  • Officer O’Connor was shot in the back of the head while transporting a suspect. Today, 1/8/2018, we escorted him to the airport from SLU Hospital where he will go to Colorado for treatment.
    2021 Update: Officer O'Connor is doing well and back at home spending his time with family. His wife Barbara says it best, "We are overwhelmed by the continued outpouring of love and support from friends, family, and strangers both near and far. While we still face unique challenges and are always learning to adapt to whatever comes next, Ryan is a reminder to count your blessings, not your heartaches!"

    Okay CZcams Community, we need prayers. I thought I would update everyone. The video of Officer O’Connor being escorted to a rehabilitation hospital has received over 7 million views worldwide! That means people from all around the world knows his story. Those people come from different religious and cultural backgrounds. A few weeks ago Officer O’Connor was diagnosed with COVID-19. O’Connor is now in the ICU on a ventilator fighting for his life once again. We know that he is a fighter! The family is asking the community for prayers. What better community then the worldwide community I have right here! Please keep him in your prayers and I will update you when I can.

I've had a few tell me they wanted him to resist but that wouldn't honor their fallen brother. This guy had an extensive rap sheet, including multiple arrests from Chad though he'd never shot anyone. Nor will he ever again. Chad's widow actually recieved death threats by using her rights to choose life in prison with no chance of parole. Reason? Death row allows for virtually infinite appeals. Life in prison allows allows for none. I , for one, am extremely proud of her!

      hi im a German police ofiicer and when someone of our Dienststelle (department ) dies hes getting escorted by the GSG 9 ( an Elite Unit ) , its not so present to the public but way more in the department itself . Just a simple black helicopter and black cars with sirens and light driving through the city . To all paramedics, Firemens and Policeofficers keep going it might not pay out immediantly but at some point for sure !! Greetings from Your Brother in blue out off Germany

    These are some common questions getting asked in the comment section
    1.Is he dead?
    No he is not dead they are transporting him to an out of state hospital
    2.Is this a funeral?
    Nope.
    Description will catch your up on anything you may have missed
    Officer O’Connor was shot in the back of the head while transporting a suspect. Today, 1/8/2018, we escorted him to the airport from SLU Hospital where he will go to Colorado for treatment.
    2021 Update: Officer O'Connor is doing well and back at home spending his time with family. His wife Barbara says it best, "We are overwhelmed by the continued outpouring of love and support from friends, family, and strangers both near and far. While we still face unique challenges and are always learning to adapt to whatever comes next, Ryan is a reminder to count your blessings, not your heartaches!"

    The officer’s family must’ve been completely over the moon throughout the day.

      If we tried the same here, you know it would be put down by the higher ups. Besides, we don't have anywhere near the numbers like this PD. Huge respect to all the EMS/police/fire for showing such respect.

    In the last two months we lost two officers. Officer David Romrell of SLC Unified Police who was intentionally run over by fleeing suspects, and earlier this week Provo officer Joseph Shinners who was shot by a fleeing felon. Both received police escorts not just by their respective departments but neighboring departments, fire, and in officer Romrell's case an MP Escort as he was also a Marine. It truly is a solid brotherhood.
