View all 8 ReflectionsOfficer Kennedy, for those who may have escaped any type of justice for this cowardly and senseless act, they surely faced a much higher authority and justice at a later time and in a different place. Thank you for your service and rest in peace always knowing that your sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten by your law enforcement brethren.
