Reflections for Police Officer Edward R. Byrne

I was at the memorial for P.O. Byrnes today, at 107th Avenue and Inwood Street, which marked the 25th Anniversary of his shooting. What happened to Eddie Byrnes is a disgrace, while he was serving and protecting this city. I never had the priviledge of working with him but I have been told over and over again what a good cop he was. I pray that God should keep him close.

I was a Police Officer in NYC at the time for a little over 3 years (seems like yesterday). I worked in the Queens Task Force at the time and spent many tours in 103 Pct. The animals that killed Eddie should never be released from prison. God rest Edward Byrne and his family. President Bush still has Eddie's shield that was giving to him by Mr. Byrne's

Eddie may we all continue to keep you and all our fallen brothers and sisters in our prayers. May those who do harm to us one day see the Lord and ask for his forgiveness. I myself have forgiven them who did you harm but they are forgiven behind bars since I won't forget!

I still remember that early morning when we got notified via central of this cold blooded act. All of the precints in the city came off meal including myself and we went looking for these animals!

RIP Eddie, I only knew you a short time in the 103. I pray for you and your family often. The murderous scum that took your life have a bigger problem than spending this life in jail ( which they all fully deserve). Upon all of your deaths, may the lord Jesus Christ, give each of you what you earned on this earth, eternity in hell!!
