Reflections for Trooper Ulis Floyd

Thank you for your heroic service, Trooper! It's beyond evil how any reasonable jury could exonerate these evil reprobates who came to your home to commit murder, then murder you and your son. Your state and its citizens failed you, but you did not fail them.

I am the granddaughter of Ulis Floyd, Georgia L. Floyd. My Grandfather and uncle (my fathers twin) passed before I was born. I remember gong to my fathers home in Louisiana, as a child. The bullet holes where still in the front of the house, and the front window was broke from a bullet. We would sit on the front porch in rocking chairs my family and grandmother, and listen to the thounder and lighting and watch it rain. We would listen to the bob whites call and we would wistle back. My grandmother has 102 years old when she passed away. She was the strongest woman I have ever met to this day. She worked at the senior center till she was 99 years old, teaching ceramics to the seniors. I cant imagine lossing your husband and son together the same day and living to be 102 years old. God rest your soles, Momo Papa and uncle. Your family is together in heaven!

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 60th anniversary 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

The circumstances of your death was horrible, I cannot imagine the suffering your family must have suffered, and then to have justice denied you was another blow.

Rest In Peace.

In memory of both you and your son. I too am angered that your murderers never saw justice done on this earth.

When calamity comes, the wicked are brought down, but even in death the righteous have a refuge - Proverbs 14:32.

Both of you are remembered.

Trooper Floyd,
On today, the 56th anniversary of your murder, I would like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of the state of Louisiana. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. I think it was a travesty of justice that your murderers were acquitted.

R.I.P.

Your picture is displayed in our home for your great grandchildren to admire. Although we never had the chance to meet you, we are very proud of you. Maybe one day justice will be served. May you rest in peace Grandfather...

Not that an officers death is anything less than tragic, but this is quite horrific and disturbing all the way around. With Trooper Floyd's son also being taken away to the suspects being acquitted, it is just simply tragic. You are a true hero sir and will always be remembered as such.

I was dismayed when I read this one on the LSP's homepage. Wonder why the guys got off? Could it have been some kind of good ole boy justice thing? Like the jury was bribed or something?

Anyway, Trooper Floyd Rest in peace sir!
