My heart and deepest sympathies go out to all involved this should be a lesson Dutch Brothers in blue should be courteous to one another as they are supposed to be to the citizens they watch over.
Let it be known this Christmas day you are still in our hearts and thoughts.
We actually studied this incident and my high school I couldn't believe it now and sometimes I still don't believe it when I read it.
Rest in peace and watch over us from above and wish Jesus a happy birthday from all of us Godspeed.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 84thth 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.

I was saddened to see that Christmas Day is the eow for so many, many officers, and especially sad to see that those killed in this incident worked for other leo agencies. May they all Rest In Peace.

The loss of any life for nothing is senseless. Power corrupts. May all the officers rest in peace and know that they are not forgotten .
