Community Rallies Behind Police During Funeral Procession for Officer Moszer
Once officer Moszer’s funeral ended, his fellow officers found a community standing strong, waiting for them outside.
On this day of mourning, members of the Fargo-Moorhead community say they’re doing all they can to show officers that the they’ve got their back.
It’s a police officer’s job to jump into danger to help keep us safe.
They’re people “who go out every day and support and protect our community no questions asked,” says supporter Jasen Cross. “They don’t know who we are. They just step out there and protect us.”
Those anonymous people now letting their faces be known, showing a procession of grieving police officers that they care.
“It’s pretty touching, pretty amazing to see so many supporters”, says Curt Anderson of West Fargo. “Look at all the people as you stand on the street here.”
They started early.
Jasen Cross grabbed a spot near Scheel’s Arena by 1 PM, American flag in tow.
He says he’s seen “some people honking, waving, some of the officers driving by waving, stuff like that. It’s great support.”
People share their support with friends and family.
Josh Staska is using the opportunity to show his son Fischer a valuable lesson.
Staska adds, “Teach kids and all that about the importance of police and what they do in the community.”
It’s astonishing, the level of support for officers.
People are leaving work early, taking their kids out of school, for just one reason, to honor Officer Moszer and the Fargo Police Department.
“Showing that we totally support the people that protect us,” adds Curt Anderson.
His wife Jodi says, “It’s a brotherhood. They’re all family.”
Community is the word of the day.
A community of police officers from across the country and Canada gathering to honor Officer Moszer, welcomed with open arms by a caring community in Fargo Moorhead.
“Always show support to the people around the community,” Staska stresses, “and the importance of staying together as a community.”
It’s unknown how many officers joined in the procession, but those that did saw one heck of a show of support.
