But at least one professional sportsman said something to pay tribute.
Joey Gallo remembered a chance meeting with one of the slain officers and posted a heartfelt message on Instagram about Patrick Zamarripa — a hero cop the Texas Rangers' 22-year-old prospect won't — and didn't — forget.
“He was an avid Rangers fan. But more importantly a great person, and family man,” Gallo wrote. “Please keep Patrick, and all the officers affected and their families in our prayers today.”Here's the photo of that encounter and the story behind it via Gallo's Instagram account:
We shouldn't forget Zamarripa was a father who served three tours in Iraq and was just doing his job.
Gallo may be struggling in Triple-A ball right now, but at least he remembered.
