Me and my family are deeply saddened by the loss of this brave officer. I am so thankful for law enforcement officers like Corporal Pokorney who put their lives on the line every day so that people like me can feel safe. To the friends and family you will be in my prayers daily. May swift and just punishment come soon for those who committed such a cowardly and senseless act. God be with you always.

The credit belongs to the one who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if they fail, at least fails while daring greatly. So that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

My sympathies to Trooper Pokorney's family, friends and colleagues. The thin blue line gets thiner all the time due to senseless acts of violence and a general lack of respect for law enforcement. May God grant him eternal peace.

I know of no words that will suffice. I suppose all I can say is I'm very, very sorry.
I just want the family, friends and co-workers of Corporal Joseph Pokorney to know that there are folks all across this country that will lift you up in prayer before the Almighty.
May God keep safe from harm the men and women of the Pennsylvania State Police.
