I don't know why, but when I saw this picture I lost it. I've kept my tears in check from the day this horrible case was announced, but this simple picture does something to me. God Bless Hattiesburg, my home state of Mississippi, all the officers at HPD and the families of these two fallen officers.

officer deen and officer tate have been on my mind so much lately and i always keep this thread open as well.......i've been searching for updates and i have been very frustrated not being able to find anything......

so i contacted ryan moore, the reporter with WDAM who's work is scattered throughout this thread. ryan was not only a friend of officer deen's but did a phenomenal job covering the tragedy and funerals of both officers......

i confirmed with him what i thought to be true.....that all seven of the arrestees (there are nine total but two were given relatively low bonds and have been released) remain jailed.....all will be presented to the grand jury when they next meet.......

i have asked when that will be and will report here when i am notified of such.......i also let ryan know of our thread here at WS and told him i hoped that he would visit and read soon and thanked him for his wonderful coverage........

i know that this will be the first father's day that officer deen's children will be without him......i will be sending special prayers their way tomorrow :heartbeat:.....bless them.....and i'll also be thinking of the fathers of these brave men, bless you as well :heartbeat:

just wanted to update everyone..........


:rose: officer benjamin deen - rest in peace sir, with honor
:rose: officer liquori tate - rest in peace sir, with honor

thank you for taking up the shield and for your service :heartbeat:

Please keep the Deen family in your thoughts and prayers. Officer Deen's 13-year-old daughter passed away night before last. She was ill with a virus. This family has been through so much lately.

That is so, so sad. Condolences and strength to the family.

This is probably a dumb question, but with him dead without being convicted, will the others still be able to be found guilty of assisting him after the crime?
