Dying alone in an alley. I can't think of a much worse situation.

Rest easy, for you are not alone now brother. You are in the company of many great brothers and sisters officers who also gave their lives in the line of duty.

another good man we have lost in our society and community. I am not in the LEO field yet, but I do know what it feels like losing someone who is wearing same uniform as me. Rest in peace and hope we catch this scumbag ASAP.

Without going into specifics, this article is full of crap and is speculation. I have specific info from an extremely reliable source.

Phoenix PD is not releasing info, so the media is making stuff up as they go along. It was NOT suicide.

For reasons that would be obvious to anyone in LE, I will not/can not give any specifics about the investigation.

Enough info right there, no need to go any further. The scum responsible must pay for his lack of vision.
