Psalm 94 verses
1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
3 Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
16 Who will rise up for me against evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.

God Bless the family of Deputy Matt Williams. We thank him and Diogi for their service and will be praying that God extend his abounding love, mercy, and grace in such a trying time.

Rejoice in the Lord, for his mercy endureth forever.

We put on the badge every day knowing what the risk is. We hope this is never the outcome. Everyone brave enough to wear this badge stands united as brothers across the country no matter what agency it says. We all feel deep sorrow for the loss Deputy Williams' family has suffered. God bless Deputy Williams and his partner for their devotion. Thank you for your service. God bless you, I'm sure he already had a place in heaven reserved for the both of you.

I was praying for you when I watched the events on CNN, and was so sad when your death was announced. I feel for your family, as I know the pain they are experiencing and the road ahead. It is so senseless, such a profound loss. May God bless you and those you loved. Know that your brothers in blue will not rest until your killer is brought to justice. But now it's time for you and your K-9 partner to take your rest in Heaven. Thank you for your service, dedication and sacrifice. You will be missed.
