Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Someone killed an Agent today
and a part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect
will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect who shot will stand up in court,
with counsel demanding his rights...
While a family grieves on long lonely nights.
The environment in which he worked was a battlefield too,
just as if he'd 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.
Yeah, somebody killed an Agent today in your town or mine,
while we lived in comfort behind our closed doors
An Agent put his life on the line.
Now a ghost fills his feet, on a dark city street
while he stands at each new Agents side.
He answered the call and gave his all
And a Part of America Died.

Specia Agent Senter,
Thank you for your years of dedicated service to kkeping this country safe. It will always be remembered. To his family, friends, and law enforcement family please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. To all law enforcement officers, do not be embarassed over the fact it was a correction officer who took this heros life. This officer died a hero and the coward who took his life was no law enforcement officer. Nothing he did made him a law enforcement officer. Just because a person wears a uniform does not make him the person that a true law enforcement person is. It's what is in the heart

Reality

Imagine how our world would be
If every police officer quit
Turned in their gun, turned in their badge,
Just finally had enough of it.

No respect, no loyalty,
No appreciation of all they do,
They’d give their lives for all of us,
These wonderful officers of “Blue”.

Kicked at, spit on,
Punched, stabbed and shot,
Everyday assaults on officers,
Done…without thinking a second thought!

Our laws are in favor of criminals,
There’s always some loophole in their case,
Out again to commit more crimes and murders
…creates pain, that we, the family and friends
…in time will never erase.

Why should they do it?
Why take the risk?
Why put their life on the line?
Subject their loved ones to endless suffering,
When their precious life is lost while fighting crime.

More murders, more kidnappings, more robberies and rapes,
Just to mention a few,
Please ask yourself how life would be,
If there were NO officers in Blue!

Would you do it? Could you do it?
And for how many…would YOU give it all?
Rewards are a 21 gun salute, a Medal of Honor,
And your name gets added to the Wall.

Think about it. Why are they here?
And why do some hate them so?
Because they enforce the laws that put convicts and murderers
In jail serving time, or on “Death Row”.

All give some and some give all,
It’s a risk they chose to take:
To put their heart and soul in it,
To put their lives at stake.

So, please take a moment,
Please give it deep thought,
Think of what “you can do”…

To help show respect,
To help follow the laws,
So we’d quit losing our Heroes in Blue!

Each day I seach this website, reading the tragic stories of men and women taken too soon from this world. How sad I was to hear of Agent Sentner being taken. I first heard the story on the radio, then saw his name on this page. I moved to Fl only a few months ago after losing my husband in the line of duty. I grieve for each of the families that lose another brother or sister.. how horrible to be another "brother"....this man wore a disguise, pretending to be an officer of peace...with hatred in his heart.. My love and prayers go out to the REAL brothers and sisters of Agent Sentner... he will never be forgotten!!

I want your family to know that we at FCI Tallahassee deeply regret the actions of a few and please don't judge all of us for them, S.A.
