May God comfort your family & help them through this tragedy. Time doesn't heal your pain but you do finally manage to work around it and learn how to put it aside sometimes. Know that you are not alone & other survivors will pray for you & help in any way we can. It's other survivors who have helped me get through my tragedy and move on as best I can. God be with the officers who tried to help this fallen officer.

Andre, we laid you our brother to rest today. We'll miss you on A-platoon bro. Your smile and positive attitude will be sorely missed. You died doing the job you wanted to do. We are very proud to have worked with you. The pain on our shift and within the division will ease with time but we'll never forget you. I only wish that we had had more time. God Bless You.

May your family and friends take comfort in the numerous thoughts displayed on this page. I can only imagine how hard it has to be to deal with. You must know that God is with you. Your brothers in blue appreciate the ultimate sacrifice you gave. Each of us face situations every day that could end perilously, but God sees fit to let us protect and serve another day. I now have another guardian angel that is watching over me.

I only wish that more officers could have your attitude and outlook on life. May God bless you. May God give your family and friends the strength to get through what has happened.

The thin blue line is thinner today, but its mystery is that it will never disappear. As long as there are men and women willing to pin the badge on everyday and walk through the "valley of the shadow of death", the thin blue line survives! My condolences to the family, friends and coworkers of Officer Booker.

Lt. T.D. Barge
East Point Police Department, East Point, Ga.

My sincere condolences to the family, friends, and department of Officer Booker. You left doing what you wanted to do, and you'll carry that drive with you, and leave your example behind for others.

To the friends and family of Ofc Booker my thoughts and prayers go out to you this day... I pray you will find strength and peace in the memory of Ofc Booker.

Senior Patrol Officer K. Armstrong
Anchorage Police Dept

To the family and friends of Officer Booker, no words can ease the pain of losing him. My prayers and thoughts go out to you at this time. To the officers at the scene, who valiantly risked their own lives to save your fellow brothers, rest easy. You gave more than 100%, and I'm sure that Andre knows that, and no one will ever doubt that.
Though I did not know him, I mourn his loss and will pray and think about him. God bless you all and be safe. The N.Y.P.D. is sad today and is there for anyone who needs it. On behalf of the entire 30,000 sworn officers, our deepest sympathies.
