Such a sad day in history!!!!! That four lives could be taken from us in such a manner and by such a demon. My prayers go out to the families that lost these heros.

On behalf of myself and the CHP, God bless you for your dedicated services. Being a former Oakland Police Officer, it hits home losing a fellow brother officer. I believe God will take care of you in his kingdom. We will not forget your ultimate sacrifice!!!

Although, I did not know any of the four officers personally, words cannot express the amount of grief and sorrow I feel for the entire family of the Oakland Police Department and for the private families of these officers. This was a cruel and senseless occurrence that will do nothing but leave a gaping hole of shock, sadness and confusion in the midst of our already fragile society.
Please know that with every passing day we are extremely grateful and appreciative of the service of these officers and the entire staff of the Oakland Police Department. The City of Oakland could not properly function without your protection and dedication.
May God bless the passing of these officers and protect those who protect us.
THANK YOU.

My heart is breaking for your families because I know what it feels like to get that call that your husband, friend, and loved one is gone all too soon. I lost my husband in February 2007 in the line of duty also. I know that most of your close friends and family wont even read this until days, weeks, or months down the road because its too difficult or time consuming. But when they do get to read it, it will be important for them to understand that they are NOT alone! There is a huge support system out there waiting for you to be ready to accept us.
We are not a group any of you want to be a part of, but we are here nonetheless and we are praying and thinking about all and our hearts are broken with yours. Please draw strength from knowing that John will be greeted in heaven by the brothers and sisters that have fallen before him, and they will show him around up there! They will help him send strength your way so that you can be patient in the time it takes to be with him again.
RIP JOHN HEGE, we will take it from here.
