Officer Brenton,
May God bless your family. This is such a senseless and cowardly act of violence. RIP and Godspeed.

my thoughts and prayers go out to the family. It always sad to see an officer go down in the line of duty or other wise trying to protect citizens and preserve law and order.
It is especially sad to see some punks pull up to an officer or officers that they probably don't even know and just shoot them without giving them a chance.
Whoever you are might as well not run. Cause we will find you. One way or another we will.
If I lived in Seattle I wouldn't stop till I found you.
I know the Seattle police department and other local angencies won't stop till they find you. And I hope they do.
Officer Timothy Brenton thank you for your service over the years.

R.I.P. - The person who pulled the trigger is a coward. They didn't even have the guts to face you in a fair fight. What a coward.
We all hope this person is caught and gets the death penalty.

Godspeed Brother Brenton,
My thoughts and prayers go out for you and your family. May God watch over your brothers and sisters as they diligently search for your killer. Having formerly served in the US Navy, specifically in the SEATAC area, your death hits close to home. It was at that point in my military career that I knew my next calling was to serve my community as a law enforcemenet officer.
We take a risk everyday as we put on the vest, pin the badge on our chest, put on our duty belt, and strap on our boots. We put ourselves in harms way for complete strangers and ask for nothing in return. I cannot thank you enough for your dedicated service and may your memory live on. You trained your rookie well as she reacted without hesitation, I know that you would be proud of her. Rest knowing that justice will be brought to your murderers.
Godspeed Brother, hold the line for us up there.

Rest in peace, Officer Brenton. Your duty is done. Keep the gates open for the rest of us.
To the family of Officer Brenton: Know that he died as a member of one of the noblest professions of all. He devoted his career to making the world a little better, one block at a time, one call at a time. In addition to protecting you, he chose to protect us, too.
To Officer Sweeney: You did well. You must have had a great FTO. Please stay with us because we need all the help we can get.
To my fellow officers: Give your family an extra kiss and a hug before you leave and when you get home. There's a couple little kids and a woman in Marysville who won't get one tonight.

I am very sorry to hear of your passing. A senseless and tragic killing of someone who was there to protect the same animals that killed him. Time will go own but the pain of losing Officer Brenton will remain. May the Seattle Police Department hunt down the animals that committed this crime and make them pay for their actions.
Rest in Peace sir, you will be missed but not forgotten...

Always remembered
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Ofc.Timothy Brenton and Family,
Sir, We mourn as brothers and sisters your sacrifice and celebrate the honorable and courageous life you lived. I keep thinking about something I read recently that sums your life up to us. It is written at the peace officer's memorial in Washington D.C. and reads, "It is not how these officers died that made them Heroes, It is how they lived." We will remeber you always brother and pray for your family and law enforcement family, you are in our thoughts forever. "Poi si torno al' eterna fontana"
