Four of our nations finest have been taken up into God's Police Department in heaven joining with all our other brothers and sisters in the badge who have also paid the ultimate sacrifice. This vent has put four families in the state of mourning deeper than most due to the number of brothers lost to one evil force. Know that police families across the nation all feel the pain and are in deep prayer for God's healing touch of love to come into their hearts. Your names will never be forgotten nor will your courage, your devotion to serving Gods children or your love for family and community.

I am so sorry for our loss of such a dedicated man. As a citizen of Oakland, I appreciate every day the protection the police provide. I am devastated by this, and wish there were more I could offer than words. I just want you to know that he mattered, and we appreciated his contributions.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
My condolences to Sgt. Sakai's family, friends, and department. No words can express the sorrow that is felt by losing not one but four officers in a two day period.
May the good LORD bless the people that knew Sgt. Sakai and give them comfort and strength in their time of need.
