Yes, another bad day for society when somebody does not return home, just for doing his daily duty.

A brother in blue mate.  A truly genuinely good bloke with a lovely wife, also a serving officer, and three young children.  A very sad day.

Having recently retired from the COPS after 32 years (not QLD) when I hear of these things it makes me ill.

I'm told the police smashed their car during chase and then this Shitbag came back and executed the poor bloke.

I'll tell you one thing.  If there is ever a call for capital punishment- then this is it.

Thinking of you and all Qld Police at this difficult time.  While I may have retired from the 'force' some 8 years ago the grief of an incident such as this still gets to me.
Thank you to all who still do this often thankless job.

There ya go KB.
Saved 2-5 years of preparing evidence for Court.
Saved the cost of housing feeding and occupying this blokes attention span.
Coroner will have an interest in what went on and have his own recommendations and decisions to make.

Didn't save the survivors from the horrible event though.
Hope they can see a way past this soon.

Sincere condolences to Brett's family, friends and colleagues. A very sad thing to happen, and something that must go through every police officers' mind at some time or other.

Thanks to all the police who put their life on the line, every day, to help keep us safe. And thoughts to the officer/officers who shot the b*stard, it would be very difficult for them as well.

Thank you all.

Brett's funeral is next Wednesday at 11am.  It will be huge, and painful.

The amount of flowers and cards arriving at the station is amazing.  The whole community is grieving.

Again today I had the opportunity to shake the hand of another mate who dragged Brett out of his rolled vehicle whilst under automatic fire.  I first shook his hand on Monday night and held a towel whilst he washed away Brett's blood.  There were many heroes that day.

We take a lot for granted, most only really think about what our police do at times like this.
To all the boys in blue, thank you. Without you the cockroaches of society would flourish.
KB I hope in time the pain will ease, and your fond memories of Brett flourish.

After coming out of the bush yesterday and hearing of this tragedy and then today hearing Brett's wife was heckled by supporters of the POS makes my blood boil.

Condolences to you KB, and to Brett's family and his work mates. To those who stopped the POS from his murderous pursuit, thank you, I hope it doesn't take a toll.

To those heading off to work the TBL stay safe.
