Thank you for soing what you loved. This is just another sad day because another police officer had his life taken. I will keep all of your loved ones in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace and leave it up to your officers to get that other a##hole. They will take the streets from here.

“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.

When people ask me why I became a police officer I have a one word answer....kids.
There isn't a more important job than protecting the safety and innocence of children.
Thank you for your courageous service doing such an important job.
Your sacrifice will NEVER be forgotten.
God speed Officer Reeves, we will take it from here.
