At the Haymarket conflict in Chicago on May 4, 1886, police were attacked, and eight officers were killed: Mathias J. Degan, John J. Barrett, George F. Miller, Timothy J. Flavin, Michael Sheehan, Thomas Redden, Nels Hansen, and Timothy Sullivan. Fifty-nine officers were wounded. The event came to be remembered with the declaration, “In the name of the people of Illinois I command peace,” and with tribute to the bravery of the eight officers who died as a result of the conflict and to all police officers who have sacrificed their lives to serve and protect the citizens of Chicago.
