Brother of man killed by off duty police officer speaks forgiveness

[trav55]

This case (the off duty female officer who walked into the wrong apartment and killed the man living there) has been all over the news and sad from every angle. I think everyone agrees it shouldn’t have happened and her actions were completely negligent, ignorant and preventable to put it extremely lightly.

But if you watch this video of this amazing young man, I hope everyone from every side can take something from him and use it. I don’t know if I could forgive like him, but this young mans amazing soul forgave the woman that killed his brother. Then he hugged her.

I don’t post sappy stuff much but it seemed like something that every person could benefit from watching and try to practice it like this amazing young man.

In a world that seems to be increasingly filled with hate and rage it was refreshing to see someone express forgiveness and mercy to someone who had done something truly terrible.

A lesson in forgiveness we could all learn from. A true Christian young man that doesn't know the meaning of the word hate. If everybody was like this young man, how much better would this world be?

Agreed. I’m not religious but that made me tear up. Wonderful.
