Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

As someone who is retired from both the United States Marine Corps Reserve and Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), each time that I pass the memorial sign on the 91 Freeway, I still become enraged at the fact that so-many died at the hands of a former LAPD Cop.

(May You Rest-in-Peace........)

Officer Crain,
On today, the 10th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the USMC. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I was still living in Riverside that year - across the street from my former school, La Sierra University. That night, I hadn’t been sleeping well and was randomly woken up by what I thought was simply a car backfiring or tire blowout - being that close to the 91, you hear a lot of things every day. Well, when I woke up at my usual time for the work day, I was scrolling through news and discovered that what I heard during the night was actually those gunshots. I still get chills & tears, knowing how close I was to one of these shootings from that awful week. (Once the chase led them to the cabin, those officers had been treated at the med center affiliated with my other school: Loma Linda University.) RIP Officer Crain…and RIP to the other officers lost that week. You’ll never be forgotten.

The news of this shocked me to my core. To think that a man who whose responsibilities were to protect and serve us could do something like this is just unthinkable. My heart goes out to Officer Crain's family, and to all of the men and women of the Riverside Police Department. R.I.P Officer Crain. Semper Fi.
