Tell us how they've helped you, or just say 'Thank you.' : I'm new to this area and unfortunately I have watched too many funerals for fallen Philadelphia police officers. This one is harder for me to watch, not that any are easy to watch, because I am also a newlywed. I can't imagine dealing with such a loss and my heart and prayers go out to John Powlowski's wife. I hope she can pass along her wonderful memories to their son and that he will grow to be as fine a man as his father was.

Share your messages of support and gratitude to our men and women in blue. Tell us how they've helped you, or just say 'Thank you.' : "Policeman's Heaven" Author: Unknown The policeman stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shining just as brightly as his brass. "Step forward now, policeman. How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To my church have you been true?" The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No Lord I guess I ain't, because those of us who carry badges can't always be a Saint. I've had to work most Sundays, and at times my work was rough. Sometimes I have been violent, because the streets are awfully tough. But I never took a penny, that wasn't mine to keep. I worked a lot of overtime when the bills just got too steep. And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears. I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear. If you've a place for me here, Lord It needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, but if you don't I'll understand." There was a silence all around the throne Where the Saints had often trod. As the policeman waited quietly for the judgment of his God. "Step forward now, policeman, You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets You've done your time in Hell." God Bless the Families of the ffalling police officers Your Name : Robin C.

My prayers go out to Officer Pawlowski?s wife, the child who will never truly know his father, his family & his Brothers and Sisters he so proudly served with on the Philadelphia Police Dept. To the people of this city who demand that the Police are in their neighborhoods to protect their children and themselves, but are not willing to help do the job, the blood of these men and women are on your doorsteps. You NEED to take control of your streets by telling the Police who the offenders are, talk to the Police, let them do their job and go home safely to their Families. May God help us all in these troubled times we live.

Share your messages of support and gratitude to our men and women in blue. Tell us how they've helped you, or just say 'Thank you.' : I am outraged at another tragedy. What is even more insulting is the act of the judge (i can't even write his name I am so angry!). If he wanted to show his authority it would be better to do so in the court room when one of these career criminals appear before him. As Com Ramsey stated, they are unsalvageable. Put them in prison and throw away the key!!! I intend to place Officer Pawlowski's picture in my window to show support. I would suggest that we all do the same.

Your Name : Harold Family
Your Hometown : Philadelphia
Share your messages of support and gratitude to our men and women in blue. Tell us how they've helped you, or just say 'Thank you.' : If anyone deserves to be there, it's officer John Pawlowski. He stood there at the start of each and every day and pledged to protect and defend, knowing full well the cost, that someday it may cost him is very life. It's a fitting tribute to him to have his photo there, where he stood and pledged the ultimate sacrifice. It's a statement that despite the cost, the sacrifice, that evil will not prevail, that JUSTICE will. He is an example of all that the Court stands for. We should all remember the man and what he stood for.

Share your messages of support and gratitude to our men and women in blue. Tell us how they've helped you, or just say 'Thank you.' : None of these dedicated officers were killed by 1st time offenders. The judicial system has got to these animals off the street. Lets use the Stimulas Package to build new prisons in each state-2 for Phila they need it. And when a criminal gets the death penalty lets carry it out in a timely manner. When someone kills a police officer they immediately forfeit their rights!!!Sound harsh?? Ask ant family member that has had to deal with this.

Your Name : Ray

Share your messages of support and gratitude to our men and women in blue. Tell us how they've helped you, or just say 'Thank you.' : Look at the way the judge disrespected the honor of the fallen officer, in the 35th district today. This unacceptable behavior of judges is the root of the problem. If a picture of a slain officer offends him, what kind of sentences does he hand down. In fact where does he stand on defense objections. Was he a defense lawyer before being elected? This judicial system is so flawed and todays actions answers the question "why was a career criminal on the street?"

Share your messages of support and gratitude to our men and women in blue. Tell us how they've helped you, or just say 'Thank you.' : "Angels in Blue" What is going on in the world today? Another one of our "Angels in Blue" has been taken away. He was so young and ambitious with a bright future ahead. A thug crosses his path...his family gets the call....Officer Pawlowski is dead! What kind of person does this? What kind of person doesn't care? Thugs who think they're tough and invincible....to a human, they don't even compare. I sometimes wonder could they look the wives, whom they made widows, in the eye. Could they ask for forgiveness? Could they explain the reasons why? Even if they could it won't bring back the "Angels in Blue" who protected us till the end. The "Angels in Blue" who were also someone's wife, husband, mother, father, brother, sister, and friend. My heart goes out to the families of our "Angles in Blue". I'll keep you all in my prayers and always remember?.. They all died a hero....doing what they loved to do.

There was a room full of 1300 brothers and sisters of Johns who were stunned. I sit here now and dont even know what to say. The cops of this city are under attack from thugs and need to be protected better by those that they serve. The issue is the people of this city and their complete disreguard for authority Cops do their jobs because they love it, but we are on the verge of losing the wonderful dynamic that our police have if this maddness continues.

So guys, do the best that you can do and keep your head up. And we all PROUDLY SUPPORT THE PHILADELPHIA POLICE DEPARTMENT

Timothy Simpson Another warrior gained, another hero ready for the battle. Yo, brother let me cry my tears for you and bring them with me over to the other side and turn them into tears of joy. This isn't a funeral. This is a celebration. ROLL-CALL! Skerski, Barkley, Hayes, Nazario, Liczbinski, Cassidy, McDonald, Simpson! Hey Isbabel keep and eye on these guys and keep them out of trouble on those puffy white clouds. In those clouds with the man upstairs, the man who taught me no fear, the man who is the one true pure genius. Who is no man. The clouds will open up someday for all of us who are supposed to be there. So stop crying those tears of pain and turn them into joy. So keep my sword warm Timothy, keep those wings flapping baby, until the real Dark Knight shows up to help knock'em all down and keep them down forever? No, for all eternity. For all eternity. We will INCREASE THE PEACE. Timothy This one is for you. See you on the other side brother.

Share your messages of support and gratitude to our men and women in blue. Tell us how they've helped you, or just say 'Thank you.' : I was homeless due Hurricane Katrina. I ended up on the Philadelphia streets. I remember P/O Michael Lewis doing his morning wakeups. I introduced myself & asked P/O Lewis to pray with me & my wife. He granted my request. That was the 1st day of hope. P/O Lewis tried for 2 months to get housing for us on his own time. Although, he ran into many deadends, he never gave up. Due to P/O Lewis persistence, my wife & I are no longer homeless & we have full-time jobs. We visit P/O Lewis twice a month at his home. P/O Lewis could have step over us while doing his wakeups. Instead, he opened his heart. We will forever be thankful to him.

Share your messages of support and gratitude to our men and women in blue. Tell us how they've helped you, or just say 'Thank you.' : As a retired Phila Police Officer I would like to thank the officers for the thankless job they are doing in Phila. These fine men and women lay their life on the line every day for the citizens of phila. only to be gunned down by these same people they try to protect. When will the Mayor and Commissioner step up to the plate and hire more officers, go back to the two man highway cars in trouble areas and stop making excuses. If this was a two man vehicle would the results have been same, probably not. Put the job back in the hands of the police like it was under the Rizzo Administration. The officers today are constantly looking over their shoulder wondering will it be the city or the bad guy that will get them next. Hang in there Fellows and STAND PROUD.
