“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.

HERO'S" THAT'S ALL THAT CAN BE SAID.ITS SCARY ENOUGH TO PURSUE AN ARMED FELON EVEN (WHEN ARMED YOURSELF) BUT FOR THESE TWO HEROES TO CHASE THIS PIECE OF HUMAN WASTE UNARMED IS TOTALLY HEROIC.THERE ARE NOT TOO MANY NEW YORKERS OUT THERE WHO WOULD HAVE THE GUTS TO DRESS UP IN A REAL POLICE UNIFORM UNARMED AND UNPAID TO PROTECT THIS CITY. BAD ENOUGH, THE REAL POLICE IN THIS CITY ARE NEARLY WORKING FOR FREE BECAUSE OUR LOVELY CITY PAYS THEM GARBAGE!!DONATIONS SHOULD BE MADE BY STORE OWNERS AND CIVILIANS OF THIS SO CALLED GREAT CITY TO PURCHASE BULLET PROOF VESTS FOR ALL THESE HEROIC AUXILIARY OFFICERS WHO PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE EVERY DAY AND NIGHT FOR FREE TO SERVE AND PROTECT BOTH GOOD PEOPLE AND ANTI-COP LIBERAL TRASH.

To the parents, family, and friends of Officer Nicholas T. Pekearo, as well as the NYPD and its Auxiliary unit, I offer my most sincere condolences.

Reading the account of how this officer as well as his partner lost their lives in addition to the pizza store victim is overwhelming. May God bless all of them.

To think that there are those who do not value a human life and believe that they have a right to end that life is incomprehensible...this was an outrageous act.

I pray that God will give all those who mourn this young officer's loss, the graces needed to cope with this tragedy.

As you face the future without his physical presence, know that he will remain with you in your heart, thoughts and memories. ODMP survivor families will also remember him...he will not be forgotten.

May God's perpetual light shine upon Officer Pekearo and may he rest in His eternal peace for having made the ultimate sacrifice in protecting and serving his community.

With my deepest sympathy.

God Knows
You have my deepest sympathy,
but it really doesn't help.
Your grief goes beyond what words can express.

There's nothing anyone can say,
and nothing we can do to heal your broken heart
or take away your pain.

Let God take you in His arms and cover you with His love.
He knows the depth of your grief
and only He can give you peace.
He knows it will take time for your heart to heal,
and your loved one has a place that no one else can fill.

If there's any comfort let it be in this,
your loved one is with Jesus,
in a home that's filled with bliss.
There are no tears in Heaven, no more heartache and no pain,
only love and happiness for all eternity.

We must go on living and do the best we can,
then when Jesus calls our name
we will be with him again.
Remember this:
There is sacredness in tears.
They are not the mark of weakness, but of power.
They speak more eloquently than 10,000 tongues.
They are the messengers of overwhelming grief,
of deep contrition, and of
UNSPEAKABLE LOVE.
Here we have not lost just one officer but two fine young men who were there in a position to help track a person that had just shot and killed a person who was working in a job that was to serve others. Officer Peakearo and his partner were doing their job and put their lives on the line to do just that. They were following an individual who had no values of life, and the consequences that his actions would bring to others.
My heart breaks to know the loss of all the family members, friends, that this act will bring.
We hope that God will wrap his loving arms around you and help all of you to get through this deep sorrow.

This is a terrible tragedy of the worst kind. God Bless you Officer Pekearo, you were a hero, and heros never die, as they are remembered as such by the people who loved them, and the people they protected. It sounds like you saved perhaps many lives last night. God Bless your family, and help them to be at peace, and to feel your love and protection around them. Family: I know you will forever be proud of this fine man, who VOLUNTEERED to help protect the city, and in doing so has made the ultimate sacrifice.
