The Passing of a Friend

A good man, good cop, and a good friend died today. Buena Park Police Officer Daniel Ackerman died today after going down during a physical training session Friday morning. No one knows why, or what happened to him yet. He was a SWAT officer and in exceptional shape.

I met Dan during high school when we were both police explores. We then went to the police academy together. He was hired as a cop and I was activated as a Marine. Over the years we stayed great friends. We spent endless hours in the gym and on the range training together.

The world is a lesser place for his passing. I ask that everyone say a little prayer for him and his family.

Stay Safe,

Ben
