A solemn tribute to Officer Timoshenko

I am currently based in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn New York. We are a community based off of the south eastern end of Prospect Park.

As many of you may have heard, there was a brutal shooting of two of our NY police officers (Herman Yan and Russel Timoshenko). It happened about 100 yards from my home. With the passing of Officer Timoshenko, a few of my neighborhood residents and myself went to visit the 71st precinct to offer cards and kind words for the 71 and Russels family. It was a impromptu gesture and i couldn't create a decent card but did make a collage:



I was surprised when Bob Marvin of The Lefferts Manor Organization's Echo (our local newsletter) asked me to print it. I am thankful and yet still hoping that Officer T's family can find a way to deal with their grief.
