Reflections for Officer Earl Harwood Scott

I've come to read this page at least every other day. Stories like this break my heart. Nothing is more tragic to me than losing a brother to the sensless acts of a coward. Officer Scott, you were the fabric of what is the American police officer. Sacrifice demands respect, and I will speak for all of us in Anniston Alabama and say " Well done brother!". We will honor your sacrafice and your service by being ever vigilant in our oath to make this country a better place to live and raise our children. You will NOT be forgotten! God be with your family.

While it is no consolation for your loss, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family and fellow officers of Officer Scott.

While I did not have the privilege to have known him personally, I am certain that he has found a place in heaven through his selfless service to those he swore to protect.

Rest in peace my friend; those of us who remain will cover your post on the thin blue line.

Lord,
He was yours to give,
and yours to call home,
please stand by his brothers,
so they don't feel alone,
dry the tears of his family,
so they clearly see:
that he gave his all,
so all could have peace.
Blessed are they,
the children of God,
with heavy hearts,
and honor - they trod,
to pay their respects,
to give their salute,
and to ask for your mercy,
on heroes in Blue.
Amen.

Troop, rest easy brother, we have the watch.

It is with a sad heart that for the sixth time in as many months I wear the black band over my star, I polish my motor and have to face my wife and explain that it is part of the job.

My prayers go to the California Highway Patrol and to all the brothers and sisters to respond, we are all now in a select, but sadley a growing group.

Please take a moment at each contact to check yourself and your partner, let's stop this terrible hit California is feeling and lets ALL go home at shifts end....

God Speed, Take Care.

Earl,

I always had a smile on my face and chuckled whenever I saw you at the scene of a TC or taking over one of my DUI's when I was a Deputy. You always had a smoke sticking out of your mouth and a big grin behind it. You are a hell of a good guy and I've been shedding my tears for you. You will be missed.

RIP brother...

Someone Killed A Policeman Today

Someone killed a policeman today
And a part of America died...
And a piece of our country which he swore to protect
Will be buried with him at his side.

The beat that he walked was a battlefield too,
Just as if he had gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
To his name they will add a gold star.

The suspect that shot him will stand up in court
With counsel demanding his rights,
While a young, widowed mother must work hard for kids
And spend many long, lonely nights.

Yes, someone killed a policeman today,
Maybe in your hometown or mine,
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors
A cop put his life on the line.

Now his ghost walks the beat on a dark city street
And he stands by each new rookies side.
He answered the call, of himself gave his all

And a Part of America Died.

Words can not say enough but, we mourn another hero that has been taken from us. If it was by accident or crimes against an officer it is a great loss. We will be praying for your family during these trying times. My deepest sympathy to the family, friends and co-workers. May the Lord give you strength and bless each of you during this time.
Remember these few verses from Psalm 23, The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
