Officer Diller and your family, Department and Brothers are in my prayers. Brother you were taken to soon. It is said that God has a plan for us all, but it doesn't make this any easier. I lived through being shot twice returned fire killing my assailant, a convicted felon. Had to retire from this after 32yrs. Brother I would gladly swap places with so you could be with your family and one year old. I see the young officers being murdered in the Line of Duty that have just started their life ,and I think it's not fair that I lived and you don't .It hurts me to my soul.Thank you Brother you are never forgotten.

Godspeed Officer Diller We have lost another GOOD MAN. We have a responsibility to honor your memory by doing or best to protect the officers serving now and in the future, including K9 & Equine. We must stand up vigorously to the evil in our society, and I am not just referring to the criminals & thugs, but to the DA's, Mayors, legislators, State Reps, Senators & to our very own voters to create awareness around safety for officers, equals safety in our streets. Be bold, be brave people. The time for silence has come to an end . LAW ENFORCEMENT NEEDS US TO PROTECT & DEFEND THEM FOR A CHANGE.
Heartfelt condolences.
