All the killings were extremely sad, but officer Murphy just rips at your heart strings. Murphy and the other officer stopped their motorcycles to see if the couple in the car needed help. Instead the outlaws jump out of the car firing their 'BAR's', killing one offices right off and the the outlaw walked up to Murphy and shot several more times.
officer was getting married in the next two weeks, they just found a furnished appt. to start their new life.
Officer Murphy's wife to be wore her wedding dress to the funeral, to show the world what the barrow gang did....

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

I recently watched “The Highwaymen” which is the story of the hunt for and the eventual justice brought to Bonnie and Clyde. This film, in my humble opinion, unlike the previous movies, acknowledges and shows respect for the Law Enforcement Officers who lost their lives to these animals and does not show them to be any kind of folk hero. It was long overdue.

Though the name of each and every Officer is not mentioned, some are and I believe the sacrifice by all is honored.

God Bless you, Patrolman Murphy, and may your eternal rest remain ever peaceful, Brother.

Though your life was cut short, your memory will live on forever. You and your partner and all other law enforcement officers out there are the true heroes, those who commit these crimes are just cowards hiding behind a gun, without they are nothing. You will never be forgotten, rest in peace we'll take over your watch from here

It is so sad that the Bonnie and Clyde Gang are so well known. As a society we glorify the criminals and either ignore Hero’s like you or make the Hero’s appear like the criminals. It is very sad that the names of Bonnie and Clyde are known even to our children, when it is your name Patrolmen H. D. Murphy that should be known. You are a hero and a man to be looked up to. May you rest in peace and thank you and your family for the ultimate sacrifice. WE are a better people today because you walked among us yesterday. God Bless

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 78th 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.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Rest In Peace

You were well on your way to heroism but a Hero you were before you left us. Only 6 months of service with so much more a head, really breaks my heart Sir. You will never be forgotten. Thank you for your service.

Bedauerlich, dass sich so viele Menschen der Namen deiner feigen Mörder erinnern, obwohl du es bist, an den man sich erinnern sollte. Ruhe in Frieden!

You are a good man that was just doing his job. The job you loved im sure. I have been called to duty myself because of good people like you and your partner. If like you,one day my watch ends like yours did that day, I hope I will be known as a officer who done what was expeted and what had to be done. Without good cops like you, there is not Justice for people like Bonnie & Clyde.

Charlie Murphy was my god-father and I spent half my life with him and his wife, Maire. Charlie and my daddy shared many stories of growing up, the one I remember most was Charlie's cousin, H.D.'s death. Charlie was born 4-1-16 and we always remembered H.D. on that day, too. I just visited Old Palestine on the Linwood Crossing to honor all my dead relatives and friends. We are thankful for all the heroes in our lives.

I saw the movie, and I think that a movie should be about true heros, not cowardly dispicable human beings who had no regard for anyone but themselves.

You too, will always be remembered, but only you will be appreciated.
