Duty! Honor! Hero! Magic Words given more power by your life.
Thank you!
Family thank you for sharing him!
His inspirational example will shine a light in dark miserable corners causing more roaches of evil to scurry
hopefully to be smashed.

I am so angry and disgusted about this blatant disregard for human life by a person who had no business being on the street. I want to express my condolences for your family both blood and blue, as well as tell you, Officer McDonald, that we will continue to honor your memory by doing our job just as you did everyday. We will never forget you my brother. Rest easy brother, and watch over us all as we continue the watch on the streets.

To the Family of Officer Patrick McDonald ;

Matthew5:6,8,9
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the PEACEMAKERS, for they shall be called SONS of God

I pray for your family that God will give you the strength the rise above all this in your time of mourning and I pray for your family that God will speak Peace to you all, The Word also says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, While I know that it is a hard thing to see right now but God gives us a promise that we shall see our loved ones again. Just Know that we all hold you and your Family up in prayer Right now. Patrick is as much alive right now as he was, He will live forever in the Heart of ALL those whom he Touched with his Life. May God Bless and keep you Always.

After reading the story of this incident it is clear that Officer McDonald was dedicated to his duty. We are sorry for your loss. Officer McDonalds family is in our prayers. We only hope that their loss has some purpose that will benifit others. Officer McDonald is an example for all in Law Enforcement who love their work and are dedicated to this service we call Law Enforcement. It is a "Calling" not everyone can or will do. Once again, he is in our prayers.
