RIP Officer Cram..... Condolences to the department, friends, & especially family.
So saddened that we have a population who does not understand the bravery and sacrifices these officers make each and every day. As we see, the possibility of loss of life is an everyday reality. Let's do what we can to support those who are currently on the streets in what appear to be increasingly difficult circumstances.

Most people run away from danger. Police Officers run toward it every single day. This officer knew the risks. But he chose to protect the public over his own personal safety. May he rest in peace knowing he did his duty honorably and bravely.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.
I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.
