I first saw of this terrible tragedy via the P/L network. Two brave Warriors who chose to keep the citizens of their communities safe by standing up and taking on the very jobs that, in the end, would be their demise.
No greater love hath a man.....
My most sincere condolences to all family, friends and fellow officers touched by this act of Evil.
May the Lord bless and keep your souls in eternal peace and watch over your survivors..
And may the Lord Bless and help your injured partner and Bless your Warrior Brother who stood firm and brave and returned (successful) fire.

Law Enforcement Memorial Prayer by Officer Thomas Guthery

Dear Lord, law enforcement is not an easy task to do,
Yet, there are many who choose to wear the shield.
They serve each day, to the oaths they swore are true,
Protecting and serving, a safer, better world to build.

Lord now we gather to pay our deepest honor,
To those of ours officers, killed in the line of duty.
It matters not the style of shield they wore,
Only that they served with pride, and honor.

Lord all that matters is that they were one of us,
Serving wherever needed, richest mansion to dirtiest alley.
Confident and proud, highly honored by the peoples trust,
So they carried a shield, mindful of all their sacred duties.

Lord you have called several of ours home to glory,
The race with life for them is now done.
Peace, blessed peace, in safety, forever now with Thee,
Welcome rest, now in heaven for all of eternity.

May time never erase the sacrifices that were made,
May no officer ever fall alone, to lie cold in their grave .
May those of us still serving, remember well the price they paid, May their memories stand forever as those who went down brave.

Lord give us courage to carry on, to still live and care,
To not be vengeful or bitter, to simply trust Your word it true. May we always cover with pride the shield we wear,
To honor all fallen officers, whom we now commend to you.


God Speed!

Having been in law enforcement for almost 33 years, and being retired from MBPD as a LT for over 29 years, I can say that this hit me really hard. Although I didn't know these fine Officers, I know they served their communites with pride and professionalism every single day. They are absolute heroes. May their memories and sacrifice never be forgotten and may they, their families, colleagues and friends always be at peace. God bless them all!!
