This is so unacceptable. These brave officers are trying to defend our lives. And a few undesirables end their lives. Thanks for you giving the ultimate sacrifice. And may justice be done to those who did this.

You put your life on the line everyday to protect others. You leave your family nights, weekends, holidays and special occasions. You were in a thankless job, however that didn't matter to you because you were one of the chosen few who could serve and protect, life and property without being appreciated for everything you did. You made the ultimate sacrifice.
You will be missed and the animal who took your life will be judged by his creator.
May God take you in his arms and protect your family forever.
You are a hero and an inspiration to your brother and sister officers to walk in your shadow.
I as a retired brother officer thank you from the bottom of my heart.
