There was an impressive display of sympathy in the form of flowers, posters, and other items decorating his police vehicle in the front of the police station in Midland, Texas. It had been removed by the time I got there with my camera, however there were some memorials still on display in the station lobby.
Officer Heidelberg was killed in the line of duty the other day -- we talked about that in a previous post -- see Cop shot by homeowner in Midland fearing home invasion.
It was an unfortunate mishap, but regardless of how it happened, police officers come out in force to honor one of their fallen brothers. They form a tight, exclusive, fraternity.
Here are some photos of the lobby display.
