Thank you for your service to your community, Chief. Rest in peace, brother.

My prayers go out to the family of this fine example of a servant of community and our Lord. I have no doubt that Chief Profitt is serving as a bailiff in His court. His loss is not an ending; but rather a new beginning in the kingdom of Heaven.

Had this 'man' not committed so many crimes, you would not have had to arrest him so many times. With luck, he'll get his wish and never be arrested again, being in prison for the rest of his life whether it ends naturally or otherwise.

Chief, you did a lot for your community and may you now take a well earned, albeit a rest taken all too soon.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.

Officer Herbert was obviously a legend who had dedicated most of his life to protecting and serving the public. It is tragic such a faithful individual had to be taken away by such a cowardly act. RIP officer. You did well.
