I wanted to thank you, Officer Rose for your years of service. Having the courage to answer the call for service and protect the community of Los Angeles. You chose a line of work that not everyone can do, or wouldn’t even want to do. Putting your personal life and safety aside to help those in need. Ultimately going out doing what you swore to do “Protect Life”. Your life will be remembered as a Fantastic Officer in your department and on the Memorial wall at the Biscailuz Training Center. God Bless you!

During our academy time at LAPD, George was always a gentlemen and pleasant to everyone.
And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hands.

RIH Officer George Rose you made the ultimate sacrifice. I was your partner the day that you were shot in the back of the head in the parking lot of Southwest Division. We all heard shots being fired from the Westside of the parking lot, but no one could see a suspect. (It ended up being an enraged boyfriend shooting at his girlfriend who had jumped out of his vehicle after an altercation and she was running on MLK Blvd towards the police station). A Sergeant was standing in the back of the parking lot as it was "change of watch" and I was getting a suspect out of the back seat of the patrol car and I noticed that the Sergeant had drawn his 9 millimeter weapon and had it pointed in my direction. I assumed that he was going to fire his weapon, so I pushed the suspect down on the backseat of the patrol vehicle for safety and I dove under the rear wheel well for cover. The Sergeant began to fire multiple rounds through the parking lot, with a sea officers in his line of fire. Officer Rose was walking towards the back door of the station and never saw the bullets coming. George was hit with one round and fell so forcefully to the asphalt that he swallowed 5 teeth and had a 9 millimeter bullet lodged in the back of his skull. The next day that I returned to work, I discovered a life size chalk outline of a dead body with two xx marks in the head in front of my police locker. That drawing indicated that the bullet that George received was intended for me. That was the 4th death threat that I had received from other officers while working with LAPD, because I was an outspoken Civil Rights Leader on the Department and a Inglewood City Councilman. That was my last day at work for LAPD 25 years ago. I will never forget that very awful and dreadful day and I still experience the emotional and mental trauma of George"s shooting and the subsequent death threat. That Sergeant was never disciplined for his "Out of Policy Shooting". My congratulations to those courageous Officers that endured the dreadful racism and sexism that permeated LAPD during that era and they went on to become Captain's, Commanders, Deputy Chief's, and Police Chief's of other Police Departments. May God continue to Bless You All and the future of LAPD!

We will always remember your sacrifice for the city and citizens of Los Angeles. Tragically your life was cut short and the city of Los Angeles lost a hero. But we all serve to honor our fallen brother's and sister's because we are one blue family. The next time I'm in LA I will look up at the sky and say thank you, say thank you to you brother and the many men and women of the LAPD that truly are the guardians of the city of Angels. RIP brother, never forgotten.

I worked with George Rose and at times he was my partner, well humored. We both trained for the anti-Gun for New Years eve and worked side by side with him as point Officers. Even though he made fun of me ( just a little Heavy) he was the guy you wanted as a partner because he was like brother to me he had my six as I did have his. Blessed be your voyage my friend.

To My Beloved Cousin, Georgie,

I remember the past, you were one of the very few that made me laugh as a child. Being so serious, scared, and never wanting to be apart from my Grandmother, you would stop me from crying by snatching me up, tickling, and then twirling me around like propellers on a helicopter. Then, you would just let me go! You were always laughing with or at me as a child and it made me feel loved and safe. My brothers, sister and I, at the same time, would poke fun at you and say, "Crack my toes Georgie Rose!". These were known as the good times that still make me smile this very day.

It wasn't a shock to me when I found out you became a police officer. You had every characteristic of a man of valor, just like your father, Uncle George. We as a family miss you dearly. I can't help but think of you when seeing a man in "blue". You made everyone smile and laugh and I am glad that I was able to see you before you were laid to rest. It gives me comfort to know how spent your days, when you able, to protect and keep others safe. Now you are in peace and safe in our Savior's Arms.

Until we meet again,
Jacqueline

George,

I think of you often. You were a very kind person and truly cared about the people that you served.

I truly wish there were more from our Police Academy Class (12/89) that would post a reflection.

You were a good friend, may you rest in peace.

God bless you and your family.

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen

My son is at the LAPD academy at this time in his 5th week. I spent many years in the LA area with the California Highway Patrol and read your story today. You were very brave and the Valor you showed that fateful day will never be forgotten. I will pass your information on to my son and if he is ever lucky enough to stop by the Southwest office I'm certain that he will understsnd your bravery...No brave officer should be forgotten and as far as I'm concerned you will always be remembered.

Semper Fi and Thank you for your service.
