17 year's

[P5Ret]

Today 4/25 marks 17 years since my friend, coworker, and just plain one of the best cops I have ever known was killed in the line of duty along side U.S.101. Not a day goes by that Dave is not in my thoughts. I am happy to have know him, worked with him and to have had him as my friend.

I am bitter that his admitted murderer has not gone to trial, despite admitting to the shooting, he sits at a state mental hospital. Every time they try to bring him to trial he refuses his meds and is judged incompetent, dragging out what degree of closure there is left for the family. I know that there is no true justice that the court can deliver for the loss that so many suffered through that day, but there can be closure to a long journey that no one wanted to take. I pray that one day it may happen.



Sorry for the rant, I needed to get that out and figured most would understand.

RIP, I believe we all have friends we think of. If he is in your thoughts he is lucky to have you as a friend.

P5, I read the info that LtJim linked and your friend sounds like he was an overall great guy. My your friend RIP, and know that even after all these years that he is not and will not be forgotten. Also, be assured that the murderer will eventually be seen as a manipulator and will be dealt with accordingly. Prayers for you, and your friends family.
