Deputy Bates, a police officer should be remembered not by how he died but by how he lived! A brave man has left to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you for your 31 years of law enforcement service, to your family, and to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!
