PHOENIX — While the community keeps mourning Paul Rutherford, the police officer, we are beginning to research more about Paul Rutherford, the person. One in every one of his passions became martial arts. Rutherford died Thursday after he was struck with the aid of a vehicle, even as investigating some other crash.
Lieutenant Wayne Dillon knew Rutherford for nearly 15 years. They bonded over their shared love of martial arts. One of Dillon’s preferred reminiscences is looking at Rutherford exercise his moves in front of him while the two used to work at their old precinct.
RELATED: Phoenix officer killed in the line of responsibility consoled youngster in a crash in his very last moments: “In the center of the road, within the middle of the night, someplace in Cactus Park, you had a few officers, or just us and I’m standing there as a new sergeant, and I’ve were given this officer going through a lot of these actions and showing me his forms within the center of the road,” Dillon recalled.
Rutherford was a fifth-diploma black belt in karate.
Mike and Heather Wall knew Rutherford via martial arts as correctly. “He turned into continually willing to offer,” Mike Wall stated. “He would be available around eight o’clock, and 4 o’clock, he’d say, ‘I’ve been given to move. I even have a ten-hour shift to do tonight.’ It usually impressed me that he spent all day with me and would be working all night long at the same time.”
The police branch never forgets about any of its fallen brothers, and when Lt. Dillon thinks of Rutherford, it will continually carry a grin on his face. “Every time I think about Paul, looking at this tall, thin dude in the center of the road in uniform and thinking about the possibility of a neighbor beginning their window in the middle of the night to get a breeze and seeing officials, one standing there, and the other one doing martial arts paperwork in the middle of the street,” said Dillon.
