Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Jesus Vargas
My condolences to the family and the friends. We must have tougher laws so that people may think twice. The suspect should be charged with 2 counts murder and attempted murder on K9. My prayers for all.

Thank you the law enforcement in eliminating the perpetrator. Anyone who fires upon law enforcement or kills law enforcement save the tax payers money but make sure it is a valid shot.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.
I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.
