We are never recognized and remain the silent heroes in which the public feels we do not deserve what we work for not knowing the dangers we face.. We are only heard of when there is a tragedy. Thank you Officer Gomm for your dedication. This NEVER should have happened! . May you rest in peace, god bless your soul

The thin blue line just got a little thinner, and the world is a dimmer place without you sir. RIP Officer Gomm, condolences to his loved ones, and Godspeed to all those who wear a badge and keep us safe. Love and appreciation from a fellow Minnesotan and backer of the blue.
If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
