To the family, friends, and co-workers my prayers are with you. There is nothing anyone can say at this time that will make any of this make any sense. The only thing that helped me was knowing that Clint loved being a police officer and would not have traded places with anyone.
Detective Parker your family will miss you everyday, but we will never forget you. Look Clint up tell him I miss him.

I remember calling you on your cell phone from my cell phone as I sat in the rear of a van in which 14 of us were being driven back to command by you. I pretended to be the boss, and gave you a real hard time about being late. You finally realized that you were being had when the rest of us could not stop laughing.
You will be missed.

It was with deepest regret that I read about the tragic death of Det. Parker. Again two of our country's finest has paid the ultimate for the safety of others. Please accept the prayers of the entire shift of officers and sergeants here at BPD West Precinct. Back in June of this year we lost three of our own. It was a difficult time then and still is, as I am sure it is for Det. Raferty's and Det. Parker's fellow officers and families.
Remember that they are now watching over us all.

There are but two persons who protect the sinful human race from destroying itself. One is God's Holy Spirit. The other is the Peace Officer. Without them, we would all perish at each other's hands.
You were called into this profession and our Lord and Savior has blessed you because:
According to Romans 13.1-5...
God ordains the Peace Officer’s profession.
The Peace Officer is sent by God.
The Peace Officer is vested with God's authority to enforce the law.
A Peace Officer's badge is to be honored by us, because it is honored by God.
To the family of Detective Robert Parker and the New York City Police Department, your extended family of Law Enforcement Officers grieves with you during this time. I pray that God will wrap his loving arms around each of you and comfort you during this most difficult time.
You gave the ultimate sacrifice for your fellow man, your life.
While serving, defending, and protecting others in your community.
Rest easy with our other fallen Brothers and Sisters, we have the watch now.
To all my brothers and sisters, please remember the fallen officers we have lost. Remember the men and women who died trying to make this world a safer and better place for us all to live in, and their families. Please pray for this officer's family, agency, and friends as they struggle with this tragedy.
May God be with you every day, please remember, we are a part of the largest family in the world and when one hurts we all hurt.
Though our badges and uniforms may be different, our mission is the same. We continue the fight in your honor.
