Rest in Peace, Cpl. Richard Findley
Yesterday morning, Prince George's County Police Cpl. Richard Findley was killed in the line of duty. Reportedly, Findley was attempting to pull over a possible stolen vehicle when he was struck and dragged by that same vehicle. Unfortunately, his unjuries proved to be fatal. 39 years old and a 10 year veteran, he leaves behind a wife and two young daughters. In addition to being a county police officer, he was also a volunteer for the county fire department. The story can be found here. As the article will tell, this fatality comes almost 3 years to the day of the LODD of Sgt. Steve Gaughan who was shot and killed about a mile or so down the road at almost the same time of day. Its said that Gaughan was Findley's FTO and his close friend. May Gaughan and Findley have fun and be in peace wherever they are together now. And to the family and friends of Findley, know that just like Gaughan, memories of him will never fade and Findley will always be with them in spirit. Rest in Peace.

Such a terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to his family and to the family he leaves behind at the police department and fire department. May he rest in peace.
It will be like FTO all over again. To paraphrase the poem Holly put on her blog after Erik's murder, may he enjoy heaven, for God knows he's done his time in hell. Rest in peace brother, we'll take it from here.
