" I have been where you fear to go... I have seen what you fear to see...I have done what you fear to do...All these things I've done for you. I am the one you lean upon...The one you cast your scorn upon...The one you bring your troubles to...All these people I've been for you. The one you ask to stand apart...The one you feel should have no heart...The one you call the man in blue... But I am human just like you."

Rest in Peace Officer Beattie. You will not be forgotten.

This has been a bad year for San Diego law enforcement officers. Let us all pray that the Lord has some larger reason for this that we cannot see. Please Lord let our fallen heroes in blue receive the rewards they so richly deserve when they face You. If I had but one wish it would be that this officers family feels the love and support from everyone who wears a badge. God bless you Officer Beattie and rest in peace.

Dean,
I was devisatated when they said the downed officer had formally been in the El Cajon area. I had a sinking feeling it was you. I will never forget our training days, the Mother Goose spent riding together, or all the times we covered each other off on the road. You were always smiling. You had the best attitude towards the job. As my time on the motor came to and end... you chose to switch to the San Diego Area. El Cajon lost an awesome officer. God bless you and your family. You will be terrribly missed.

It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright..And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight. They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast.. They look so proud and noble, like knights come from the past.
Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one.. From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun. And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them by.. And young ones ask their parents, why the men have mirrors for eyes.
They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you.. They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few. Like men of steel, on silver wings, they sparkle in the light.. then with a roar and rumble, they ride out of our sight.
Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again.. You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind. Side by side they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound.. And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.
So if you see one riding, and you look into his face.. You see your reflection in his eyes, you know that you are safe. For motormen are a special breed, they love to ride the wind.. And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen one rides again.

Rest in Peace my Brother
