Reflections for Sergeant Stephen Liczbinski

I saw your name in the window of a car today. It prompted me to learn about your life. You have not been forgotten, nor has your sacrifice. Rest in peace brother.

Today marks 14 years since your passing. I’ve been thinking about you all day, to the point of tears. I miss you, I love you, and I’ll see you when I get there.

We miss you Uncle Steve.

Sergeant Liczbinski, on this actual anniversary of your untimely and incredibly heroic death I’d like to reiterate my previous reflection and say that your law enforcement family will never, ever forget. Rest in peace always and may God Bless your family as well as the men and women of the Philadelphia Police Department.

Officer Liczbinski, I remember this and your heroic actions that day quite vividly. I still proudly wear my orange and black T-shirt with your name and and badge number on it as well as the words “Never Forget” quite often. It was orange and black because it was being sold by your brothers and sisters in blue outside of the then Wachovia Center just before an Eastern Conference Finals Game before the “Orange and Black” Flyers vs. the hated cross state rivals Pittsburgh Penguins. While the hated Pens prevailed throughout the series they showed extreme class in admiring and honoring you before one of the games by all slapping their sticks as the Flyers made sure to honor you and your sacrifice. I obviously purchased one of those shirts that evening as I had mentioned, and still wear it proudly as I mentioned as it will always say thank you to you, will always honor you and will always say thank you to your family. Rest in peace always knowing that your service and sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten by your law enforcement brethren.

May you rest in peace. We met when I first moved to South Philly, found out we had a mutual friend your old neighbor John Doyle. Later on it turns out your son is married to my old neighbor's niece what a small world. Hope to see you again.

Soon it will be 7 years,I do not know where the years went but not a day goes by that I don't think of you and ask myself why? I'll never understand why! I am so pissed off even after 7 years! You will never be forgotten as long as I am alive!

The shooter should have been in prison until the year 2036 on previous convictions and his two accomplices should have been in prison until 2025 and 2023 on previous convictions. The shooter's prior conviction was for no less than armed robbery. And Mayor Nutter had the unmitigated audacity the very next day to call a press conference and blame the National Rifle Association for Officer Stephen's needless and tragic end.

I never knew him or his family, in fact I have never lived in PA, but I think of Officer Liczbinski and this absolutely needless tragedy. Our criminal justice system in broken if convicts can be released THIRTY years early and nobody even notices.

Justice was not served because of a Deadlock Jury. May you Rest in Peace Steve and God Bless. Your family and friends will always remember you and love you...

I read today where 2 of Sgt. Liczbinski's killers were sentenced to life w/o parole, plus additional years. A victory to most but still a tragedy that the jury deadlocked because of 2 jurors that could not see that these 2 deserved the death penalty. To the Liczbinski family, may you take some solace in the fact that these killers will never again walk amongst the good citizens of Philadelphia. God Bless
