Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

It's hard to believe that 11 years have past since that horrible night. I think of you, Dylon and your parents many times. Just recently your name came up in a training day we will NEVER forget about your sacrifice.

Honor Pride Will to Survive Class 9/95.

RIP Brother.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 11th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer. Larry was your brother in green as well, thus I thank you for your service in the Corps and bid you Semper Fi.

I pray for the solace of all those who love and miss you, especially your son. Both the pain and the pride are forever.

Rest In Peace

Brian,
Your actions that night are what being an LAPD officer is all about. You never waivered in your commitment and dedication in protecting the citizens of Los Angeles from a cold-blooded predator. You fought til the end and we will never forget your courage. KMA-367

I can't believe that 10 years have passed. It seems like yesterday that you were taken from us. You are not forgotten and you are missed. My prayers are still with your lovely family and Dylan. In the eyes of all who knew you, you are a true hero. God bless you, bro.

I think of Brian often. I had meet Brian in the summer of '95 while I was in Ca. visiting w/ relative. He had stopped by my cousins house who was in the Academy with Brian. He had such a way about himself that made him just stand out. He always knew what he wanted. Straight to the point and very honest.

Dylon, when your father spoke of you, which he did often, you could just see the sparkle in his eyes and the love in his voice when he spoke of you. How proud and lucky he was tobe your father.

I think of my nephew often. He was the "little brother" I never had. I think, "What would he be doing now?" "What would he think of his son, now 17 years old?"

I am so proud of my nephew. Of what he was doing, and his contributions to society. I feel deeply that he was here for a special purpose and whatever it was, he accomplished it and now he's gone.

His memory lives on in each of us, his remaining family members and those who's lives he touched. I will always remember the fun we had together when we were both children.

To all those that loved him, he did a job well done.

(a side note to my Nephew Dylan - I hope you are doing well, your cousins John Josephine and Beatrice send you our best wishes.)

Love, Mary(Janie Reyna)Boehnlein

Devil Dawg:

Recently, one of Your classmates' brother, and I were discussing You. Today, as I type this, I am sitting here next to another one of Your classmates-"Gonzo". He is a Sergeant now, and doing well here in Southeast. Until he told me, I had no idea that You were the first in Your class to become a P.O. III. Such a promising career, cut down so soon.

Keep an eye on us down here.

I did not know Officer Brown, I saw his story in the 2008 NLEOM calendar and noticed by the ribbon bars in his photo that he'd been a Marine. I'm also a cop and a former Marine, and was in an officer-involved shooting in which my sergeant was killed (my partner and I shot his murderer). I wanted to pass on this comment...the daughter of the slain sgt once remarked that whenever she sees a police car go past, it's as if her dad is still here watching over her. Law enforcement is a family and only we can truly understand what this is like. God bless Ofcr Brown and his family.

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Brian,
It,s been some years now but I still think about you everyday. I had a hard time dealing with this but someone once told me what would you do? Would you trade his life for yours? I replied in a heartbeat!They asked me would Brian trade his for yours? I replied in a heartbeat! Then the statement was made to me. How do you know Brian hasn' already given his life for you? That's when I knew Brian had given his life for his fellow brothers and is always watching over us when we are on our shift. Brian I miss you.
