Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I am once again sitting in the chair where I first got the call. It has barely been 24hrs and mourning for you, Officer Barker, and both your families comes and goes like the tide. We have charged one. We will catch the others. It still won't bring either of you back to your families or to your fellow officers. Rest easy brothers, we will continue to stand as The Thin Blue Line. I only hope we can do it in a way that honors you both.

To the family, friends and fellow officers of Officer Bryant,

I am so very sorry for the loss of these two fine officers. It is beyond difficult to try to understand the pain that comes with losing one you love in such a sudden and horrible way unless you have lived it yourself. Please know that those of us who have traveled the road that you are about to walk, are with you in heart and spirit. May God bless you and comfort you in the days and weeks to come.

I know what your family is going through right now. The worrying, the pain, the tears...it's all unbearable. My first cousin was killed in the line of duty two years ago. He was a Wiggins Police Officer in Mississippi. I know he has welcomed you into paradise with his great big hug and charming smile. May God bless you and your family. You are a hero!

Another senseless loss.
I knew Ricky from scenes we worked together. He always had a smile on his face and was a wonderful person. He will be greatly missed.
To the family, always know you are in our prayers. May God watch over and keep you. May He give you peace and comfort.
There is not a one of us who don't wish we could take away the pain and bring Ricky back.
To the Officers of South precinct, know that Fire Rescue is here for all of you. We are one family.

Police Officer Ricky Bryant Jr.,

Thank you so much for making this world a better place. Let us remember when others run from a dangerous situation it is you that took the oath to face the dangers of that situation to save others in harms way.

DeKalb County, the State of Georgia, and The United States of America, have lost a true warrior that was murdered by an individual(s) that Police Officer Bryant had sworn to protect.

Police Officer Bryant may you rest in peace and keep on patrolling your beat in heaven as one of God's bravest officers.

Hearing about this brought back so many awful memories of two of our officers who were gunned down very much the same way on April 31, 2007 (Sean Clark and Jeff Shelton). Our hearts are completely broken to have this happen again. May God with the family and friends of both Officers Bryant and Barker always. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all as you endure this ever-painful time. God is with you and justice will prevail. Thank you both for your brave and dedicated service...you will NEVER be forgotten!!!
