Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I am in such shock and disbelief from what occurred that I am at a loss for words. When I heard all the sirens and witnessed several dozen police cars from multiple departments racing down my street I knew it was bad..but I never imagined that it was this bad! I visit odmp.org frequently and the idea that I am writing a reflection for 4 officers who were killed less then a minute from where I live is just beyond belief! My prayers go out to the families, friends and law enforcement personnel who have been affected by this tragedy. I personally will never forget this, and every time I see a Lakewood police car I will always be reminded.

Thank you for your sacrifice, courage and service to our country. May your children always know that their dad was, and will always be, a true HERO to the citizens he served. May justice be swift for the scum that took his life. God Bless and Godspeed.

With heavy heart I'm watching and waiting for some explanation, though I know an adequate one will never come. My heart and prayers are with each of you and your families, and brother and sister officers. God bless.

Having felt the pain of losing a friend and fellow officer only a few months ago, I sympathize and empathize for those of you left behind that were close to these brave officers. I pray the families and fellow officers will know that their loved ones are not and will not be forgotten and that all may find peace in this time of pain. One day all of our tears will be wiped away. In the meantime, our lives and communities are safer because of special people like Officer Renninger. Your watch is over now, brother. Rest in peace.

There's a reason I cried
When I heard four officers had died
The reality hit hard in the life that we live
To a job where people are asking you to constantly give

FOUR of the finest today paid the ultimate price
And with pride and honor made their greatest sacrifice
The public has no idea on a day to day, what you went through
And how many lives that are now touched, the killer never knew

How you sometimes went to work, with very little sleep,
Duty and honor, a vow you must keep
And like most cops you were most likely underpaid
But it's a job you loved, the one for which you were made

To protect and serve, is how you lived your lives
My heart goes out to your now widowed wives
It's a knock on the door every officer's spouse fears
And that's why today my eye's are filled with tears

Our thoughts and prayers are for the families that will be without
A father / mother, a husband / wife, a brother / sister who will be missed beyond doubt

Heaven called FOUR of your finest home today
A price anyone who loves an officer hopes they will never pay
Lord, Watch over each and every unsung hero we pray
So they can be with the ones they love at the end of their day.
