Le mois dernier, David Rose, un policier noir de 33 ans, est tombé sous les balles alors qu’il répondait à une fusillade près du siège du CDC à Atlanta. Ancien marine, père de famille, il est mort en service, en protégeant la communauté. Malgré son sacrifice, son nom n’a pas résonné dans les couloirs du Congrès ni sur le perron de la Maison-Blanche.
Aucune médaille présidentielle n’a été remise à titre posthume. Aucun drapeau national n’a été mis en berne pour honorer sa mémoire. Le deuil s’est limité à une cérémonie locale, entourée de ses collègues, de sa famille et des habitants de son comté. Son histoire, pourtant emblématique, n’a pas franchi les frontières de l’actualité régionale.
Quelques semaines plus tard, Charlie Kirk, militant conservateur bien connu, est assassiné sur un campus universitaire. Immédiatement, le choc traverse Washington et la couverture médiatique explose. La Chambre des représentants observe un moment de silence, le président ordonne la mise en berne du drapeau et promet sa présence aux funérailles.
Ce contraste interroge. Pourquoi un policier noir mort en service n’a-t-il pas droit aux mêmes honneurs qu’un civil blanc, personnalité médiatique certes, mais n’ayant pas risqué sa vie au service de l’État ? La différence de traitement semble moins tenir au contexte des morts qu’à la place symbolique de chacun dans l’imaginaire politique américain.
Pour beaucoup, cette hiérarchisation des victimes illustre le fossé entre le discours officiel — « toutes les vies comptent » — et la réalité d’un pays où toutes les vies n’ont pas le même poids dans l’espace public. La couleur de peau, la notoriété et l’affiliation idéologique pèsent manifestement dans l’équation.
L’affaire Rose-Kirk met ainsi en lumière une Amérique fragmentée, où le deuil national n’est pas universel mais sélectif, et où l’égalité devant la mort demeure une promesse non tenue.

It's funny, I didn't realize until yesterday that it was a thing to commemorate the victims of political extremism on social media. Where was the mourning for this man? Officer David Rose lost his life a month ago, when he rushed to the CDC in Atlanta to stop a right-wing extremist who pumped more than 500 rounds into the building. That's officer Rose's toddler receiving the symbolic folded flag, because her mom was close to delivering the family's 3rd Child and couldn't attend. Rather than typical mourning clothes she is wearing a t-shirt with the words “My Daddy Is a Hero.” Although his loss was recognized in Georgia, the White House did not fly flags at half mast as they are doing now despite his efforts to protect Federal workers. President Trump and his Press Office have yet to comment. Don't hold your breath.

SupprimerOh they not going to do the right thing, trump & his. Goon squad., We hardly heard any coverage of the kids that got shot at school somewhere the other day because they two busy talking about this GD What ever The F his name was 24/7. And the Audacity to fly him in on air force 2 , This trump trash is getting way to much out of hand. Him & his mud duck’s.
A Black police officer, David Rose, was shot and killed defending a federal government building last month, and he didn’t get a presidential medal, a congressional moment of silence, or a lowered flag at the White House.
RépondreSupprimerA white civilian, Charlie Kirk, is shot and killed on a college campus, and he gets all those things and a promise of presidential attendance at his funeral.
Don’t tell me that all lives matter in America. They don’t.
“God Sees, God Knows, God Decides”
RépondreSupprimerMany people today live as if God isn’t watching, as if He has no say in what happens after this life. But the truth is — He is watching, and He alone holds the authority over our eternal destiny.
In a world full of hatred, judgment, bias, unforgiveness, and pride, it’s easy to forget that none of us will escape the day we stand before the One who sees everything — not just our actions, but our words, our motives, and even our hidden thoughts.
Whether we believe it or not, every soul — of every race, nationality, and background — will one day stand before God. In that moment, it won’t matter what opinions we held, who we disliked, or how we justified our wrongs. What will matter is how we lived, how we loved, and whether we honored God with our lives.
The Word says:
“For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
It is written: ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;
every tongue will acknowledge God.’
So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.”
— Romans 14:10b–12 (NIV)
This isn’t just a warning — it’s a wake-up call.
It reminds us that our lives matter — eternally. What we say, how we treat others, what we choose to forgive or hold onto, and whether we live by faith — these things don’t go unnoticed.
God is not swayed by public opinion.
He’s not impressed by status, skin color, or success.
He sees hearts. He hears the unspoken. He knows the truth behind every mask.
This truth should not cause fear — but reverence.
Because this life is not the end. It’s the test. It’s the preparation. It’s the chance to choose humility, grace, truth, and love — before we meet the One who defines them all.
Conclusion: Wait on the Lord
No matter how bad things may seem — no matter the discouragement, disappointment, or injustice we may face as a people or as individuals of any race — do not lose heart.
When it feels like the world is against you, when hate seems louder than love, and when judgment replaces compassion — don’t fight back in your flesh.
Pray. Let God fight for you.
He sees it all — the hurt, the lies, the silence, the injustice. And He will deal with it in His perfect time.
“Vengeance is Mine, says the Lord. I will repay.” (Romans 12:19)
So stand firm in love. Walk in truth.
And wait on the Lord.
Because He alone is the righteous Judge, and in the end, He will make all things right.

Truthfully I'm sorry to hear of of this man dying in the line of duty, my prayers and sympathies for his friends and family. truly a man trying to uphold peace and order, much respect.
RépondreSupprimerAnd if it wasn't for this post, I never would have heard of this man. The media has a funny way of showing what it wants to show, because they feel that's what gets their ratings up, and it is a shame.
May this man's soul rest in peace.❤️
Last month, a man shot Afghanistan veteran (Marine) Officer David Rose to death Officer Rose (5 months out of academy) was responding to a call of shots fired at the CDC HQ it was determined that the shooter was angry about the COVID 19 vaccine. I didn’t hear about this shooting and it certainly wasn’t making the social media rounds This saddens me. Celebrity lives aren’t the only valuable lives.
RépondreSupprimerThis post and comments are concerning. Please look inward, much deeper then you have or are.
RépondreSupprimerYou should miss- heavy, hard and difficult debate. Along with Opposing ideas.
Especially knowing each person is steadily growing. At least should be. And at this moment you and I believe something strongly that we could be more informed in.
Meaning, the person on the other side probably has something the opposing side can learn from.
Additionally, you may not miss him as a person. It seems the intensity surrounding his murder is more so about what his life stood for. Fair debate, reason, truth, America a main priority, opposing government corruption, and nearly most important- Seeking the Truth. At the most important faith in Jesus Christ.
Ultimately will bring about a society and culture that provides peace, hope, love and sacrifice for one another.
You would think the the opposing side to Charlie Kirk would say something like I never agreed with his ideas or beliefs but I am going to miss the fair debate and the civil discourse. I am going to miss what he was doing for the  colleges even though I don’t agree with his stances I am still going to miss the excellent job he was doing of provoking deeper thought and reasoning. I am going to miss the expansion of education he was causing in the colleges.
Instead the concerning comments above have been made.
And the concerning post has been made.
I won’t likely reply to anything responded to this. My only purpose in this comment is to encourage a deeper consideration in your individual hearts.
My purpose is not to create an online debate.
There is a time and a place for that.
I know. I’ve grown tired of the eulogies for a Kirk, particularly on September 11th, which is a day 353 firefighters charged into the World Trade Centers to near certain death.
RépondreSupprimerI think it is possible to hold multiple thoughts - (1) Charlie Kirk was George Wallace 2.0 in my opinion and I can’t stand him. As a parent of an lgbt kid, I found him to be a repulsive person and I’ll never eulogize him; (2) political violence is bad as it leads to vigilantism, anarchy, civil war, no rule of law, and we will end up like Lebanon if it continues; and (3) I feel bad for his kid for losing their dad.
Un policier noir, David Rose, a été abattu le mois dernier en défendant un bâtiment fédéral, et il n’a reçu ni médaille présidentielle, ni minute de silence au Congrès, ni drapeau en berne à la Maison-Blanche.
RépondreSupprimerUn civil blanc, Charlie Kirk, est abattu sur un campus universitaire, et il obtient tout cela ainsi qu’une promesse de présence du président à ses funérailles.
Ne me dites pas que toutes les vies comptent en Amérique. Ce n’est pas le cas.
• David Rose, policier noir tué en défendant un bâtiment fédéral, n’a reçu aucune reconnaissance nationale.
RépondreSupprimer• Charlie Kirk, civil blanc tué sur un campus, a eu droit à des hommages publics, drapeaux en berne et promesse de présence présidentielle à ses funérailles.
Le message souligne une inégalité dans la valeur accordée aux vies noires et blanches aux États-Unis.
Donald Trump has not personally acknowledged the death of DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose, who was killed near the CDC in August 2025. However, his administration did issue a statement through the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
RépondreSupprimerDetails on the administration's acknowledgment:
HHS Statement: On August 11, 2025, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services posted a message on Facebook stating that "President Donald J. Trump and the entire administration are deeply saddened by this tragic loss".
Secretary's Travel: The HHS post noted that Secretary Kennedy had traveled to Atlanta following the shooting to express condolences in person.
Lack of direct comment: Despite the statement from his administration, news outlets reported that Trump himself went nearly a week without commenting on the shooting.
Following the August shooting, some critics contrasted Trump's silence on Officer Rose's death with his later public comments on the September 2025 killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, including issuing a video message and conducting an interview on Fox News. What’s your conclusion, does all life really matter in the US?
David Rose was killed in the line of duty, protecting a Federal building. He was a Marine. He had a wife and 3 kids.
RépondreSupprimerNo order from President to fly flags at half-mast. No medal awarded. No funeral attendance.Not even a call to his widow. In fact, he hasn't even hit his memorial GoFundMe yet!(Link in comments)
Yet a film flam man who made a grip spreading hate for the right is getting all those things. Keep telling yourselves it's all equal.
On August 8, I experienced one of the most difficult days of my career in public service. Officer David Rose, a proud member of the first DeKalb County Police Academy graduating class under our administration was ambushed and killed in the line of duty.
RépondreSupprimerThat night at Emory University Hospital, I joined CEO Lorraine Cochran-Johnson, Chief of Staff Leah Davis, Ph.D., and our DeKalb County Police officers as they lined the hallway in solemn silence to honor their fallen brother. I will never forget the weight of that moment.
We now prepare to mourn together as a community. And this is why the work we do matters.
The family has established a GoFundMe to support his wife and children during this unimaginable time: https://www.gofundme.com/f/7xahr9-officer-roses-official-gofundme
Genuine question….why weren’t flags at half mast for the former marine police officer who died protecting the CDC from that gunman who shot 100+ bullets? You know, the gunman who shot at multiple buildings including the daycare full of kids?
RépondreSupprimerCharlie Kirk wasn’t a soldier. He didn’t die defending this country. Why is he getting a medal, flags at half mast and a statue in the capital?
His name was Officer Rose if anyone wants to know. He was one of the first officers on scene. He served four years in the United States Marine Corps, including a deployment to Afghanistan.
Where is his medal?
