Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

It was wonderful to know you as a teenager. You passed doing what you and your dad have always done, the right thing.

First and foremost, my sincere and very deep sympathies to the loved ones, and fellow officers of Detective Ridley. I pray to my Lord that He will somehow comfort you all, and help you through these very difficult times.

After that, I am afraid that the best that I can say is that I genuinely hope that there are those who can and will actually learn the very necessary lessons from this needless act. But I very seriously doubt that. Which means that attrocities like this, will only continue.

First my heart goes out to this young man's parents, he could have been my child and I know that their world has changed forever. There is no money, promotion, awards, memorials that can bring back this child. I will continue to pray for the family and more for our police officers. May the family receive the strength and peace that only comes from God.
