Too old of a Cat, to be licked by a Kitten |
Yesterday we lost a team member. Israel "Izzy" Martinez just turned 27 years old and in a very short career, was quickly becoming a great officer. In the past year he is credited with saving three lives. One particular case last summer, he and I helped save a man that had been shot in the femoral artery. He was like a sponge, always wanting to learn, striving to better himself everyday. He had been trying out for SWAT and was working his ass off to make the team, but yesterday morning his younger sister, with whom he shared a two flat with, found him unresponsive. Needless to say, we are saddened by his very untimely death, but I wanted to share his latest life saving story which is in the link below. I pray for peace and comfort to his family and friends. He will be missed. GOD Speed and RIP. https://www.facebook.com/Chica..._rv__=related_videos On 4/20/2021, the morning after funeral services, Israel's mother suffered a possible stroke and is currently in a medically induced coma at Rush Hospital. His mother is in her early fifties and was in excellent health before the tragic loss of her only son. Doctors believe she may have a cerebral aneurysm and emergency surgery will be required. A detail has been posted for the family. Any prayers for this family is greatly appreciated.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Klusk2, The Working Police.....

Rest In Peace brother. I am very sorry for all of Officer Martinez’s family (law enforcement and otherwise) for their loss. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

Rest in Peace, Brother. A few of the officers in my Dist went through the academy with Officer Martinez, and have nothing but funny stories about him. But it seems like that's always the case. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.
