Another brave soldier in the never ending war on criminals in our country has been brutally murdered by a cowardly thug. I hope and pray that the people supporting the killer will come to the realization that police are NOT the enemy, and that perhaps the street role models and thugs who taught them about life are terribly wrong in their twisted views on our society. Officer SANTIAGO, may the memory of your service, heroism and sacrifice remain forever. You are a true HERO that has made the ultimate sacrifice in service to your community. May God bless you, your family and fellow officers in the Jersey City Police Department.

Rest in peace young brother, we have the watch now. Thank you for your service albeit cut short by your murderer. Thank goodness his reign of terror was stopped that morning as well. God bless the family, friends, and co-workers of Officer Santiago during this time of tragic and senseless loss. Prayers for God's protection for the officers in Jersey City, as well as officers not only in New Jersey but all across our great nation as there have been threats of violence against police officers by the gang members of the CRIPS gang of which Officer Santiago's murderer was affiliated. Please be careful out there, wear your vest, and be ever vigilant until this threat is knocked back.

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

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Officer Santiago, 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 Officer Santiago 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.
