Officer Down Memorial Page

I never had the pleasure of seeing your face, hearing your voice, or experiencing all the interactions between a grandfather & grandson, but i miss you all the more for it. You were gunned down in the prime of life 15 years before I was born. You are not forgotten and are my hero even though we never met. May your memory be in the hearts & minds of all who knew you and rest in the arms of Jesus forever. Your grandson David Pracht 03/08/2012

You will always remain an honorable man, a beautiful person taken from your family far too young by scum. It pains me to see them glorified. You own a piece of all our hearts. I am sure that time has not erased your memory in the hearts of those who love you.

Patrolman Wheeler,
The scene of your murder is shown in the Bonnie and Clyde movie and it sickens me everytime I see it. Two officers offering assistance just to be "gunned down" by two pieces of scum!
R.I.P. Sir.

R.I.P Patrolman Wheeler. It is a shame that Bonnie and Clyde(and the whole Barrow gang) are often mythologically viewed as a "Robin Hood/romantic" type entity. They should always be seen as what they were: cold blooded killers who took the lives of good peoplew such as yourself. Again...R.I.P.

I never knew you,you passed 22 years before I was born. but came to find out that you were my GrandFather James Robert Wheeler's first cousin. He never mentioned painful things of days past. However, I know now that he honored you in the way he lived his life and the way he loved his family. I am truly proud to be a member of the Department which you so honorably served

No justice in this world! Bonnie and Clyde were "immortalized" by Hollywood, this brave lad forgotten.
