As I think the world knows, ISIS also known as Daesh claimed responsibility for the London Terror Attacks. To recap, three people were murdered yesterday and forty injured before the Daesh fan was shot and killed by the police. The Daeshbag (and that is about as kind as I can be to that lowlife coward) stabbed PC Keith Palmer to death in front of Parliament. PC Palmer was assigned to protect Parliament and that is what he gave his life to do.

Why talk about this hero?  Well, MP Jo Cox’s widower said it best:

I don’t care about the name of the attacker. This is the name I will remember. https://t.co/2azZHWkJAk

So to honor PC Palmer, here are some stories of the man. The Daily Telegraph reports:

“One of those who died today was a police officer, Pc Keith Palmer, a member of our parliamentary and diplomatic protection command. Keith, aged 48, had 15 years’ service and was a husband and father.

And he did what he was trained to do without regard for his life. Because that is what the police do.

“He was someone who left for work today expecting to return home at the end of his shift, and he had every right to expect that would happen.”

The bravery of the officer was later hailed by colleagues, friends and the many MPs whom he was charged with protecting.

And he died a hero at the hands of a petty little criminal.  He was a father of two and a military vet.

I’ve known Keith for 25 years. We served together in the Royal Artillery before he became a copper. A lovely man, a friend. I’m heartbroken. https://t.co/LgF4rQ7Vmg
