Reflections for Detective Russel Timoshenko
I never knew you but I read the websites every day praying you would make it. It saddens me to see that after five days of fighting bravely, God saw fit to call you home. We can only pray that the people of New York levy the appropriate punishment for all three of these cowards. It won't bring you back, but it will make it right. God bless you, your family, and the NYPD.

My heartfelt condolences go out to this young mans family, brothers and sisters in blue, and anyone else who was touched by his life. His actions and deeds will live on in all of our spirits and may we be filled with an ounce of his overwhelming courage as we continue to patrol this city. May God bless and keep you Officer.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Officer Timoshenko and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever. Today, because of the sacrifice Officer Timoshenko has made, the house of freedom is stronger, sturdier, and more secure.
To the family and friends of Officer Timoshenko, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to move on. Just as you were always with him when he walked the beat or patrolled the streets, know that he will always be with you - wherever you may be. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Officer Timoshenko is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.

P.O. Timoshenko, I have been in tears for the past few hours mourning your loss. A loss such as this at any age is bad, but to have your life, your dreams, and your potential hapiness taken from you at only 23 is immesurably tragic. God shall reward you for standing on the side of good and for doing the Lord's work here on Earth. You stood for a righteous cause and died with honor. You are an eternal role model and an infinite hero.
