I was doing doing paperwork when I turned to look behind me after I heard noises.
"Maddie,hi, you're here." I said as I stood up to hug her. "You ready for today?" I asked.
"So ready." She smiled.
"Oh, this is Connor Harrison, my partner, Connor this is my sister,Maddie, she requested us to be her ride along for her dispatch training." I introduced the two, as they shook hands.
"Nice to meet you." Maddie said.
"Likewise." Connor said. "Let's get this day started."
We went to our car, and headed out on the streets.

"All Wilshire Division units. Please respond to a 415 group at Parkview Cemetery. Request supervisor on scene." Dispatch reported.
"851-L-20. En route." I said into my radio.
"415. Disturbance?" Maddie asked.
"Yeah, my guess another military funeral protest." Harrison replied.
"What kind of people would protest a military funeral?" Maddie questioned, and I gave her a look and shrugged. That's my question too.

Just as Connor and I got out of our car after telling Maddie to stay there, another police car pulled up and a woman stepped out of the vehicle.
"Sargeant Athena Grant, need help?" She asked.
"Definitely not gonna deny it." I replied.
"Coming through, coming through." We said as the three of us walked through the crowd.
"Officers, can you please, please do something about this?" A man, who was there for the funeral asked. "My sister's trying to bury her son."
"We understand. And we're very sorry for your loss, but my best advice is just to ignore them." Athena exclaimed.
"Are you kidding me? They've got bullhorns. This is a funeral. Do you see those disgusting signs?" The man asked.
"I see 'em, but as long as they stay behind that fence, it's their constitutionally protected right to stand there and be awful."
"My nephew volunteered to serve because he believed in protecting the freedom that gives these... these idiots the right to spew their filth."
