Dear Officer Zamarripa,
I mourn with your family the loss of your life, and the fact that you were protecting and serving the citizens of Dallas when you were gunned down by the sniper who had no idea who you were. Rest in peace and your family will be in my prayers!

Be advised that your brothers and sisters in the LE community past and present, stand with you and honor the memory of these fallen comrades in blue. We share your grief at this great loss. We will all lose brothers and sisters in arms during our career and each one hurts, but this one is an especially deep wound to all of us. May you all find the blessings of peace and comfort that only God can provide at this time.

TO THE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES OF DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT, POLICE OFFICER PATRICK ZAMARRIPA.

My heart is filled with great sadness at learning of the lost of your loved one and fellow Officer.
We in the law enforcement community are a family, although our uniforms may be a different style and vary in color, a badge, shield or star may be pinned upon our chest.
Our areas of enforcement may vary but our goals are the same, to Serve and Protect our communities. We consist of many different agencies from across the nation, for we are: Municipal Police Officers, Sheriff's Deputies, State Police Investigators, State Highway Patrol Troopers, Conservation Police Officers, College Campus Police Officers, Correctional Officers and Federal Agents just to name a few.
We patrol small towns, large cities, college campuses, county roads, state highways, state prisons, county jails, state parks and the United States Borders.
Whether active duty or retire, we are one family, a Law Enforcement Family, the thin blue line of protectors, brothers and sisters bonded together by HONOR, SERVICE and PRIDE.
Daily we honor our fallen brothers and sisters never forgetting their sacrifice and the sacrifice of their families.
Daily our position is clear that we will Serve and Protect our communities without faltering and with no hesitation.
Daily we show pride in our chosen profession LAW ENFORCEMENT, for we willingly walk the line of good over evil facing the unknown with courage keeping our trust and our faith in GOD.
We know that evil roam these streets and at any moment in the course of performing our duties the ultimate sacrifice might be required of us in the service to our community, for Law Enforcement is not a job but a calling and only a few will make the decision to commit to that calling to serve for some will give all that they have.
ALL LIVES MATTER! and LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS should be respected - If we don't respond to that call for help, or investigate that suspicious subject, or stop for that stranded motorist, or rush to that call of shots fired then who will ?
OFFICER ZAMARRIPA
You did not die in vain.
You sacrificed your life in the service to the citizens in the City of Dallas in the State of Texas with HONOR, PRIDE and DISTINCTION.
I'm proud to have worn the uniform of a law enforcement officer like you did.
I'm proud to have pinned the badge upon my chest like you did.
I'm proud to have served and protected my community as you did.
I'm proud to call you my BROTHER!
I commend you my fallen brother for making the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of your duty.
For you left us doing what you chose to do.
Performing a job you were trained to do.
Upholding the oath you swore to do.
Most importantly doing what you loved to do........Serving and Protecting your community with Honor and Pride making a better and safer place for us all.
FOR THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR IT, "LIFE HAS A FLAVOR THE PROTECTED WILL NEVER KNOW".
FINAL CALL
Officer Zamarripa status.......Officer Zamarripa status........ Officer Zamarripa status..........Attention All Units.............. Dallas Police Department, Police Officer Patrick Zamarripa having served the citizens in the City of Dallas in the State of Texas with HONOR, PRIDE and DISTINCTION is now 10-42.
Rest in Peace my fallen Brother, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!

Officer Zamarripa, thank you sir for your service. The domestic terrorist racist coward who murdered you obviously could not face you man to man to settle any problems he had with the police. I am hoping that his family receives his remains in several pieces, as he deserves no respect from anyone. We will keep your family and Department in our thoughts. Please watch over us as we carry on.

For: Sergeant Michael Smith, DPD, Senior Corporal Lorne Ahrens, DPD, Police Officer Michael Krol, DPD & Police Officer Brent Thompson, DARTPD:

Our nation is repulsed by the mass killings of Dallas' soldiers-of-the-law by an individual acting purely on his own and in a vicious and senseless manner. As Americans we have only to bear the shame of this war among ourselves and based upon nothing more than suspicion, hate and revenge for wholesale allegation, if any at all.
We regret this day and appeal to the public at large to reject such actions outside of what is in our laws and in our government and those who are appointed and elected to maintain peace among us. Many failures are apparent, but none more horrifying than a self-appointed vigilante creating only chaos and mob action by persons unwilling to permit justice to rule.
We pray for and work toward restoration of trust, honor and reconciliation to be restored to both city and nation where we each dwell and each maintain our families.
We offer a final salute to those who stand among the most courageous and fearless among us - these Dallas heroes who gave their very lives keeping others safe.

YOU DO NOT GRIEVE ALONE

You do not grieve alone, you do not grieve alone

In the sorrow of this tragedy, you do not grieve alone


Senseless acts of violence shake us to the core

Family, friends and loved ones, not with us anymore

Tragedy that goes beyond the why of reason fair

We pray that you can bear the pain and rise above despair chorus


Too small these words to comfort loss or heal the ache of grief

Too small what we can say or do and yet we try to speak

We hold you tender in our hearts, ever know we care

For love will dawn through darkest night, as in your grief we share chorus


There’s a place beyond our sorrow where tears become new day

Where you again will learn to laugh and even dance and play

A place of hope where cherished memories of love can be

A place to which we will prevail and wake with Spirit free chorus


In the sorrow of this tragedy, you do not grieve alone

“with love and gratefulness”

My heartfelt sympathies go out to all of the grieving family members and friends of these brave men. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13. Jesus said “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

27 “Yes, Lord, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” John 11:25-27
