Message from Oakland Police Officers Association President Dominique Arotzarena:
"I am still waiting for the alarm clock to go off in hopes this was a nightmare. I really do not comprehend what has just happen to my brothers. I am at a loss for words, as any word will not relieve the pain. I just know that my brothers died doing what they loved to do. They were the heart of this police department. They were always positive, eager, smiling, and helpful. They were go-to people. They were sons, fathers, husbands and friends… and they were Oakland Police Officers. This department will sorely miss its brothers, and will never forget them. In our time of need, please pray for us; please give us strength to continue to serve our community. There are so many people to thank. The Oakland police officers want to thank everyone for their support."

There is a line
the color of the sky
on a clear afternoon
There is a line
the hue of the ocean
on a bright sunny day
There is a line
the purest shade of a newborn's eyes
awakening for the first time
There is a line
that protects us from harm
in all we do
whether day or night
There is a line
no one can penetrate
no one can alleviate
There is a line
made of those who choose
to follow a calling many do not hear
and still more do not comprehend
They choose to walk
the path of fear, hate, and mistrust
taken by so few
but marked by so many
And when one leaves this line
they leave a legacy
but the line does not break
for the remaining must still protect
There may be emptiness
a loss, or sadness
but never a hole
not in this line
This line that holds
the ghosts of the souls who have gone
and the souls of the ghosts who will be
The Thin Blue Line
