Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Farewell to a true hero. Having worked with you, I have seen the dedication that you had in serving your fellow man. I have learned much from you, as have many others. You were an inspiration to all your partners and friends.
May God bless your family and the rest of your friends that you have left behind.
God Speed, and may your Spirit guide us in executing our duties, and remind us all of who we can become.
Rest in Peace Brother

This country is so sorry for the losses Texas has suffered the last three days. Two from the same county. Two accidents are terrible, but getting shot and killed in the line of duty makes you a very special hero. I feel sorry for all the Texas families. Your family has COPS to lean on.

Unfortunately your family now belongs to our unique club. If they are strong, and they have to be, they will get more used to the pain - even though they won't get over it.

A citizen

February 22, 2008

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
