To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 47th anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to be among the first to leave a tribute to you. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace. I am sorry that there has been no justice for you or your family in this realm.

Sgt. Root,
On today, the 40th anniversary of your murder, I would like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Duluth. I agree completely with the person who left the previous reflection-how could these two scumbags get away with murder?

R.I.P.

I was reading a book and when I read the story, I thought about the 40 year old civil rights murder that eventually convicted an 80 year old man. How come you guys havent pursued this murder of an fellow officer. I know it has been almost 40 years but "justice" should have no time limit. The former teenagers who are now grown should face some kind of punishment.
