For anyone who is interested, I found the following on Chick Fila Water Tower's facebook page written Yesterday at 9:07am
In honor of Chicago Police Officer Clifton Lewis, who was fatally wounded in Chicago last week, we will be accepting donations all day tomorrow to support his family. In addition, we will donate $1 for every Foursquare check-in, and a percentage of tomorrow's daily sales.

Rest In Peace Officer. Thanks for your service. God Bless you and your family and your cpd family. Gob Speed. TL
What an incredible loss for the family, CPD and Chicago.
It was a great showing. SO nice to see Pat Quinn, Rham Emanuel and Anita Alvarez there. It was also a very classy move by Debra Kirby to give a quick 5 second prayer at the casket - she knows what it is like to walk the line that the working police do, day in and day out.
God Bless our fallen brother....
Would have been there, but wife is in surgery right now.
Godspeed officer.
SCC..you here? Stop by the pipers and say hi. LIFM Drummer
So long Clifton, One of the Austin Army, too soon.
Very nice turnout to say a final farewell to a fallen brother. RIP!!
RIP My Brother !
GODSPEED OFFICER CHICAGO FINEST.
When heartbreaking is common place,you live in a truly barbaric society. May God have mercy on his soul and those of us still stuck in this hellhole.
Once again, on behalf of a grateful Department, Thank You to all the various law enforcement agencies in attendance along with our first responder brothers in the Chicago Fire Dept.
Again, a fine job by our Honor Guard, Pipes and Drums, Mounted and Motorcycle Units.
Finally, Thank You to all that responded to the funeral and those who were unable but kept our brother in their thoughts and prayers.
Rest in Peace our brother in blue, Officer Clifton P. Lewis.
Great news!!!!

great work boys!!! we should all show up in court to see these pieces of S&^$% get the hammer dropped on them!!
Deepest condolences to the family of Officer Lewis and the Ogden TX police dept. On your loss, and Gods speed to the injured
Rest in peace Office. The only thing McGoofy said since he got here that I respect is that we'll get the guys that did this. I share his drive to avenge this murder-but that's it. Cliff, you did what we all do and you stepped up when someone needed you. Your courage is inspirational. We just had another sad day in the history of the CPD and it all revolves around mourning this hero. Be safe brothers and sisters, watch the hands and back each other up always.
Officer Lewis- you have left such an honorable legacy. Now, even those who weren't personally touched by you, have been by hearing who you were. I've thought about you every day since your life was taken, and am so saddened. I think about your family, your fiance and her son, your child, your CPD colleagues, your team members- everyone who knew you and loved you. May God rest your soul, may your beautiful life be cherished and never forgotten, and may your loved ones always be in our thoughts and our prayers.
Iluminate our path and keep us safe St Michael. Accept lewis to your side so that maybe that beast can finally be taken care of.
RIP Clifton
Rip Brother!
GodSpeed my brother!
What an amazing service.RIP my brother in blue. You are forever in our hears.
FYI high brass..google a uniform store and wear the correct shoes. Show some respect.
I am not CPD but worked with Officer Lewis occasionally. He always had a big smile on his face and a friendly word. Such a horrible loss. RIP office.
It's always sad to see one of us go. It is proof and testimony of the dangers of our job, It can happen to anyone at anytime. We all live alike, we love our family, and have pride in ourselfs and our work. We see the evils of humanity and of our society. On sad days like this I feel empty as if I lost someone so close to me, yet I might not even know you. It does not matter what race, religion or background you are, all I see is blue. God Bless everyone stay true and watch yourselfs.
Cliff, you will be missed. You were a man that we can all look up and aspire to be like. Godspeed brother. And to the officer whose wife had surgery, hope all went well.
RIP Brother Cliff, May you rest in the hands of GOD.
Godspeed
did anyone else hear McGoofy's comment that we are 13,000 Strong and that we will catch the killers. Since when have we been 13,000 Strong?
Who are we to quibble with God when he says he needs another soldier in his Heavenly Army?
Go ahead Cliff... The big guys are the better guidon bearers!
Meanwhile... Those of us who make up God's Army here in the land of the living will soldier on best we can.
We'll take the flag from Cliff and not let it touch the ground.
We have a great and powerful quarrel against our foes who beset us from within and without.
We bow our heads to none other than The Almighty himself... Men who fancy themselves masters of other men gnash their teeth in anger at our resilience.
Yes... We're living the mean and hateful season... There are those who pretend to share our cares and concerns yet they plot a path full of stumbling blocks, trip-falls and snares because they don't really know us nor do they care to know us...
The empowered hypocrites cry the false tears of whores for the bright TV lights yet they secretly rejoice in our sorrow and pain.
Heh... Their expertly rehearsed scheming and plotting cannot come to fruition and will become undone because the Almighty despises lies, liars and the Prince of all lies who was cast out and fell to earth not unlike a comet.
Lies and liars will surely not prosper against The Silitoe Tartan of those in God's Army!
Stay Strong and Endure, Blue Suits!
God Bless our Brother!
God Bless The Policeman!
God give us strength in HIS NAME so we can fight for those who can't fight for themselves and stand firm against those who seek to overpower us...
Matthew 5:9
"Blessed are The Peacemakers for they shall be called The Sons of God..."
Petition The ALMIGHTY on our poor and meager behalf Brother Cliff!
RIP our fallen brother. Great to see the turnout; esp state and burbs. Someone tell the boees to dress the part...it is getting embarassins. Special Thanks to Cmdr Kup who walked the line and greeted all the PO's....class act
Thank you to the CPD chaplains for being there today. There were about 10 other "ministers" at the pulpit, but where were they a week ago at the emergency room and at the morgue? The CPD chaplains WERE there then, were with family in the meantime (along with Sgt Cooper and her crew), and were there today...ironically, off to the side (maybe at their request). THEY, who have been with the family from the breaking of the bad news to the Clif's family last week, should have had front and center today--though maybe they wouldn't have wanted that. Fr. Brant did a great job calling the crowds to attn (he was the one who made some sense...why the politicians, later?) as we began the funeral this morning. He and his crew were the ones at roll calls this past week, consoling us. Good work, chaplains.
RIP Officer. I will carry you in my heart as I do the others.
