Officer Down Memorial Page

While reviewing which officers I had overlooked in the past, I reread the reflection I had left here on a previous occassion. It was inaccurate. It wasn't a bus driver and I apologize to you for such an oversight and error.

Whether or not people agreed with the bussing situation in Boston at the time, the reactions and actions of some was despicable. Children were targeted with rocks and hate for something they had no control over. Sad too was the fact that, not only innocent children suffered at the hands of these scum, but Police Officers too became victims. You, Detective Creamer are a prime example. A good man with a long career should have been able to retire and live out the rest of his days resting on the laurels of a job well done. But thanks to the bitterness and inexcusable acts of a few, you didn't have that chance.
Your sacrifice makes you a martyr; your life makes you a hero.
God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
