"A coward turns away, but a brave man's choice is danger."
While this quote describes all law enforcement, it is particularly appropriate here. This warrior ran to the sounds of battle while others ran away. He is a true hero and I salute him for his life and honor him for his sacrifice.

Rest in peace brother. I hope your death was not in vain. I hope your death will push law makers to prevent these criminals from getting out of prison (or juvenile detention) before they are ready to re-enter society properly. There are too many repeat offenders that result in deaths. This needs to stop. Please watch over us.
