Reflections for Trooper Russell Wynn Harper

I went to school with Trooper Harper's sons in Osceola. I was in the Navy when he died. I've-been on the Memphis Police Dept. since 1990. Russ's murder always sticks in my mind whenever I make a traffic stop, and I try to make an impression on my Trainees to get out of our squad car before the person we're stopping does, using Russ as an example of what can happen at any time. I often think of Russ and his family, and I pray God gives them peace of mind, and comfort. God Bless!!!
