Rich was a wonderful officer, family member, friend and citizen who will truly be missed. As a spouse of a WPD officer, I find it absolutely disgusting that this information has been released and is now "news". Our loss has been very hard on everyone from his family, the men and women working with him, as well as their family members. We relive this tragedy everyday and just when we think we are able to find a “little” closure, this becomes “news”. Are we supposed to thank the media for this bit of “breaking” information? I think NOT!! All thanks should go to Rich, and all of our men and women who put their lives on the line everyday for you people that feel that this is “news”. You should be ashamed of yourselves for putting everyone through this only a week after our loss. Are you proud of yourselves for the lack of compassion you show?
