How is it that several officers confront a criminal teenager and he's able to draw a gun and shoot one of them dead? What ever happened to "hands where we can see them!" and at least having a Taser drawn when approaching a suspect? I have to wonder how many lapses in proper procedure occurred here, as well as the kind of training officers are getting? This man was a husband and father and his death could well have been prevented, had he and his colleagues been more careful and better trained. How ironic that the POS felt he'd been "disrespected" and claims he was going to kill himself, yet after shooting a cop, he suddenly decided he wants to stick around. Terible tragedy, may he rest in peace.

I'm just a citizen who did not know Officer Chrinio, but what a loss to society!!!! I cried when he died and have watched his memorial service on channel 6 this morning. I am so sorry for everyone's loss.
I pray for all you officers each day that you are kept safe and for all your families. I also pray that the pond scum that killed him and his sister do 100 years + 30 or death!!!! GOD BLESS THE THIN BLUE LINE!!!!!

Yandy “Willie” Churrino,

You were more than a co-worker or colleague to so many of us. You were a friend, party starter and video guru. Hold Reigns hand for me in heaven and we’ll have some green tea shots when I see you again.

I love you man.

In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whose blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
