“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but a two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.

I approach the vehicle, as bluelights bounce around me,
It's not a matter of like and hate, it's the violation I saw.
As I get closer, the danger I do not see,
I'm thinking of enforcing the law.

I hear the shot, and feel the pain,
As I drop to the ground
The car speeds off driven by a man who has to be insane,
As I finally into my radio, mumble,"Officer Down!"

As I lay there, I thought of my wife,
I see the dreams we had made.
I ask the Lord to please spare my life,
Then I felt myself begin to fade.

I stopped him only for speeding,
Then I heard a sweet voice on my ear.
"Come with me son, to Heaven I am leading.
No more will you have to shed a tear."

I opened my eyes to see my Savior,
He said, "Follow me, my son.
He will pay for his behavior,
For you have performed a job well done!"

R.I.P Ofc. Grignon, god has called one his heros here on earth back upstairs with him. Even though it is a risk that every officer takes everyday they put on the uniform it's still not easy when one is taken in the line of duty. Ofc. Grignon u will not be forgotten and your memory will still live on thank you for your services.

10-7,10-42 God Bless u Ofc. Grignon as u have crossed the thin blue line a joined the other fallen heros

God bless Officer Grignon for the ultimate sacrifice. It is my prayer that his wife, family and co-workers find some sense of peace during this time.
Just know that there are lots of folks across the country that care deeply...even old retired cops in Texas like me. God bless you all.

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Officer Grignon.
"One thing I know: the only ones who will be truly happy are those among you who have sought and found a way to serve." Albert Schweitzer.
Officer Grignon found his way to serve with the Louisville Metro. He did not lose his life-he gave it in service to his department and his community.
Nothing will ever replace your fallen officer, but I pray that your memories of him in happy times will help to ease the pain you're feeling now.
Rest easy, Brother; you will never be forgotten.

Thank you for your sacrifice officer, as a future member of the law enforcement community I am deeply saddened. I read this poem and found it appropriate:

The Policeman stood
and faced his God
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, Policeman
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders
and said, "no. Lord I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,]
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Thought I worked a lot of overtime,
when the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

So, if you've a place for me,
Lord, it needn't be so grand,
I've neither expected nor had
too much,
But if you don't I'll understand."

There was silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod,
As the policeman waited quietly,
for the judgement of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman,
you’ve borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven’s streets,
you’ve done your time in hell." -Author unknown

What words can possibly come close to expressing what has been stolen from so many of us today? I am deeply moved by what has happened and I can only shake my head in bewilderment. It was so senseless. To the Grignon family, my deepest sympathy for your loss.
