The justice system really dropped the ball. But anyway we celebrate your life and the community was very lucky to have had you and your partner out there protecting and serving. You both were and still are top notch. You will never be forgotten. Rest in the arms of our lord

On this actual anniversary of your heroic and untimely death, I reiterate my previous reflection regarding you, Officer Masone and the numerous other LEO’s who sacrificed at the hands of these cowardly thugs. Rest in peace always knowing that your service and sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten by your law enforcement brethren.

I'm always amazed at when the topic of a biased and broken justice system comes up but it is never talked about from the view that the victims and their families are the ones who suffer from that broken system. If the argument is to be made that the justice system is broken, this is a clear cut example of that brokenness. Seven Correctional Officers dead, not only no charges for the suspect, one of several who were responsible, but a pardon and release from prison which leads to two police officers being shot and killed by the same suspect. Two trials resulting in a hung jury followed by a third trial which lead to an acquittal for the murder of two New York Police Officers, which leads to yet another murder in 1984. A conviction and sentence of 107 years in prison for that murder then leads to a parole in 2009, and somehow our justice system is broken but only because it is biased and unfair to the criminals.

To you sir and the several other brave men who sacrificed and left their families far too soon and far too young, we say THANK YOU, and know that you will never, ever be forgotten. Your assailants will surely face a higher court and form of justice at a later time in a different place. Rest in peace always!!!

Norm,

Today is 40 years that you have passed on and you will never be forgotten. I always remember all the good times we had backing each other up. All the fun days at criminal court that lasted for days back then. Those 100 hour months. Rest in peace my dear friend.
