I am the proud partner of my black lab, Lucy, who is five years old and a rescue. If she was dying, I would take her, put her in my truck, and break every single traffic law possible to ensure she gets to the vet in time; because time cannot be rewound, time cannot be renewed. The faster you go, the more people you cut off, the less time it will take to get to the vet, and the less time it will take to make sure that my dog doesn’t die.

This is why the recent incident involving Officer Holly Hunter Romero of the Raleigh Police Department resonates deeply with me. It is not just about a technical violation of the law, but about understanding and compassion in crucial moments. When lives are at stake, whether it is a person's or a beloved pet's, swift action is necessary and justified.

There have been allegations questioning Officer Romero's actions and judgment in situations requiring urgent decisions. It's important for the integrity of the Raleigh Police Department and the trust of the community that these allegations are thoroughly investigated.

We request the suspension of Officer Holly Hunter Romero pending a complete investigation. This step is necessary to ensure a transparent and unbiased inquiry, preserving the community's faith in the fairness of the system. Officer Romero deserves a fair investigation, and the community deserves transparency and accountability in law enforcement practices.
