When God sent His angels to bring you home, He had His reasons. Someday we will be able to ask why, but for now, we offer prayers of peace and comfort to those left behind. RIP Brother

Having friends who are officers I know the chill I get when I hear the words 'officer down'. There is NEVER a sigh of relief just because I do not recognize the name as that of one of them.

I cannot imagine the pain and loss your family, friends, and fellow officers are feeling at this time.

My prayers are with them all.

To the police, natural and spiritual families of Cpl Edwards,
I deal w/ the cop killers, etc., the lowest form of life after they are sentenced for these tragedies. It troubles me terribly when good men die while evil men live. I dont get why a rabid animal like his killer will live his life cared for by the state while his family, in particular, will remember the day of the death notification forever. It pains me deeply. Cpl Edwards' family shall be on my lips to G-d's ear as I pray. I could not grieve more for his death and your unspeakable loss.

Rest in Heaven, we will all meet again one day.

I am so sorry to your family and your department. On July 23, 2010 a warrior's heart stopped beating. Your story will be passed along throughout my agency, however I do not think that there is anything that could have been done differently, you were a squared away officer, someone I could have learned from. Rest in Peace Corporal and know that police go to heaven, and someday we will meet again. Until that day, you will always be in my prayers.
