Dennis as your next door neighbor before this happened to you and as this happened to you I just want to say that to this day I miss you you were part of my childhood before all of my troubles as a youth had you been around I may have steered clear of trouble your guidance when my mother and father used to fight and the talks you had with my father I believe stopped worse things from happening in my household I know your fellow comrades from that time Know me very well. mostly from trouble I never knew Tom Kaiser was your partner but he was a good man to who had to put up with my BS. I still remember sharing my condolences with your wife when I was at that age of 10 - 11 years old and seeing the pain in her eyes of you being gone left a mark on me that I will never forget she deserved better and I believe to this day that you are the best thing that ever happened to her and that she will always love you and you will always love her you were the best couple I ever seen interact together I remember you guys watching us on our slip and slide laughing talking that's how I remember you and I'll never forget that talk you had with me when my father hit my mother that one night it made me feel better that's the kind of person you were thank you for your service and dedication and most of all for just being who you were. the neighbor kid Ray Peterson

"I WAS A POLICE OFFICER"
"Today, I will not answer the radio call that your boyfriend has come home drunk and is beating you again. Today I will not answer the radio call that your 16 year old daughter, who is very responsible, is four hours late coming home from school. Today I will not answer the radio call that your store has been robbed or your house has been burglarized. Today I will not stop a drunk driver from killing someone. I will not catch a rapist or a murderer or a car thief. Today I will not answer the radio call that a man has a gun or tried to abduct a child or that someone has been stabbed or has been in a terrible accident. Today I will not save your child that you locked in a car or the child you were to busy to watch who went outside and fell into the swimming pool, but that I revived. No, today I will not do that.
Why? Because Today I was killed by a drunk driver while I was helping push a disabled car off the highway. Today I was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop to simply tell someone that they had a taillight out. Today I was killed in a traffic accident rushing to help a citizen. Today I was shot and killed serving a warrant on a known drug dealer. Today I was killed by a man when I came by to do a welfare check because his family was to busy. Today I was killed trying to stop a bank robbery or a grocery store robbery. Today I was killed doing my job.
A chaplain and an officer will go to a house and tell a mom and dad or a wife or husband or a child that their son or daughter or husband or wife or father or mother won’t be coming home today. The flags at many police stations were flown at half-mast today but most people won’t know why. There will be a funeral and my fellow officers will come, a twenty-one-gun salute will be given, and taps will be played as I am laid to rest. My name will be put on a plaque, on a wall, in a building, in a city somewhere. A folded flag will be placed on a mantel or a bookcase in a home somewhere and a family will mourn.
There will be no cries for justice. There will be no riots in the streets. There will be no officers marching, screaming “no justice, no peace.” No citizens will scream that something must be done. No windows will be smashed, no cars burned, no stones thrown, no names called. Only someone crying themselves to sleep tonight will be the only sign that I was cared about.
I was a police officer.” - Unknown
