Flash
You came out of the academy a month before me, and we both went to midnights in the busiest and the best district in the city. We both had terrific FTO's and we always worked as a group. I'll always remember coming to 011 and telling myself, "I want to be like him, he's no dog!". You backed everyone up and you'll always be awesome in my eyes. They say time heals the pain, but this loss will be hard for all, your family, friends, and the community. I pray daily for the family for their loss, and God bless those protecting our streets.
