FYI, if you didn't see it there was a story on Ofc. Henwood last night on the NBC Nightly news on what he was up to just prior to his death. He had stopped by a McDonald's in the area for some food and had contact with a little boy who asked him if he had a dime to spare. Ofc. Henwood instead offered to buy the boy cookies which is what he was after. Had some small talk and told this boy to be good and left on his final drive before his life was taken.
So sad to watch. They had surveillance video of the encounter in the restaurant. He was obviously very personable and seemed like a nice guy willing to help. It was really tough to see Ofc. Henwood's sister speak at his funeral. She spoke of his caring nature and always determined to do the right thing and I believe every word she said.
My condolences to his family, the San Diego Police Department, and the citizens he protected.
