I never got to meet Rooster but I do work for the same department that he did. I attended his ceremony and it was beautiful and touching. There were pictures and videos of how wonderful, lively, and strong he was. Rest in Peace sweet angel. You are a good boy and did a wonderful job serving the department.

I am sorry to have found this page and heard about the loss of this police officer. RIP Rooser. You were so brave, rushing straight towards the danger, to protect your fellow officers. Even when the perp had a weapon you were not afraid. You faced the evil in humanity with duty and honor and gave the ultimate sacrifice when it was asked of you.

Back when I was a young man this kind of horrific incident wouldn't have happened, but it is a different world than the one Eisenhower ran. I never thought it would be this way but this in fact the way it is now. May we pray to the LORD that no more Police Officers will be killed in the line of duty, in the USA or in my own country of German Republic.

For those of you whom you have and your fellow K9s continue to protect I say, thank you, we will always keep our ❤️s
