I heard on the news that you were promoted to Sergeant after your death. You deserve as many honors as you can get. You gave your life so that the rest of us could be safe. I no longer work for a police department but that doesn't stop the pain. I never knew you and still I cry for you and your family.

God Speed Sergeant McDonald.

Yestorday i stood on the side of I95 as the body of Sgt. Patrick McDonald passed me by along with many many brave men and women. I could only find myself start to cry for a man whom i never even known. 30 years old, 5 years older then myself and his life taken from him from someone who never in my opinion deserved to one day outside those prison walls. I can only imagine what his family and loved ones are feeling. As i stood on the side of the road crying for a man who i never even knew i thought to myself now how can people see these men and women as bad? as monsters to our community? Sgt Patrick McDonald died doing what he loved to do. Saving the rest of us from what walks these streets. I will forever remember the man which whom i never even knew. God Bless you Sgt. May your soul rest in eternal peace.

Today I had the honor of escorting your funeral procession. Motor units as for away as Cincinnati, OH came to pay their respects for a fellow motor cop as well as thousands of other law enforcement officers. It was deeply moving and a great show of support that is much needed for the PPD. 5 Philadelphia officers killed in the line of duty in the last two years, and many others in the Philadelphia region seriously wounded by people who should have never been on the streets.

Unfortunately I never had the honor of meeting Pat. But his existence will not be forgotten by anybody even if you didnt know who he was, whether you're a cop or not. We're all part of a brotherhood fighting for the same cause. Thanks Pat for your dedication and commitment to the dapartment, the city, your family, your unit and most of all.... the cause..... of what police do on an every day to day thing...... fighting crime!!

My thoughts and prayers go out to the McDonald family, friends and co-workers. I am deeply hurt by yet another Philadelphia police officer who has been killed in the line of duty, but this particular police officer hurts more because I knew Pat personally. He was a kind hearted, care free individual who loved being a police officer. Thank you Pat for protecting me and all of Philadelphia, you will be deeply missed. Rest in peace Pat for you are a true hero......
