SOME DAY , SOCIETY WILL REALIZE HOW HARD IS TO BE ON THIS LANE OF WORK, DANCING WITH THE DEAD EVERY DAY , WILLING TO GIVE YOUR LIFE IN ORDER TO SAVE AN OTHER HUMAN BEING LIFE ......
WILLING TO DIE FOR SOME ONE, WHO YOU NOT EVEN KNOW... IT IS REALLY HEROIC AND SELFLESS
I WISH SOCIETY GAIN AWARENESS OF THIS HEROES AND VALUE THEIR WORK AND SACRIFICE THEY DO, TO FOR US .
"NO MORE OFFICERS DOWN" SHOULD BE ,EVERY CITY SLOGAN AND EVERY CITY SHOULD MAKE IT MANDATORY IN EVERY CLASS ROOM TO REMEMBER THIS PHRASE EVERY DAY .....
"NO MORE OFFICERS DOWN"
that will be our respect and honor to all the Officers

I was saddened to see that this young mother and officer died at such a young age without having the opportunity to watch her child grow up. My prayers go out to her family and fellow officers who are grieving. Stay safe and know that your service is appreciated.

I just watched the evening news and saw Officer Vega's grandsons and another family member talking about Officer Vega and it just broke my heart. My prayers are with Officer Vega and both his personal and professional families. May God keep all of you safe and give you comfort during this difficult time.

"The Thin Blue Line"

There is a line
the color of the sky
on a clear afternoon

There is a line
the hue of the ocean
on a bright sunny day

There is a line
the purest shade of a newborn's eyes
awakening for the first time

There is a line
that protects us from harm
in all we do
whether day or night

There is a line
no one can penetrate
no one can alleviate

There is a line
made of those who choose
to follow a calling many do not hear
and still more do not comprehend

They choose to walk
the path of fear, hate, and mistrust
taken by so few
but marked by so many

And when one leaves this line
they leave a legacy
but the line does not break
for the remaining must still protect

There may be emptiness
a loss, or sadness
but never a hole
not in this line

This line that holds
the ghosts of the souls who have gone
and the souls of the ghosts who will be
The Thin Blue Line

It is so sad to hear of a loss like this for someone doing their job, even if you don't know them. When you find out that it is someone who is very special to someone that you knew well, it is beyond anything you could express. I went to high school & college with Lesley's "grandfather-in-law" back in the Joliet, Illinois area. I cannot comprehend how or what they are going thru right now. My deepest condolences to the family. Stay strong for each other.

A PART OF AMERICA DIED....

Somebody killed a policeman today .... And a part of America died…. A piece of our country he swore to protect .... Will be buried with him at his side.... The beat that he walked was a battlefield too,.... Just as if he had gone off to war, .... Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half-mast .... To his name they will add a gold star.... The suspect that shot him will stand up in court .... With counsel demanding his rights,.... While a young widowed mother must work for her kids .... And spend many long, lonely nights... .. Yes, somebody killed a policeman today…. Maybe in your town or mine,.... While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors.... A cop put his life on the line.... Now his ghost walks the beat on a dark city street, .... And he stands at each new rookie's side; .... He answered the call… of himself gave his all,.... And a part of America died.

I truly cannot find the proper words to convey my sorrow for your loss.
To the family, my heart goes out to you and all I can offer is my prayers.
For her young child who has so briefly known a mothers love, I pray for a life filled with love, health, and happiness.
Maybe one day when you grow up you can read all these testimonials and know what a hero your mom truly was.
As a young father I hope the dark days are over for you soon. Your little one, I pray will be a distraction to help get you through this.
To the family of Officer Zerebny and the Palm Springs PD I will always remember your outstanding courage and commitment to our safety. Know that I support you and will always be thinking of you.
With heartfelt thanks and respect.
