Whether it's someone I know or someone from an agency far from mine, I can only offer my deepest sympathies and most sincere prayers to the family, friends and co-workers of Officer Thomas Steiner.

A Brother Warrior has fell and died today in battle.

This Brother Warrior has made the ultimate sacrifice.

He has given his life for his Fellow Warriors, his family and friends too.

Brother Warrior, pass your sword to us, so we can keep your spirit alive.

You, my Brother Warrior will not be forgotten.

God Bless you, your family and your friends.

We honor and respect all of the Fallen Warriors who have gone before us.

We ask you, Brother Warriors to guide us, protect us and pray for us.

We will meet again my Brother Warriors.

For this time not to fight another battle, but to live in eternal peace.

God bless all of the Warriors, past, present and future.

It really took the wind out of me to read about this Officer's tragic loss. I'll be polite for the sake of others who will see my reflection. I pray that the perpetrator receives his just reward. God bless the Officer and comfort his family.

We were listening to the call as it went out for assistance. Chaos. Thats all I can describe. Every surrounding city was rolling code to this and believe me when I say having this many police cars in this area at a time usually means a good thing but not in this instance. A very very sad feat of cowardism by the 16 year old kid. To be shot after a traffic hearing is the most unpredictable thing anyone can imagine. Everyone and their brother rolled to Officer Steiner's assistance in locating this suspect. And thank God he was located. All this for a gang initiation (what it looks like as far as motive). Okay now the suspect is in a gang but he wont see the light of day. And personally I hope his sentence is something that will make him suffer much like law enforcement, CHP, and Officer Steiner's family is right now. My condolences and prayers are with the CHP and Officer Steiner's family.
