Indeed there is no greater disruption to the concept of law and order than the murder of a police officer and certainly no event that more galvanizes law enforcement.

You'll be missed Erik.

Once again the black hand of death reaches out and pulls another one of our brothers in Law Enforcement away. It is so sad to hear of the loss of a Brother-in-Law. Those of of at the Police Dept. in Montgomery Al. are tearful to hear of the loss of antoher true American Hero. To those fellow Officers left to carry on I say to you keep your heads up and continue to make Officer Hike proud to have served with you. Your continuing fight against those who commit senceless acts such as this agaist those who you swear to protect does not go unnoticed. God Bless all of you in your day to day duties and be safe.

Officer Hite,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your community, but also for our Country when you served in the USAF. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. I am a Border Patrol Agent who recently completed a 90 day assignment in Tucson and have nothing but the highest respect for the TPD and PCSO after seeing some of the neighborhoods that they have patrol.

I walked in to the Tucson Police Department head quarters today and I saw your picture. My father works as a detective there and told me the horrible news. It did not hit me until I saw your picture on the stand in the lobby. I stare at those plaques on the wall evertime I go and see my father and I pray everyday that my dad comes home safe from work (even though I'm 27 now). I sit here and cry for someone I do not know because you have done so much for our country and community. God bless you sir and thank you for your time on earth. You will be missed (sometimes by people who never had the chance to meet you). From my family "We love you and thank you for your service" you will be missed.

Erik,
Thank you for your service to our country and community. All of our prayers are with you and your family. The events that lead to your untimely passing were something that nobody could ever prepare or train for, but all of you that day stepped up and did what you could to protect the community and innocent people, as well as your brother officers. Officers like you make me proud to be in this profession and proud to step in the line of fire every day we put a badge on. Rest in peace brother.
