As I check this site daily, I hope there will be no new names added. This is yet another loss to our Police family and your "Brothers" from all over this country are grieving your loss. I'm confident, through the determination of your co-workers, that "justice" will be brought to the COWARD who did this. Thank you for your service to your country and to the community you served. Rest In Peace.

Another hero called home to early. AS our family continues to pick up the pieces, another family is shattered. Officer Lindsey, a marine a brother in blue. You are now enshrined as a true American hero. Not by your death, but by the life you lived. My brother will be there to greet you in that special place in heaven. Rest my friend.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Officer Lindsey and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of justice and peace. Sadly, our nation has lost one of its finest citizens, a community has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage who they will love and respect forever. Today, because of the sacrifice Officer Lindsey has made, the house of freedom is stronger, sturdier, and more secure.

To the family and friends of Officer Lindsey, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to move on. Just as you were always with him when he walked the beat or patrolled the streets, know that he will always be with you - wherever you may be. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Officer Lindsey is a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

“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.

"A Part of America Died"

Somebody killed a policeman today
and apart of America died,
A piece of our country he swore to protect
will be buried with him at his side,
the suspect that shot him will stand up in court
with counsel demanding his rights,
while a young widowed mother must work
for her kids and spend many lonely night
The beat that he walked was a battle field too,
just as if he'd gone off to war,
Though the flag of our nation wont fly half mast,
to his name they will add a gold star,
Yes, somebody killed a Policeman today,
in your home town or mine,
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors,
a cop put his life on the line,
Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street
and he stands at each new rookies side,
He answered the call,of himself gave his all,
And a Part of America Died.
Here at the Canon City Internet Radio, we hope these few words will be some sort of comfort in days to come. It is so hard to put into words what other friends, and loved ones have to say at this tragic time.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Canon City, Colorado
