Reflections for Police Officer Brian Timothy Strouse
Brian has joined the ranks of all the fallen officers before him. One of them is my son. We know the terrible feeling of such a great loss. Crime rates keep rising more policemen are dying. There are more laws protecting the bad guy than the Police Officer. Trying to Protect and Serve can become a deady job in just a second. Pray for Brians Family and Friends. Kenny

To Brian and his family,
I am in grief of the death of a good friend today, one who died in the line of duty two days ago, I heard of your ultimate sacrifice, thank you.
I do not have a message, except, I am proud to serve with officers like you. I unfortunately have seen to many fall. No cause seems enough to take the ones who care, the ones like you.
Thank you, for being there to defend those who needed you, thank you for standing when other could not, thank you for your sacrifice.
To the family:
I am sorry for you loss. You should stand proud, but I know that is no comfort. Hold, cry, you survive a hero one, who cared enough and was brave enough to stand and say "Stop!"
