A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the New Orleans Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother.

May God rest his heroic soul and comfort all who love him. Let us pray the driver of the vehicle that struck him and fled the scene is bought to justice and receives the full weight of justice in our courts and never again breathes a breath of air as a free man or woman.
