Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Deeply sorrowful, I leave another reflection about a brave soldier killed by a cowardly enemy. I hope the community will show appreciation for the sacrifice Detective WALKER has made, and outrage for this violent attack. To the citizens in this community, I ask that you do your civic duty and punish this ruthless criminal for the brutal murder of this brave Detective. With swift justice, sentence this murderer to the most severe penalty. Detective WALKER, may the memory of your service, heroism and sacrifice remain forever. May God bless you, your family and fellow officers in the Miami Police Department.

All mankind will pass, it takes a REAL man to pass standing up for what he believes in. That's exactly what you did.

Our deepest condolences go out to the Walker family. Know that those of us here in Gainesville, Jacksonville, and Oklahoma are newly saddened by the news of James' death. We did not have confirmation until today March 28th. We were hoping when we heard the news that it was not the James we loved. We love you.

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Detective Walker 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 Detective Walker has made, the house of freedom is stronger, sturdier, and more secure.

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Detective Walker, 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 Detective Walker 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.

For those who pledge to uphold it, Freedom requires a sacrifice the protected will never know.

Somebody killed a policeman today,
and part of america died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect will be buried at his side.
The suspect that shot him will stand in court with counsel demanding his rights.
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids, and spend many long lonely nights.
The beat that he walked was a battle field too, just as if he had gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation wont fly at half mast, to his name they will add a gold star.
Yes somebody killed a policeman today,
in your 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 rookies side.
He answered the call
of himself gave his all
AND A PART OF AMERICA DIED.

R.I.P. Brother walk the beat on the heavenly streets we will take it from here.
