Police Officer Shot!

[KA9MOT]

On Friday, June 4th, 2004 Officer Mark Sawyers of the Sterling Heights
(Michigan) Police Department was shot while sitting in his police car entering a
traffic report into his computer. He died the following morning as a result.
The killer shot Mark with a shotgun and then proceeded to steal his service
revolver and take off. The killing was senseless and tragic. The murderer is
still at large today.

Police have identified a suspect and based on bank surveillance cameras believe
Timothy Berner was stalking officers, waiting for his moment to commit this
awful crime. Why? Because he is believed to be robbing banks and was finding
his shotgun too cumbersome.

This is the reason this man thought was good enough to rob a man of his life.
Mark was 30 years old, happily married and the father of a baby girl nearing her
first birthday. He was loved by all that knew him.

Attached is a picture of the suspect, Timothy Berner. Could you please pass
this on to every person in your address book? Tim Berner was featured on
America's Most Wanted on June 12, 2004, but so far this hasn't led to his
arrest. Hopefully we can spread his face around the country (and beyond), to
those who live in and out of Michigan. All it will take is it reaching the ONE
person who can give the police the tip they need to nail this guy. Please help
do what we can in order to help the police put to justice the man who killed
Mark, a wonderful man who died way too young.

Steve, I sent it to everyone I knew, let's hope they do the same. Monsters like this shouldn't even have a trial.

I really feel for the family.

[KA9MOT]

Yes, that is why I posted it here. The more people who see it the better. This is in Vetteonr's neck of the woods.
I just hope it is not a hoax.

[KA9MOT]

No, not a hoax. He is on America's Most Wanted.

This has been a major news story since it happened around here. Too many senseless killings going on. This is one case that would be very hard to argue against the death penalty on. Why waste the jail space. I have a friend of mine who's a cop and it takes a special breed of person to do what they do. There's not a day that goes by that they don't think of the consequences of their job. Cops catch a lot of flak sometimes, and are the butt of some jokes, but that's one job I wouldn't like to do. Sometimes I can't blame them for the way they act.

seems this officer is just another unfortunate just like my friend duck was. still no update on his murderer. police know the cab driver but wont release any information and seemingly dont give a flip. nevertheless i sent that poster to a few hundred people. hopefully but douptfully it'll help

This has been a top story here as well, as I also seen it on AMW last weekend. Hope someone finds this dirt bag, and lets him have it

[danny]

is anyone positive he did the crime? if so no trial is needed-whoops i thought i saw a gun and accidently killed him while trying to just wound him

[8winsforcar12]

A tippster from AMW spotted him in Florida.He committed suicide after the florida police found where he was.
Well Justice wasnt served, but at least he wont hurt anyone else.

[danny]

i hope the family can rest assured that he got his and by his own hand.

I hope so even tho I'm sure they would like to see him get his day in court so he would have to live with what he has done.

[vetteonr]

I've got just one word for him.........

"COWARD"

Yep, not man enough to pay for his actions.

[duffy]

Well, 8, and Vette....... The mind is a funny thing.... He could easily just turn himself in, or continue that nightmare called "Fugitive", and it's NOT a good experience for the person "on the run"....... Don't worry, he'll be "found"

[vetteonr]

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.........hopefully!
