You were a great friend and an even better cop, always dedicated to the job and your fellow Officers. You were truly one of a kind. You will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace Brother Doogie.

What is wrong with these people, a man has died and you say nasty things and involve his family. You are cowards and won't state your name. I have a feeling that his fellow brothers in law enforcement would like to visit with you and may God forgive you, I can't.
