Sadly, another tragic loss of a member of our uniform services out there protecting each and every one of us.

My condolences to his family, his friends and to the members of the NYPD on their loss.

Half way thru his excerpts he mentions John & Al's Sporting Good's (Broadway near Stockton St.) a big part of NYPD & FDNY History) in '73 when the 3 day siege of John & Al's Sporting Goods took place RIP ESU Officer Stephen Gilroy Truck 8. https://www.odmp.org/officer/5472-police-officer-stephen-r-gilroy ......also see .... http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/10/a-1973-hostage-situation-revisited/?_r=0...We (108) were 1st Due Truck & had been at the scene on & off during the standoff (constant FD presence from start to finish & on Sat night the Superpumper & Satellites responded & set up at either end of the block of 3 sty attached frame bldgs so in the event a Fire started & could not be attacked conventionally due to the shooters it would not jump the block ) & on a Sunday when when it was resolved thru a surrender the perps initially were brought to the 90 Precint next door to our FH on Union Ave. that afternoon but secreted out a back door to another location but the perp supporters did not know this & by 1800 the change of our tours we were imprisoned in the FH & Rigs were out of service & no FFs could enter or leave the block as a large unruly crowd filled Union Av jumping on cars & chanting "free the brothers" this went on until about 2000 when sufficient PD reinforcements were readied & dispersed the crowd restoring order to the area however several of our cars were damaged ..... http://www.villagevoice.com/news/brooklyn-1973-gunmen-hostages-and-the-revolution-6682991

^^^^ Another of my fellow USMC Veteran's who was also born in "The Kitchen" ...Godspeed Al....In the later excerpts of his writings he talks about PO Daniel Enchautegui the Off Duty COP who was killed intervening during an Armed Robbery....i remember when this occurred & shortly after a Grammar School Teacher of my youngest related a story to me that she (the teacher) was asking the Class if they were aware of what happened ? .... she said someone else in the class said "yea some guy shot the Police" .....she then told me my Daughter stood up & looked at the kid & said "the guy was a COP ..his name was Daniel Enchautegui "....so i asked the teacher what the problem was & she said well if your Daughter wanted to correct a student then why did she use the word COP instead of Officer.... i explained to her that there are Police Officer's & there are COP's...a term of Respect from within & i was Proud that my Daughter knew who Daniel was.
