Dhaliwal, 42, was the first Sikh sheriff’s deputy in Harris County with a population of over 10,000 Sikhs. He made national headlines when he was allowed to grow a beard and wear a turban on the job. He was gunned down while conducting a routine mid-day traffic stop in north- west of Houston on Friday. The fallen deputy’s funer- al included processions, a tra- ditional Sikh funeral and a law enforcement funeral with a 21-gun salute from fellow officers and a helicopter fly- over. As ‘Amazing Grace’ was played on the bagpipes, mem- bers of Harris County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) folded the American flag that covered his casket and Sheriff Ed Gonzalez presented it to Dhaliwal’s widow who clutched it to her heart.
