‘God is in control,’ Mo. police chief says amid shootings across the nation

CAPE GIRARDEAU (CE) – Wes Blair had planned a quiet sunrise walk on the beach July 8. Instead, shootings in Dallas the night before prompted the vacationing chief of police of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to reflect on events in his former hometown.

Blair and his wife learned of the tragedy about 3 a.m. via Facebook. At dawn, Wes headed to the beach solo.

“I think that was God’s design. If [my wife] had been with me, we’d have had a conversation.”

Blair turned to social media with a post conveying expressions of broken-heartedness, anger, fear for fellow policemen and a sense of powerlessness against evil, continuing as follows:
