Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

"When I hear the call of the pipes
And the tattoo of the drums as they echo in the hills,
I will come and
stand the line.
And you should know this,
That whether you stand with me or against me,
I will fight till death.
And if the Lord should decide to take me before you,
Then you should know this.
That my brothers and sons and my sisters and
daughters will pick up my sword and continue to
Stand the line.
For oppression, anarchy and evil shall not prevail,
As long as I,
stand the line
Today,
Let us remember those warriors
Who stood beside us,
Today,
Let us remember,
We carry their swords. "

I followed the news very carefully the day I heard you were shot. I followed along while we all hoped and prayed good news would come out of St. Mary's Hospital. I heard on the radio the night you passed away. I was heartbroken to say the least. RIP and I will think of you and all of the fallen officers. RIP.

My heart goes out to Shawn's wife, children, parents, family, friends and fellow officers. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers as you fast these difficult times, now and in the future. May you find comfort in knowing that you have a bigger "family" that is thinking of you and praying for you and in the good times and in the beautiful memories you all have shared. We lost our daughter, EOW 8/1/02, also killed by gunfire in Minneapolis, so we can understand your pain. Shawn's children can be forever proud of their daddy and I feel sadness for them knowing they will only hold him in their hearts and memories, not be held in his arms.

Officer Schneider will now be walking the heavenly beat with all the officers that have gone before him. Rest in peace. God Bless Shawn and his family.
