My deepest sorrow for the family and fellow officers who served with this hero. May God watch over the family and give the some sense of peace during this time of mourning. We have got to stop this madness that is going on. Too many of our finest are being taken.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office. Our country is much less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother.

Oh, I am deeply saddened and sorry for what you are going through. Our family has gone through the same tragedy and I know that there are not enough condolences in the world to take away the aching in your soul right now. I pray that comfort comes to you quickly and eases your burden. Know that your husband will never be forgotten for giving his service and his life and you will never be forgotten for your sacrifice. May God give you the peace that this world cannot give.

A PART OF AMERICA DIED....

Somebody killed a policeman today .... And a part of America died…. A piece of our country he swore to protect .... Will be buried with him at his side.... The beat that he walked was a battlefield too,.... Just as if he had gone off to war, .... Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half-mast .... To his name they will add a gold star.... The suspect that shot him will stand up in court .... With counsel demanding his rights,.... While a young widowed mother must work for her kids .... And spend many long, lonely nights... .. Yes, somebody killed a policeman today…. Maybe in your town or mine,.... While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors.... A cop put his life on the line.... Now his ghost walks the beat on a dark city street, .... And he stands at each new rookie's side; .... He answered the call… of himself gave his all,.... And a part of America died.
