I was at your funeral brother and while it was emotionally brutal it was a law enforcement display of honor that was bestowed on your family and your department. My agency lost two officers in this violent way during my career and I will never forget how I personally felt and how the family felt to see that sea of blue in full colors to escort the family and the agency outside the church and cemetery. I know your family and agency felt that same amount of honor on your day. Rest in peace Brother!

My God Bless the officer that was taken and no one has the right to take anyone's life and if you can take someone's life you should be able to take whatever punishment is given. Act like a man then be punished like one.

Thank you for your service to the whole nation. Sgt, Your Commitment to your Community's safety is a testament to who you were as a Policeman. The fact that a 14 year old is charged brings me to the question of where the role models in this kid's life are. I am not making a excuse just speaking on fact that parents are charged with rising young boys that Respect Human life and even more that of a Police Officer. I Pray for the Sgt. and his loved ones. He made the Ultimate Sacrifice for the safety of the nation not just NJ because when a Police Officer is lost in, the line of duty it's a national loss not just local.

The loss of Officer in New Jersey is biter. It tears at fabric of Nations flag evetime there is a death of officer.
Sergeant Azcona had served with the Newark Police Division for five years, the last two as a detective. He is survived by his mother, father, and five siblings.

Now, my job begins to write letter to detail the suffering of this Officer, and why these Detainee, should not receive parole

Joey thank you for everything you did for us veterans at the East Orange Veterans hospital. I appreciate the talks we had and your advice. I remember being homeless as a disabled veteran and feeling suicidal in Newark, NJ. You stepped in with caring arms and a beautiful smile
