The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

May these brave police officers rest in peace. These slain officers killed by a drunk driver is exactly why the DWI laws are enforced. If any good can come from this horrible event, let it be that people STOP viewing DWI is "harmless". You now know better--and when you know better--you do better. Don't drive drunk--no matter who you are.

When any officer of Blue killed, it tars a peice of every American heart. Our Love for Police and bravery is understated just as both officer put on their uniform dressed for what should have been routine day. The drunk driver I hope gets life with Parole. My prayers to family Alberto Felix. Although he gone his love of his family will always be with you, as he left a piece of his heart ❤️.

On behalf of the Ohio Attorneys General Bureau of Criminal Identification & Investigation, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Sergeant Michael Abbate and the extended law enforcement family of the Nevada Highway Patrol, Nevada.


End of Watch Thursday, November 30, 2023.


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.
