Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Chris Russell and his family will be in our prayers. I may not have known him but he is a fellow brother.
We as Police officers must never lose track of that fact.

God Bless each and everyone of us, as we go out to do the job no one else wants to do.

We are all better people and a better nation for having Officer Russell. It is for people like him, and many before him, that we all enjoy the peace and freedom we have. To the family, friends and co-workers in New Orleans, I have you in my prayers and I will carry you in my heart.

To the family and friends of Chris Russell,
Words cannot express my profound grief and anger at what has happened. The Crescent City and all of the world today is mourning one of it's heroes. Let his co-workers carry on his name and remember him with praise and laughs and a few tears. And let his family know that he was, is, and forever will be a hero to the city and to us. God bless you Chris.

Rest in peace, Officer Russell, your watch here is over now. May you fly high with your new wings. May God comfort those you leave behind! You are a true hero.

Rest in peace Officer Russell. You died a hero, dedicated to saving and helping others. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten. God bless your soul and your family that is left behind here without you. Watch over them and those of us still here on watch.

This officer's death is truly unfortunate. It sounds as though this officer (and others arriving on the call) never even had a chance to defend himself. I can't wait to hear of the other two animals involved in Officer Russell's slaying getting caught and brought to justice! God Bless the Officer and the family that he had to leave behind.

Officer Russel and family:

Thank you for serving your community. Although you will never patrol your streets again you will always patrol the memories of every heart that you touched while in uniform. You will be missed but never forgotten. May you rest in peace Officer Russell.
