I'm Stephen Ruiz, online content editor for OrlandoSentinel.com. As we await the first full night of high-school football, we hope you enjoy some of our top stories. Send me an email and let me know what you think.

Good morning. It's Friday, Aug. 25. We begin with a look at the after-action report by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement after the Pulse nightclub tragedy, which found, among other things, that the agency wasn't prepared to notify families of a loss.

Meanwhile, two Kissimmee police officers were remembered fondly at their funeral, less than a week after they were gunned down.

And finally, have you got weekend plans? Want some? We have some possibilities here.
