Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Sergeant Young and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever. Today, because of the sacrifice Sergeant Young has made, the house of freedom is stronger, sturdier, and more secure.

To the family and friends of Sergeant Young, I want to say that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to move on. Just as you were always with him when he walked the beat or patrolled the streets, know that he will always be with you - wherever you may be. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Sergeant Young is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Finally those responsible will be prosecuted. Good work by all the past and present officers and prosecutors that have never forgotten your sacrifice and never gave up.

Hopefully, justice will prevail for you sarge. Its great to see that even after so many years, you are not forgotten and your case left unsolved on some back shelf. You deserve it. Here's hoping for many convictions!!

SARGE,
JUST WHEN THOSE GUYS WERE RESTING EASY, THINKING THEY GOT AWAY WITH IT, YOUR BROTHERS NEVER RESTED. FOR 36 YEARS THEY WORKED ON THIS CASE, NEVER LETTING UP. IT PAID OFF! THEY GOT 'EM. NOW THEY WILL FACE JUSTICE.
HERE'S THE KICKER. THIS DIRTBAGS LAWYER CALLED THE ARRESTS A "PROSECUTION BASED ON VENGEANCE AND HATE FROM THE 60's. THERE'S A LAW ENFORCEMENT ATTITUDE THAT THEY HATE THESE PEOPLE, THE PANTHERS. NOW THEY'RE GOING AFTER OLD MEN". CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS? WHAT DOES IT MATTER HOW OLD THEY ARE? WHAT DOES IT MATTER THAT THIS MURDER OCCURED 36 YEARS AGO. THEY MURDERED A POLICE OFFICER, AND NO MATTER HOW LONG AGO, THEY MUST PAY. NOW THEY WILL.

THANK YOU TO ALL THAT WORKED ON THIS CASE. JOB WELL DONE!

SERGEANT YOUNG, NEVER FORGOTTEN.

You were not forgotten. Todays headlines read: SAN FRANCISCO - Eight men were arrested Tuesday in the 1971 slaying of a police officer that authorities say was part of a black power group's five-year campaign to kill law enforcement officers in San Francisco and New York.
Rest in peace brother.

They got them! May justice now be served. Thank you for everything you did and watching over your brothers and sisters in blue.

January 23, 2007

I read in the paper that police have charged someone in your murder. I can only hope justice will prevail and they will pay for their violent acts against you and several other officers. Even though many yrs have passed, it is good to know that your fellow officers are still trying to solve your murder. As the saying goes, gone but not forgotten.

Thank you for the time you spent on the street, Sergeant Young. Though it may have been a short time, every day you worked was important. Everyday we log onto this site and see that another brother or sister has given their all, it bothers us. But this is the profession that you chose, not to be a hero, but simply to do your part. God speed, dear one, and watch over the rest of us carrying on our duty. To the family you will always be in our prayers, for you are part of a bigger family. Watch over us and pray for us, sir. We will meet someday. We love you.
