Officer Johnson, this senseless horrible murder shakes the very soul. I know you will be with your family always, in spirit and in their hearts and minds. The worm that did this will find justice, be it here on Earth or in the afterlife. May he find it sooner than later.
It can be seen from the reflections listed here, you were a good man.
May God Bless you and your family always but now especially. Rest in Peace, Brother.

I WORKED WITH YOU IN THE JAIL AND PATROL. WE ALL KNOW HOW GOOD OF A OFFICER YOU WERE. THE OTHER NIGHT I PUT MONEY IN A COLLECTION THAT WE WERE TAKING UP FOR YOUR FAMILY. I ALSO PUT MONEY IN A COLLECTION THAT WE WERE TAKING UP FOR A OFFICER WHO LOST HIS FATHER. THE FIRST NAME ON THAT LIST WAS YOURS RODNEY. THIS WAS SEPTEMBER 20TH, THE DAY BEFORE THAT COWARD TOOK YOUR FROM US. THATS THE KIND OF PERSON YOU WERE. YOU WILL BE MISSED BY ALL WHO KNEW YOU. LAST NIGHT I SAT OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE WITH 2 OTHER OFFICERS. I NOTICED A LIGHT ON UP STAIRS THE WHOLE TIME I WAS THERE. I AM SURE THAT WAS LEFT ON FOR YOU BROTHER. YOUR FAMILY MISSES YOU MORE THAN WORDS COULD SAY. DONT WORRY ABOUT A THING BUDDY IF YOU FAMILY NEEDS ANYTHING YOUR FAMILY IN BLUE WILL BE GLAD TO HELP. REST IN PEASE BROTHER.
