He was a good cop!

Mark F. Rugare 1954-1997

How I wish that Detective Sgt. Mark Rugare were here today so that I could discuss with him the distrust that police in general have earned because of Ferguson and now Baltimore.

Mark probably would have reminded me that there are many more good than bad cops. He probably would add that there are bad civilians who bring out the worst in the bad cops.

During these troubled days, I find comfort in recalling that Detective Sgt. Mark Rugare was without question a good cop.
