Another senseless murder of two young police officers attempting to make an arrest on a warrant suspect. Now we have the identified cowardly murderer on the run with a gun. I'm positive the TPD will track this murderer down and do their professional best to take him into custody and bring him to justice. On the other hand, maybe the suspect will meet the same fate as the Lakewood, Washington suspect who tried to pull a gun on pursuing detectives. My prayers go out to the familes of these brave young police officers and to the TPD officers who grieve for their brother officers.

---------------------------------------------
One of us...a brother lost.
The fallen warrior walks alone,
his footsteps muffled in the swirling mist of
seemingly endless night.
From the darkness, first quiet as a heartbeat,
growing louder, stronger...
the sound of a mighty army marching,
closer, closer still.
His comrades, those who left before him,
join him one by one...
brothers and sisters,
heroes all.
And they walk with him,
a force of many,
a heart of one.
Their duty over,
their rest deserved...
they walk together toward light and hope.
And the peace they fought so hard to keep...
finally their reward.
One of us.
A brother lost.
Never forgotten.
