In recent weeks, the NYPD has said goodbye to two hero's. Today, we mourn with you in your hour of sorrow. I am certain our officers were there at the Gates of Heaven to welcome their brother from PA. All I can say is that heaven must have one heck of a Police Department now. Godspeed Brother.

On behalf of the Moultrie Police Department, I would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family, friends and fellow Troopers of Corporal Pokorny. I know that words sometimes offer very little comfort. But please know that our hearts and prayers go out to all of you at this time. May the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God, comfort you all during this time of tragic and senseless loss. It is our prayer that those responsible for this tragedy will be brought to justice surely and swiftly.

Sir,
You died a hero, and I thank the good lord above that he gave us heros like you. I check this site every week or so, hoping NOT to see another name upon the list...when however, I do see a name, I get a pain, and then a tear...knowing that someone paid the ultimate sacrifice, so everyone else could stay safe.
You, sir, are a TRUE hero, and that "person" who took you from this world is nothing but a coward
