As the son of a Detroit Police Officer killed 53 years ago it hurts more
each time another officer goes down. God speed and I hope justice is
done.

I was listening today to a radio talk show host who was beyond disgust and rage at recounting what happened to two young police officers yesterday in Detroit. I was saddened and angry at the same time. How senseless! I knew of this website and sought out the names of the officers so that I could offer my sincere condolences to Officer Bowens wife, child, parents, family, friends and fellow officers of the Detroit Police Dept. You will all be remembered in my prayers. May your loved one rest in peace until you all meet again. May God bless and comfort all of you at this very difficult time.
