I never had the honor of meeting Trooper Sperr but it saddens me to hear of his death. I would like to send my deepest condolences to the Sperr family and the entire New York State Police. Trooper Sperr is the definition of a true hero that will be so greatly missed but never for forgotten. God has called another angel in blue upstairs to patrol the streets of heaven. Thanks for your service and dedication and your fellow brothers will take it from here.

Somebody killed a policeman today,
and part of america died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect will be buried at his side.
The suspect that shot him will stand in court with counsel demanding his rights.
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids, and spend many long lonely nights.
The beat that he walked was a battle field too, just as if he had gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation wont fly at half mast, to his name they will add a gold star.
Yes somebody killed a policeman today,
in your town or mine.
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors, a cop put his life on the line.
Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street and he stands at each rookies side.
He answered the call
of himself gave his all
AND A PART OF AMERICA DIED.
Blessed are the peace maker for they will be called the cons of god

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. - Matthew 5:9
There are no borders, no rank, no barriers, when one of us "falls". We are all hurting and simultaneously angered that you are gone and "they" are still with us. Please watch over us as we carry on...
May God Bless and provide comfort to your family. It was an honor...
