Ok, I thought I was done crying but the parents of fallen police officers....

I am on a 20m break, so I turn on the live feed and -- I'm in tears, and as the camera pans around the floor of the convention, I'm not alone.

That moment was amazing

The OP said they wanted to take a break because he/she was crying because of the very moving moment with the families of fallen police officers.
