This is heartening to see. As Twitchy told you last week, the Denver fallen officers’ memorial was vandalized by thugs last week during a protest.

The good news? Citizens didn’t sit on the sidelines. The Denver PD saw an outpouring of support from the community and took to Twitter to say thank you.

Like the memorial says: “Blessed are the peacemakers.” May they be safe as they protect and serve.
