How the Texas governor is standing with Dallas police

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott made an unprecedented move Friday night to show he stands with the five Dallas law enforcement officers killed and the seven wounded Thursday when a sniper opened fire on police at a peaceful protest.

Abbott posted a picture on Twitter of the governor’s mansion where he resides. The two-story southern-style plantation house has blue lights shining around all four sides.

It’s a simple, but striking commemoration of the men and women in blue.
