An already challenging occupation has become even more arduous, since the murder of George Floyd Jr. provoked a nationwide torrent of hostility against police officers.
Officer Matthew Schrenger was off duty when he stopped to pray with his father on the public sidewalk outside the EMW Women’s Surgical Center nearly a year ago, on Feb. 20, according to the Thomas More Society.
One of the victims was police officer Eric Talley, 51, who was among the first to respond to the shooting. Talley, a Catholic, leaves behind a wife and seven children.
