View all 21 ReflectionsOfficer Lanier, today is a solemn anniversary. 22 years ago today you were murdered by a pair of meaningless thugs. I hope they paid for their crimes, your family certainly has.
I pray for your continued rest and God Bless. God keep the women and men of the CMHA Police safe as they go about their daily rounds.
