I'll never get used to how terrible I feel when I learn that a LODD has taken the life of the parent of small, or in this case unborn, children. I can't think of anything more devastating to the survivors. My prayers are with PO Lasater's family, friends, and colleagues. May God be a Father to his child.

Not again... My thoughts and prayers are with the Lasater family and all of my friends and former co-workers in Pittsburg. I did not have the good fortune to meet you Larry, but I have been told you were one of the good ones. Rest in peace brother. And for my friends left behind at PPD, do the job well and safe. This comes all too soon after the death of Ray. Peace be with you all.

I had the great fortune of meeting Larry three weeks prior to the incident as we attended a basic SWAT school together. Even though I only knew Larry for a short time, I will never forget him as he was a great person besides being a great Officer. My heart goes out to his wife, family, friends and fellow Officers.

As is every time, passing out the black bands for our Badges was not easy. It is not only respect for the officer but for his family and as well as his partners that we greive.
I think his mother put it best on TV when she said he lived his life as a leader and by example.
I read where people often live their lives wondering if they ever made a difference. Marines and Police Officers (especially L. Lasater) never had to think that for a single second.
God Speed, I will see you on street patrol in Heaven sir.

"There is a word
Which bears a sword
Can pierce an armed man --
It hurls its barbed syllables
And is mute again --
But where it fell
The saved will tell
On patriotic day,
Some epauletted Brother
Gave his breath away.
Wherever runs the breathless sun --
Wherever roams the day --
There is its noiseless onset --
There is its victory.
Behold the keenest marksman,
The most accomplished shot,
Time's sublimest target is a soul "forgot"
Ofc. Lasater - You will never be forgotten as you have influenced and inspired so many. My thoughts and condolences to everyone who knew you and were touched by your existence. Bless you and yours dearly.

This is a tragedy in every sense of the word. Not only did you give your life in the line of duty, you gave life and hope to others when you donated your organs. May your wife see you every time she looks into your baby's eyes, so that she will know you are always with her and your child. And may God wrap His loving arms around all of your surviving family and friends as they face the pain of your loss. A hero not once, but may times. God grant you eternal rest, Officer. You have earned it. Our prayers are with you and your family.
