An absolute travesty and crime against humanity by meaningless individuals who will no doubt be defended as the REAL victims.

Officer Preston, your career was never given a real chance. You no doubt were destined for great things and now, the City of Chicago, the Chicago PD, your family and friends are without you, and for what? NOTHING.

God Bless you, Sister and all those who will personally feel your loss, though, so long as your kept in their hearts and minds, you will never truly be gone from them. Rest in Peace.

Dear Sister,
You are a hero and I can see how proud your Mom is of you. You fought with fierce determination, and while I didn't know you personally, I know your heart was right and full of the greatness of a strong woman, scholar and police officer. To your Mom, I can't image the immense loss you feel right now. Your daughter shinned your light and we won't let that light ever be extinguished.

Peace and prayers to you, your family, friends and Police Partners.
Chicago PD, I'm saddened for your police family and the community Officer Preston serviced.
