To The Family, The OPD, City and County of Alameda,

I am so saddened by his lost. I work in Eastmont Mall and I feel so good, the police are there, when I see them drive in and out, I wave, smile and know they are on their jobs doing what they love to do, and it showed in their faces, their spirit and their hearts. They use to talk to us when they went to the cafe on the 1st floor, and they carried themselves well, and were proud of what they did.

They are not at the peek of their game, and guarding all of us from heaven. Rest assured they have the highest badges. God Bless You All and May You Find Peace knowing they served us all.

God Bless You and Thank You for Sharing him with us.

"No greater love has a man than to lay down his life for his friends." Saturday Officer Hege and these other fine officers laid down their lives for their friends... The City of Oakland California. My prayer is for the families that someday God will give them peace and understanding for the sacrifice made by you and your loved one as he made the ultimate sacrifice.
Rest in Peace my Brother.

This was a great loss for their fellow police officers, the people they were charged to protect, and this nation. In God’s providence they sought and were selected to be police officers, and thus they were rulers ordained by God spoken of in the Book of Romans, chapter thirteen, verses one through seven.

“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.”

Even so, some men and woman ordained of God to carry the power of life and death must become victims of the evil doers, just like soldiers on a battle field; but the righteousness of God shall prevail, either in this life or the next. Thus it was that the power residing in other officers put an end to the rebellious, unfruitful, unloving, evil existence of the miscreant and minion of Satan who took their lives. Contrary to those he slew in the performance of their duty to God, the People, and the Country, he was out of the body and standing in judgment before God Almighty, without a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Consequently, he will suffer forever in a Godless, Hell; full of darkness and a fire that gives no light. He shall never see light again. Neither shall he meet another lost soul in that place. He is now alone and will be alone for eternity. For the Scriptures condemn his soul by saying this: “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. (1 John 3:15) Praise God though, these men who I hope and pray were indeed children of God, are, therefore, “out of the body and present with the Lord,” (II Corinthians 5:8) in whom there is Life, Love, and Pleasures Forever. But, for he that slew them though, just like the minion of Satan that betrayed our Lord, it would have been better for him, “...if he had never been born.” (Mark 14:21 & Matthew 26:24)
