Detective Haws,
I am deeply saddened to learn that today we have lost another hero. My thoughts are with your loved ones and friends at this time. May they find the strength to make it through the next few days and weeks at an especially difficult time of year. You will always be remembered.

Detective Haws,
Once again another deputy is killed in the line of duty. Once again time to put on our mourning bands. How unfortunate to lose a Deputy like yourself. You sound like a great deputy and friend. Your wife and children will be in my prayers. I cannot imagine the pain they are in at this time. Thank you for serving like you did! Godspeed Brother, go walk the streets in heaven and keep an eye out for all of us down here.

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.

Another tragic murder of a Police officer just trying to do his job. I pray that our Lord will watch over his family and friends during this tragic time. I also ask that our Savior holds and comforts you in His loving arms. Rest now my friend, God knows you've earned it. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I hope the coward that killed you will gets what he deserves.

I have been where you fear to go…
I have seen what you fear to see…
I have done what you fear to do…
All these things I’ve done for you.
I am the one you lean upon…
The one you cast your scorn upon…
The one you bring your troubles to…
All these people I’ve been for you.
The one you ask to stand apart…
The one you feel should have no heart…
The one you call the man in blue…
But I am human just like you.
And through the years I’ve come to see…
That I’m not what you ask of me…
So take this badge and take this gun…
Will you take it? Will anyone?
And when you watch a person die…
And hear a battered baby cry…
Then so you think that you can be
All those things you ask of me…?
