Tampa police unveil memorial made with salvaged parts of fallen officer's patrol car

A striking new monument at Tampa Police District 1 headquarters serves as a powerful tribute to some of the Tampa Bay area’s most revered heroes.

That is a magnificent tribute. Badass.

I absolutely LOVE the wide roaring mouth of the lion. Wonderful!

[@wendyodell356]

This statue is absolutely amazing. It's beautiful, yet fierce like police officers are. What an outstanding tribute to all the fallen officers 🙏❤️🕊

looks primal

[@J.RKidd80]

Yikes! Striking is definitely the word.

[@alexarango4112]

Wow this is incredible! 👏 I can now see the Shotgun tip as the nose.

The mighty American racoon sculpture really honoured him well I think.

[@kathleeneustace3574]

Thank you for this beautiful memorial to all Police Officers!❤

It is kind a monument has been made but there are still families connected to government and oval office suffering

[@faithsummers.adventures6769]

OMG! I love this. Made me cry.

[@sarcastic_2uNY]

That's awesome! 🥰🙏

[@deanlute794]

Wow

[@prestonrobert2625]

For the love of God! Bless our fallen heroes.

Meanwhile the injured are sitting in NC and Florida has done nothing to help the family or any family connected to the lions deaths or any port of this fatal accident

The sentiment is nice, the sculpture is hideous.

Okay, whew, glad I'm not the only one...

[@TawannainTN]

@@sassylady2001 You know, you are right, I'm sorry.

[@informationwarlord]

@@TawannainTN She's not right. You have every right to not like public sculpture and comment on it. Being weak and caving into authoritarian bullies like Sassy is what's destroying this society. Stand up for yourself.

[@TawannainTN]

@@informationwarlord Dang it. You are right. I start feeling sorry for too many things. It really is a bad piece of work. When I first saw it, I was like, "what the hell!". Sassy, I re-send my apology. And that has nothing to do with honoring the fallen. It's just not good art.

Simply gorgeous
