Reflections for Police Officer Isaac Anthony Espinoza

I'M SICK OF SEEING GOD YOUNG MEN DIE. THIS OFC SACRIFICCED HIS LIFE FOR WHAT? JUST LIKE MY COUSINN (JOE MCGARRY- MYRTLE BEACH PD 12/02). WHY DO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO SEE A GUN BEFORE WE FIRE? WE'RE HERE TO MAKE THINGS BETTER. THIS OFC IS A HERO. HE SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS SUCH. GOD BLES HIS SOUL

Once again I am sitting at my computer, fighting the lump in my throat and tears in my eyes... Another warrior lost to the inexplicable force of evil. We all know that you are better than they are.

Rest in peace, brother. We have the watch now, and we will hunt your killer to the ends of the earth. To the ends of the earth...

I had the pleasure of working with Officer Isaac Espinoza when he first transfered to Bayview Station. He was a good Officer and friend. He always had a smile on his face and had a great sense of humor. I know Isaac will always be watching us from above, trying to keep us safe. God Bless your family. May you Rest In Peace. Isaac will not be forgotten.

My heart aches for the family of Officer Espinoza, I certainly know how it feels to loose a loved one in the Line Of Duty. My son was also killed with an AK-47 (ban these type guns). One in five police officers are killed with this type gun.

May God comfort this family and guide them through their grief. I will be praying for God's peace to touch them and hold them together, for God's love to shower them with light for tomorrow and forever. God Bless You

It is at times like this when a fellow officer is slain in the line of duty, that the words to say how I feel, somehow escape me. My prayers go out to Officer Espinoza and his family. Know that god has made a place for him at his table and he will be looking down on you from heaven.

Other than the Espinoza's family, the city of San Francisco has lost a great person and Officer. May he rest in peace!

My heart goes out to the wife and daughter of Isaac A. Espinoza, as well as all coworkers, friends, and family of the great man. I was fortunate enough to know him, being the daughter of Wendy Hurley #61 of Bayview Police Station. He was always the life of the party when ever my mom would have Isaac and other friends over; he had such an ability to make people laugh and smile. He will never be forgotten, and he definitely didn't deserve to die that way. You'll be in our hearts and missed forever; we love you Isaac.

May God be you and bless your family. Off. Espinoza, you are truly one of Americas Heros. Every time an officer goes down, it saddens our hearts. We are all brothers in blue, and we all feel hollow inside. But rest assured, we will remember, and we will carry on. I only hope that the man responsible will pay for this atrosity.
God Speed , We have the watch now, Rest my brother, for you deserve it.

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003).
Unfortunately, I had to add the name of another friend. Deputy Jeffrey Hewitt, Buncombe County (NC) Sheriff’s Department, E.O.W. April 4, 2004.

I am saddened to see the death of another very young officer. We all grieve over the lives lost in the line of duty. I hope you can find some comfort knowing that there are countless prayers that go out for your family.

These are senseless tragedies that never seem to stop. God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.
