Patrick Zamarripa, I never met him in person but I got to see him through his wonderful daughter’s eyes. Lyncoln, if you’re reading this, please know how much of a blessing you are. I’m sure your daddy is up in heaven watching over you and is so proud of the amazing, brave, intelligent, kind, beautiful girl that you are. Your daddy is a hero and his legacy will live on. You’re a very amazing girl and I’m honored to have met you! I love you so much Lyncoln, please give Kiwi a hug for me

Ms Zamarripa and family, I wish there was a way to erase that day or better yet or to swap me for Zam. I call him Zam. I wish yalls family was complete and whole again. And Lyncoln, you have one of "God's Finest Daddys". Everyday look up and sing your Dad a song.

Zam would ya please sit with my Mama and watch a lil TV with her while I'm busy out here in the streets. I don't want her to get scared. I hope you don't mind Andy Griffith and Mash reruns. I promise to get as many states I can reach to always remember you are one "God's Finest Rangers!" Easin to Ft Worth for a haircut and the mailman Goin to your Mama's mailbox.

I wish their was a way that I could trade boot prints with the next cop that loses his life on duty. Too many families stare at a empty cereal bowl.

It had been years since I saw Zam when I saw his face on the news the morning of July 8. I served in the military with him and went to some bad places with him. I am now a seven year veteran of civilian law enforcement and just thinking about that day rips me up. Going through the struggles of the recent events make it that much harder. Rest easy though brother. See you again one day.

Officer Zamarripa, 4 years ago today you and your partners where brutally murdered. Continue to rest in heavenly peace

This day still brings a nauseous feeling to me as I recall hearing about this tragic shooting and reading about horrific details that ended the lives of these true heroes. As usual, life went on while every member of the law enforcement family across the country mourned, wept and honored you all. Brave men and women, just like all of you, continued with their duties and continued to wear the uniform and don the badge to uphold the oath they took and to protect and serve. To protect and serve many of the very same people who were vilifying and demonizing those brave men and women for doing nothing more than their job. It sickens me more and more everyday to see amazing, brave men and women like all of you leave their families for the last time and sacrificing it all, and then to be cast in such an unfavorable light the way our poisonous and biased media does. To all of you who gave of themselves so bravely and so honorably that day, know that your sacrifice is one that will never, ever be forgotten. Rest in peace always my friends.

All these officers were doing was protecting the safety of others on that fateful night. I remember watching this unfold on TV. Thinking why? Because they dared to serve their community? Because they chose to protect?

Thank you for your poignant words and Kate. Ever so true for so many years. Also true for those whom did not succumb to their injuries but had their lives forever changed. Unable in so many cases to continue doing The Job they were called and loved to do.

So many good officers taken far to soon. So many families impacted with so much pain. So often quickly forgotten by the citizens they served with little recognition.

To all whom come to this message that serve in an often thankless job, to all who have experienced undeserved loss of loved ones who answered a higher calling. Thank you for your service and desire to fight the daily battle for those who need your protection, trying to understand why good men and women you love continue to walk this often dangerous path. Know that some of us will have your 6 because we have seen what you mean to civilization and humanity first hand.

I will have your 6:00

Today, I will not answer the radio call that you boyfriend has come home drunk and is beating you again. Today I will not answer the radio call that your 16 year old daughter, who is very responsible, is four hours late coming home from school. Today I will not answer the radio call that your store has been robbed or your house has been burglarized. Today I will not stop a drunk driver from killing someone. I will not catch a rapist or a murder or a car theft. Today I will not answer the radio call that a man has a gun or tried to abduct a child or that someone has been stabbed or has been in a terrible accident. Today I will not save your child that you locked in the car or the child you were to busy to watch who went outside and fell into swimming pool. No, today I will not do that. Why? Because Today I was killed be a drunk driver while I was helping push a disabled car off the highway. Today I was was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop to simply tell someone that they has taillight out. Today I was killed in traffic accident rushing to help a citizen. Today I was shot and killed serving a warrant on a know drug dealer. Today I was killed be a man when I came by to do a welfare check because his family was to busy. Today I was killed trying to stop a bank robbery or a grocery store robbery. Today I was killed doing my job.

A chaplain and a officer will go to a house and tell a mom and dad or a wife or husband or mother or father I won’t be coming home today. The flags at many police stations were flown at half-mast but most people won’t know why. There will be a funeral and my fellow officers will come, a twenty-one-gun salute will be given, and taps will be played as I am laid to rest my name will be put on a plaque , on a wall , in a building, in a city somewhere. A folded flag will be placed on a mantel or a bookcase in a home somewhere and a family will morn.

There will be no cries for justices. There will be no riots in the streets. There will be no officers marching , screaming “no justice, no peace.” No citizens will scream that something must be done. No windows will be smashed, no cars burned , no stones thrown,no names called. Only someone crying themselves to sleep tonight will be the only sign that I was cared about.
