The Dallas Police Department held yearly services Tuesday afternoon in honor of officers who died while on the job.
“It couldn’t have been any more wonderful than it was today,” Black said.
Standridge died years after being shot three times in the line of duty. Black said she worked tirelessly for his name and years of service to be included in the Dallas Police Memorial. “Everybody finally knows what kind of man he was,” Black said. “What kind of policeman he was, what kind of standard the set for himself and for others. I’m so very grateful.”
"We added his name to this wall and his daughter tells us that there is nothing quite Standridge wanted more than to be a Dallas police officer," Garcia said."I can tell you he will always be a Dallas police officer. Sergeant Standridge and the other 92 brave heroes whose names are carved into this memorial. They were truly unafraid."
“We will work hard at continuing the tremendous partnerships we share with our communities, but the wicked be warned, do not mistake kindness for weakness,” Garcia said.This article tagged under:
