A Much Better Way to Handle Tragedy and Loss Forced onto Law Enforcement

Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur are very impressed by and sympathetic for Steven Rauch, whose daughter was killed by police in Muskogee, OK after she and her boyfriend fired upon them first. They had been engaged in a series of criminal activities in several states leading up to the shooting. Steven Rauch invited the police who killed 17-year-old daughter to her funeral in Nebraska, saying he hoped it would help them heal from what they had to do because they “were doing their jobs, they’re in pain and they had no idea that they were even teens.” Representing the officers involved, the Muskogee Chief of Police, Johnny Teehee, spoke at her funeral.
