Two officers from the Mansfield Police Department met with members of the band prior to the show and offered hats, patches and gifts as well as kind words to the band. Both officers shared how the band’s cover of “The Sound of Silence” has made an impact on them and the members of the department, while singer David Draiman responds, “It’s a crying shame what has happened in this country. You guys give everything for us, so it’s the least we could do.”

The impact of the moment with the officers didn’t stop there, as Draiman spoke of his meeting during the band’s show in Mansfield, making sure that his words resonated with the audience. “Earlier today we were honored with some gifts from the Mansfield Police Department here. Our boys in blue put their lives on the line for us every single day. We shouldn’t forget that. Every single life on the face of this f–king earth matters. Do you understand me,” asked Draiman.
