The Policeman's Last Roll Call....

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 foward
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 haven'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, though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills just
got to steep. And I never passed a cry for help, though times I shook with
fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept many unmanly tears. I know I
don't deserve a place among the people here, they never wanted me around anyways,
except to calm their fear. If you've a place for me Lord, it needn't be so
grand. I never expected or 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."

god bless you .

To the family of Officer Jose Somohano,

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks from the citizen of Miami Dade County, he died protecting.
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
Citizens of Miami Dade County

They got 'em. I know this won't ease your families' pain much, and they will forever miss and love you, but hopefully knowing they won't have to face a trial and the insult of looking at the cold-blooded killer can help you rest in peace. Job well done. Godspeed.

Our deepest condolences to your wife, children, and entire family, and to the brave men and women of the Miami-Dade Police Department.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Officer Jose Somohano and to the entire Miami-Dade Police Department. What a tragedy that four officers doing their job, protecting the citizens of Dade County, were gunned down. Hopefully, the three surviving officers will recover and be able to return to the streets soon.

The only good news is that the criminal who committed this atrocity is now dead and the taxpayers of Florida are spared the expense of a trial and then housing him for the next decade or two.
