Reflections for Detective Brian Raymond Moore
Detective Moore, i'm sorry for what happened to you on that day 10 years ago, as you did not deserve it. The man who killed you was nothing short of a coward, as he really didn't have a reason to do what he did. But nonetheless, you've been avenged in death as he was sentenced to life without parole, meaning he's been sealed away permanently for his actions. Although justice has been served, it still doesn't change the fact that there's people out there who are truly possessed by so much evil and wrath, that they have to take it out on others including law enforcement, which does not make sense in the slightest. But despite that, you were one of the brave officers, as you were strong enough to fight death for 2 days until your passsing, which says alot about what kindof person you were. On top of that you spent nearly 5 years with the NYPD, as from what i learned it was something you wanted to do at a young age, which was to protect and serve, meaning you were chosen to do what you were called to do. Although your career was short, i believe you did alot during your time as an officer, as i read you were already at over 100 arrests, which in itself is an impressive record along with the fact some members of your family were police officers, which i believe is what inspired you. Although i never knew you or met you, i think you were a good person to meet and talk to, as you were still young being only 25 at the time of your passing, which is unfortunate. It is a shame that you were taken away by someone who was corrupted to the core with hate, since there's a chance it could've been prevented. Had that man not taken your life, i believe you'd still be one of the good cops in law enforcement, since you proved to be one of the cops who were truly dedicated and passionate in their career, as some aren't as passionate or serious about it, but you proved by your service and selflessness that you really did wanna make a difference. Rest assured, you did make a difference, as there's people out there who's lives you changed and made an impact on, and those said people can tell their story on how you were towards them and what you did, which helps keep your memory alive. As long as people remember you and say your name, you're not actually dead, as you live in the minds and hearts of others along with everyone who knew you. But as for the person who killed you however, society is much better and safer without him roaming the streets, as he really was a menace and danger to the world, as he was thankfully sealed away. However, i think it should've been best to just put him in the ground and make it easier, since he most likely won't change even if he did ever get out. The thing about criminals and individuals who harm and murder police, is they are the same people who can't take responsibility for their actions, meaning that if they were to be unleashed again into society, it would only make it worse for everyone else and they would never change. Although i myself am not a police officer in any way, i know that sometimes not everyone makes it home, as it's sad and unfortunately true. But thankfully, with your killer never being released anytime soon, i think it's safe to say that society is somewhat safer without someone like him roaming around causing issues and harming others, as it was what he knew at the time, which was to do bad things and rebel against authority. Also, karma is a very real thing, and i believe that eventually one day it will catch up to him, meaning he will pay for what he did to you, as judgement day is coming for him. Karma always reaches those who do wrong, especially those who harm police officers who are doing their job, meaning that your killer will face the consequences of what happens when you take away a member of the blue line, as your murder overall didn't need to happen. Even though you're not physically here, you're still there for your family and friends, as you're serving as their guardian angel to protect them from any harm that comes their way. I'm also certain that the residents of New York appreciated and cherished your service while you were alive, as your memory and legacy will forever be remembered as time goes on, since the impact of an officer in general is long-lasting, if not life-term, since the impact an officer makes is permanent. But as of now, may you rest in peace knowing your service in general is appreciated, and you did alot during your almost 5 years as an officer, and made an impact larger than you thought you made at the time, as your service will never be forgotten as long as time goes on, and as long as people learn about your story and know who you were, it's safe to say you won't be forgotten in general. Rest Well Mr. Moore

Romans 13:1 states "Let every person be in subjection to the superior authorities, for there is no authority except by God; the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God." It's so sad that many like the suspect who committed this senseless crime have no regard of this direct command by God to respect the secular authorities. I pray that the family, friends, and colleagues of Detective Moore find comfort in God's promise recorded at Revelation 21:3,4 "he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." My deepest condolences.
