After 15 years it never gets easier knowing that one of your comrades has just fallen in the line of duty. I feel especially close because we work in the same city. My prayers to Officer Ricardo Lizzaraga's wife and family. He was just doing the job that he swore to do. God Bless you Ricardo Lizzaraga.

It is so sad to see such a tragedy like this one. A young man killed. Every Law Enforcement employee RISKS their life for all of us, and sometimes get paid back like this officer. It is so sad. Prayers are with his family, there is no possible words to console the family. God bless all officers and may Jesus keep each and everyone safe. Familia Lizarraga lo siento mucho y que dios los ayude.

Sincerely,

WE AS CITIZENS SOMETIMES FORGET THAT THESE OFFICERS ARE HUMANS DOING A JOB AND THAT THEY HAVE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS TOO WHO WILL MISS THEM. WE ALSO ONLY CALL THEM WHEN WE NEED THEIR ASSISTANCE WHEN A CRIME IS BEING COMMITED. THEY ARE PEOPLE WHO SOMETIMES MAKE THE ULTIMATE SACRAFICE DOING THEIR JOB. RIC, WE LOVE YOU AND WE WILL MISS YOU, I KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN HEAVEN AND STILL PROTECTING US.

"This is my shield. I bear before me into battle, but it is not mine alone. It protects my brother on my left. It protects my city. I will never let my brother out of its shadow nor my city out of its shelter. I will die with my shield before me facing the enemy."

Few are those among us, who choose to stand in the light of justice, and relentlessly pursue the ones who prey on the weak and the innocent......

Rest in peace.
