I just heard the sad news myself.
Detective Briscoe, you will be missed!

That sucks. The lesson here: Young guys, get the blood test. Not-so-young guys: say hello to "Dr. Fatfinger." It beats being dead, and for all you homophobes: it does not make you gay.

He's one of my favorite actors. I have a memory of meeting him (chasing him) up Broadway just to tell him that I love his work. I walked right past Benjamin Bratt to talk to Jerry (it was cool! it was cool!).

His talent & charisma will be missed. ~~April

My favorite line of his is from the episode where the Jewish guy accidentally ran over a black kid in Harlem, and the case led to what was, basically, the L.A. riots.

Briscoe and Logan are showing a suspect (drugs, I think) the video of a murder. They think the suspect knows who the killer is.

Lennie: We don't really give a damn about these people looting and bustin' up people's cars. That's not our department. We're homicide.
Suspect: So?
Lennie: So, your friend there is homicidin' somebody!
