Police officer killed by a felon on parole with 20+ arrests. A judge let this man back on the streets, and now Officer John Bartholomew is dead.Now we honor him. Now we keep his name alive.Officer John Bartholomew was only 38 years old — a husband, a father of 3, and a man who put on the uniform to protect his community.His wife is without her husband. His children are without their father. And a family is shattered forever.This should have never happened. A felon on parole with 20+ arrests should have never had the chance to take this officer’s life. How many more innocent people have to die before judges start being held accountable for putting repeat offenders back on the streetsRest in peace, Officer John Bartholomew.Your life mattered.Your service mattered.Your family deserves justice.Please keep his wife, children, and loved ones in your prayers.
