Never forgotten... Rest easy brother

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 141rst anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Time never dimishes respect and you will always be honored and revered. You must have been one of the first African-American law enforcement officers to serve. It is mind-boggling that the person who killed you and serveral other law eforcment officers was subsequently admitted to the state bar as an attorney after being pardoned by the governor.
Rest In Peace
