I was just 9 years old when this happened and I still remember it. Ross ran southeast and was captured near my grandparents' home.

Unlike today's system, Ross met his fate quickly so it provided a clear lesson of the consequences for his actions.

I read his daughter's reflection and could not help thinking that, no matter how swift the punishment for Ross, it could never replace what she and her brother lost. It made me think of all that had been lost by so many families of police officers. What made me angrier was the attitude of a large part of today's society that disrespects and even targets police. Blue lives DO matter, dammit.

I am the daughter of Forney Haas. I live in Phoenix Arizona. Not a day goes by that I don't miss my dad ando
wonder what my life would have been it he was still alive.
I was 14 years old that day. Life changed for us at thatj
minute. My brother still lives in Cleveland.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 60th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace

At least the suspect was executed, and it was as a result of his print left on the weapon. Thank you for your brave spirit and dedication to the community you served.

My parents told me the story of a Cleveland police officer killed in the line of duty. This officer was also a photographer and had taken my baby pictures. My uncle served with Officer Haas for CPD. I can finally put a face and name with that story. My condolences to his family even after all these years
