RIP Officer Martin and my condolences to his family. He was a hero who didn't deserve what happened to him. In all fairness, I wish the perp got the same life sentence that PO Martin got, although I know that would never happen. Rest In Peace.

I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

I was also class of '82 .The story of Billy was told as a cautionary tale .Never underestimate a derelict. I was glad to hear Billy was able to walk his daughter down the aisle . His name is on the wall in 1PP. God rest your soul. Your story saved many rookie Transit Cops.

We cannot fully honor our heroes of the present without paying tribute to our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 7th anniversary year 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.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. You fought such a long battle, and I am sure your family fought it with you. May God bless them.

Rest In Peace.

Your agency is now a part of history and you are a part of that agency's history, but in the worst way. You did your job knowing the risks and even after a violent attack, you never gave up, hanging on bravely for an additional 30 years. You are truly a hero.

God Bless, Brother and may you forever Rest in Peace.
