In Grand Rapids we just had the most amazing show of grief for Officer Bobby Kozminsky. He was ambushed with a shotgun blast from the garage where the man who was threatening to kill his wife and children had fled.Fellow officers from around the country and even one from Scotland came in this wonderful show of respect. As the officers entered the church, they salutrd two by two. The funeral was televised and this show of respect by these fellow officers took 90 minutes before the service started. Bobby was deserving of the citizens lining the route to the cemetary holding flags and signs praising his service. We in Grand Rapids understand the death of a hero. My deepest heartfelt sympathies to the family and your Police Department

What a tragic end to a young officer's life! My deepest sympathy to his family and fellow officers. It's so sad that it took the price of his life to get these scum off the street. God knows how much better the world is without them, but how horrible it will be without Officer Timoshenko.

A POLICEMAN'S PRAYER
BROTHER WHEN YOU WEEP FOR ME REMEMBER THAT IT WAS MEANT TO BE.
LAY ME DOWN AND WHEN YOU LEAVE REMEMBER I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE...IN EVERY DARK AND DREARY ALLEY I'LL BE THERE AS YOU SLOWLY TREAD, ON EVERY STREET CORNER IN THE DRIVING SNOW I'LL HOLD YOUR COAT AND YOU WILL KNOW.
IN PLACES WHERE THE DEVIL IS AFRAID TO WALK...
AT DOORS WHERE YOU MEET RESISTANCE...
IN HOUSES WHERE CHILDREN HIDE...
YOU KNOW I'LL BE AT YOUR SIDE.
THE PLACE FROM WHICH I NOW RESPOND IS OVERSTAFFED WITH HEROES GONE...MEN WHO ANSWERED ONE LAST JOB AND DID IT WELL.
AS POLICEMEN WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A CARD DEALT IN OUR HAND...A CARD WE HOPE WE NEVER PLAY BUT WE HOLD IT THERE ANYWAY.
THE CARD IS SOMETHING WE IGNORE AS WE STAND ON THAT THIN BLUE LINE EVERY TOUR...FOR WE KNOW THAT WE ARE THE ONLY PRAYER FOR MANY OUT THERE.
SO REMEMBER, AS YOU WIPE YOUR TEARS, THE JOY I HAVE KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE YEARS...AS THE JOB I LOVED TO DO I PRAY THAT THIS THOUGHT WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.

Officer Timoshenko,
I followed your story for the last several days, and prayed that you would make it through. I guess the Lord had bigger plans for you. My most heartfelt thoughts are with your family, friends and the NYPD at this difficult time. Thank you for having the courage to answer this calling, one that so few are cut out to do.
