Marshal Clark, all these years have passed, but your name and your dedication to duty are remembered. You wouldn't recognize Black Hawk now! But, there are still committed police officers there and you partner with them on every shift, in spirit.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 140th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace.

For City Marshal Robert A. Clark:

Each of us in law enforcement has the potential to be killed by someone we arrest. Many of us run a higher risk than others. Certainly Marshal Clark ran one of the highest risks back in his day. A culprit has always been dangerous, but none more dangerous than one when the point of a gun was the only law for some. Two brothers, in this case, were really two cowards. Shooting from behind closed doors and in surprise. Cowards never change. They didn't really succeed in killing Marshal Clark, though. Having the courage to go after these two dirt-bags and facing them was the mark of a real lawman. It was the mark of a courageous hero. He might have fallen and might have bled, but he was a true law officer. He did his work from behind a badge -- not from hiding behind a door.
