i am a police detective in West New York, Nj. I just completed the police unity tour, I road for my brother Javier Arana. I wore his bracelet for the entire ride.
Althought the ride was tough it was well worth representing one of my fallen brothers!
To the friends and family of Mr Arana it was my pleasure to ride for your loved one.

I am from California and have lived in several states. I must say that Texas DPS Troopers are the most professional law enforcement officers I have had the honor of meeting. Trooper Arana, thank for your service. Not only to this great state that my family and I now call home, but also to our great nation. You are truly a hero sir.

Though I never knew him, he was part of my Law Enforcement family and I will mourn this deep loss the rest of my life. My heart aches with all the losses we have suffered, and continue to suffer, through the years. God is our only peace through such incidents. May family & friends feel the presence of the "God of All Comfort" as they endure the distressing days ahead. I join them in their agonizing grief & remember them in my prayers.

Another senseless tragedy
Another day of grief,
Another day of praying
To help us find relief.

Relief from bitter anguish
Relief from rage so great,
Relief from lenient justice
Which continues to seal our fate.

Relief from heartache’s torment
As we continue on,
Oh, the awesome loss of brotherhood
Now that you are gone.

Though our hearts are deeply broken
And our tears forever flow,
There’s a comforting assurance
That now with God you go.

We know that you are welcome
Now at Heaven’s gate,
While meeting brothers & sisters
Who also met such fate.

The family of Law Enforcement
Knows no distance here or there,
And we recall in comfort
You await us there.

Trooper Arana,
Sir, as a fellow Marine and LEO I would just like thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for Country as well when you served in the USMC. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. I am a Border Patrol agent stationed in El Paso and have nothing but respect for DPS Troopers because they always treat us good. I also attended your funeral-I've never seen so much Law Enforcement in one place before in my life-it was very impressive.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"
