Reflections for Police Officer Charles Edward Cassidy

Officer Cassidy, thank you for your service. Neither you, nor your sacrifice, will ever be forgotten. You died doing your job...trying to protect your community. It is my sincere hope that your murderer never sees the light of day again.

Watch over your family giving them the love, guidance and support they will need as they begin this long dark journey without you. Watch over your brothers and sisters uniform as well.

Rest in peace.

I just wanted to say that my condolences and wishes go out to Officer Cassidy's family. My father was a law enforcement officer for 15 years at Temple University, and it saddens me whenever any Officer is taken in the line of duty. God Bless Officer Cassidy and his family.

"A Part of America Died"
Somebody killed a policeman 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 that shot him will stand up in court,
with counsel demanding his rights.
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids,
and spend many long, lonely nights.

The beat that he walked was a battle field 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.

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

Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
and he stands at each new rookie's side.
He answered the call, of himself gave his all,
and a part of America died.

Godspeed.

After 25 years on duty this man gave his life. This just shows you that no matter how long you are a police officer, it can still go down at any second.

I hope his family finds peace.

I know of no words that will suffice. No words that are adequate. What can be said about a man who would give 25 years on the streets of Philadelphia? What a remarkable legacy.
I would like for the family, friends and fellow officers of Officer Charles Cassidy to know there are folks all across this country that will lift you up in prayer before the Almighty.
May you each experience the eternal love and endless blessings of our Lord and Savior in the coming days.
