Po Sledge and I worked the scooter chart together,,, Sledge was assigned to the 69, I was in HPD.... he was relentless in keeping the streets safe.
I admired his approach to police work and his dedication was unsurpased.
I lost many nights sleep after his death. Our charts overlapped except for saturday... I was RDO on that unforgettable day... Cant express how many times I would think,,, if only I was working that day....
RIP my brother...

I was there that night
Dark, snowy, cold
A passenger in my teens
Sitting at a red light in my friends new trans am
Sitting in the opposite direction
Waiting, watching horrified
A police car approaches
The police car perpendicularly blocks the car opposite us
Officer approaches the window, flashlight out
Bang Bang ohhh my god
Officer falls car reverses
Officer is lodged under his front bumper
Car speeds away
I am shocked
I open the car door and run
I am in the police car
Another car makes a u turn causing an accident
The other car pursues the shooter
I follow
What am I doing
I follow in the police car
In the snow
In the dark
In the horror
History.
Some things in life stay with you.
Sorry.

A "No parole" letter has been sent, so your cowardly killer remains locked up and denied the pleasure of living in a world that you made safe for all of us.
