Can’t believe it’s been so many years since that horrible day. Lost two awesome Police Officers from a situation That started with a training exercise a swat officer falling out of a helicopter and injuring his leg and then passing away. From that you are doing the motorcycle leapfrog road blocking during the procession and somebody didn’t see you and hit you. Such a sad incident that could’ve been avoided and you missed every day. Very friendly and professional motors officer and may you be resting in our Lords arms comfortably while you wait for the rest of your brothers and sisters to join you. God bless you, my friend
