Cowards die and they are gone, Heros go to Heaven and are remembered forever. To kill someone over a DUI is insane and they will get lawyers to try to explain their actions......To the family and friends, we all cry tears of sadness at such a senseless crime, he will remain in your hearts and memories....Deputy Jones, thank you, he surely would have killed someone innocently driving home from work...Rest in Peace...

At the beginning of every shift I supervise, myself and the other officers on shift dedicate the shift to the memory of a fallen officer. Tonight, January 27, 2003 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Deputy David Jones who died while we were working yesterday. Although we did not know or work with Deputy Jones, when one law enforcement officer falls, we all stumble for a while, but we will carry on.
Deputy Jones' sacrifice will never be forgotten.

You gave the ultimate sacrifice. You may be gone, but you will NEVER be forgotten. We are all family in this job, sometimes we are the only family each other has. In pace requiescat, Rest in peace! Keep a watch on the rest of us as we go on shift each day.

BLOOD UPON THE SHIELD
Confrontation in an alley. The Centurion does not yield.
But this time the good guy loses;
there is blood upon the shield.
And the mournful sounds of bagpipes
play out across the land,
drowned out by the sobs of a lonely young wife
and a child too young to understand.
While the killer pleads his case in court,
the thin blue line is one man short.
And we're one step closer to society's fall;
another cops's name is engraved on the wall.
Another state funeral, with an army in blue,
and we know it could've been me and it
could've been you.
We all look ahead to what the future has in store,
front line troopers in a country that's at war.
At war with itself and at war with its cops and we're out
there every day 'cause the battle never stops.
It's not the way it is on TV shows or like
we learned in school; no cool music in the background,
no playing by the "rules".
We're disillusioned warriors,
but for right we'll always strive.
We just pray that at the end of our stress-filled day
we'll get back home alive.
You stand out on the corner
ignoring the insults and the stares,
close to the point of believing that no one really cares,
when a six year-old boy walks over after watching
you for awhile, reaching out to shake your hand,
on his face a friendly smile. To him you are a hero,
a protector of our land, and he wants
to learn about you,
as a cop and a man.
And when he asks you why your badge is covered
by a black elastic band,
tell him about our Brother--
A cop who made a stand.
Peace be with you!
"Blessed are the peacekeepers..........."
May God keep Deputy Jones in his loving arms and keep his family safe during this heartbreaking time. Thanks, my brother for your sacrafice. You will not be forgotten.
