May God comfort in this time of sorrow your family, your fellow officers and all those whose lives you have touched. You have served your time in hell, now rest comfortably in the arms of God. RIP, we’ll take it from here.

I have laid down my life in service to all of you.
I have been a part of the fabric that has held the line between your safety and your victimization. I have given my life so that others may live in peace. I have lived my life as a dedicated member of the greatest profession. There is no greater honor.

As I now become a part of the rich history of law enforcement, please remember me always for I have left behind those who loved and depended upon me.
My partners and my agency, please remember my family, their loss, and don’t let time soften your compassion for them.

You guard the gate now and I will continue my watch from above.

MAY YOU REST IN PEACE AND MAY YOUR FAMILY FIND COMFORT IN THE GOOD YOU HAVE DONE HERE ON EARTH.

My prayers and sympathies go out to Officer Ellis's wife and sons, as well as to his Bardstown PD family. They all lost a crucial part of their family. Officer Ellis will be remembered forever as an honest, cheerful, hard-working officer who worked every day to make his community a better, safer place. In fact, he was murdered while attempting to do something as simple as clearing a roadway, in order to protect people from harm. To Officer Ellis, you may rest in peace and take comfort in the knowledge that no law enforcement officer in the Commonwealth of Kentucky will rest easy until your killer is found and brought to justice. You have many brothers and sisters in blue who will look out for your family and your community. RIP brother, we'll take it from here.

This is a sad reflection of todays new society which has bred nothing but defective misfits that harbor a hatred and prejudice towards officers of law enforcement. I fear that these misfits are on the increase due to youtube and copwatchers as well as home-grown terrorists like constitutionalists who do not submit to authority. I wish to express my appreciation of officer Ellis who was a hero performing duties in serving the public when he was cowardly ambushed.

Wow so sad to see what this world has come to, I wish people would understand the values of all our men and women in uniform. People look at them as bad guy's because of the tickets and mistakes that many officers make, But what they don't realize is what would we do with out officers in the streets. I hope the person or people that did this pay the price death is to easy i believe in torture. May God stand along his family and may he rest with angels. My heart breaks to see this. RIP and plz bring this person or people to justice !!! :(

My sympathy to the family, friends, fellow law enforcement officers, and to Figo his beautiful K-9. I pray they find this murderer(s). This man is a hero, serving his community and he certainly deserves to have justice served. May God bless his soul.

For Police Officer Jason Ellis:

Our duty as law officers is fraught with risk and danger. Included is the potential for some persons in the public that we serve to seek revenge against a specific officer or any law-officer in general. We regret that Jason would be the next one in our ranks who would suffer and die at the hands of one who lays a trap and kills from the shadows. Jason died as most of us who are human and wear a badge sometimes fear if not for ourselves then for our families.
We rely upon all law-officers everywhere to make it a priority not rest until Jason's murderer is brought to justice. I can tell you from experience Jason's murderer will be found, as our law-enforcement bond with one another remains steadfast and determined. Forever.
We pray for Jason's family, friends, co-workers and all who care about him. May they be ready to reach-out to one another in the days ahead.
We are proud to render Officer Jason Ellis, a soldier-of-the-law, a final salute.

This is a sick sad world when someone with every reason in life to live is taken from us. The degradation and low point that social misfits are willing to crawl to is endless. Cowards need to ambush. Cowards have no backbone to face a strong soldier of justice. His death should be avenged and this or these twisted social garbage animals should be wiped off this planet. I hope they don't survive the trip to jail ! Make room in eternity for this soldier and allow him peace and his family eternal strength!

A portion of a letter from the pen of President Abraham Lincoln, printed in the Boston Evening Transcript on November 25, 1864.

“I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic (he) died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
A. Lincoln”

Somebody killed a policeman today
And a part of America died...
A piece of our country he swore to protect
Will be buried with him at his side.
The beat that he walked was a battlefield, too,
Just as if he had gone off to war;
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half-mast
To his name they will add a gold star.
The suspect that shot him will stand up in court
With counsel demanding his rights,
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids
And spend many long, lonely nights.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today...
Maybe in your town or mine,
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors
A cop put his life on the line.
Now his ghost walks the beat on a dark city street,
And he stands at each new rookie's side;
He answered the call... of himself gave his all,
And a part of America died...

RIP- Officer Ellis
Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. The citizens of this Commonwealth lost a true hero today, as did your family. But we can all rest assure that you are patrolling the beat with streets made of gold in Heaven with the rest of our fallen brethren.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of officer Ellis. I will never forget the day I received the call that my best friend officer Tom wood was killed in a similar way. Just know that your not alone and he will always be remembered as a true hero.
