic.twitter.com/5L27EysfND

It is a sad day for Cardinals fans. Â It is a sad day for the City of Phoenix but it is most of all sad for his family. Â Glasser, 35, leaves behind a wife and two children.
