Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I remember this day as if were yesterday. As it happened less than 2 miles from my home. I was just a little girl and we traveled that road and passed by that home , where Robert's life was taken so quickly and senseless, almost every week. Even after the arrest I was often frightened passing by. Robert was related to us some how and I just thought this man must really hate us to take his life like that. I served this country for 28 years and I've never forgotten the sacrifice you made in your line of duty. So my most heartfelt salute to you. Even though I saw death and destruction daily for few tours of duty. I respect and understand better than most when people say "All gave some some gave ALL". Thank you for the sacrifice of your all. You will always be remembered.

Like a comet Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

Like a rainbow Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon

Shiny and sparkly And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

Rest in Peace Big Brother....

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 28th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was murdered on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace.

"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.
