I was thiinking of both you and PO Hauser while sitting in church today. I was watching all the smiling, happy faces as the little flowers were passed out to all the moms. The minister was trying to thread in bible passages to coincide with Mothers Day and encouraging all the children to help their mothers. But I did not hear it. I was thinking about the two of you, your plans to spend the day after work and all the days afterwards. Then I had a tear or two and had to stop thinking about it before I would be noticed. I remembered the evening news on one particular Morthers Day years ago reporting two policeman died while helping a mother trying to control her out of control grandson. I knew I had to come here and thank each of you and offer my thanks and condolences to your family and friends.

I cannot believe it has been 21 years since you and your partner were tragically shot down that fateful night. That incident proves the dangers encountered in police work on the most common of calls. Thank you for your service.

Your heroism and service is honored today on the 20th 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 who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer. He was shot twice when ambushed on April 23rd when he was on a foot pursuit of two bank robbers, 15 years after you were killed.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. I pray for solace for those who miss and love you.

Rest In Peace.

Just wanted to stop by and reflect for a few moments about you and PO Hauser. Was driving down Harlem Ave. the other day and looked the 1/2 block to the East, to where it all started. Probably at the time anyway, one of the safest areas of the city. Proof of the ever present danger of domestic disputes. PO Bone had a tough call to make and got it right. That doesn't mean we have to like it. RIP, your sacrifice and that of your family and fellow officers is not forgotten.

The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Brother Kilroy,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue
