For Corporal James O’Conner:

Our duty as police officers involves high risk and many times at a moment’s notice. For some of us an entire career may pass without a single confrontation, and yet others face multiple encounters of deadly resistance by lawless individuals.
We regret that James would be the next police officer to die at the hands of a coward who would shoot through a door at whom ever may stand beyond it - the specific act of a reckless low-life without a care beyond himself.
Our hearts go out to James’ family, including his police officer son, at this very sad time.
We proudly render Corporal James O’Conner, a soldier-of-the-law, a final salute.

Cpl. Ralph D.Fiorenza, Ret.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

Abraham Lincoln

End of Watch Friday, March 13, 2020.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.
