Officer Martin. I pray for your family. Also I pray the MAXIMUM AND MOST SUPREME SENTENCE be given to the one who did this to you and Sgt Beminio. When you put together what he did to you and his long list of other injustices, I hope and am confident this one will go straight to hell on judgement day! I don't usually come across this stern when speaking of those who break the law, but this time I could not help it. Again my prayers and support to you and your family and department. God Bless!
