"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
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 awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just 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 unmanly tears.
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 had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

God Bless you Cuauhtemoc Estrada. May the good Lord above cradle you in his arms, and may you Rest in Peace as my police brother. My wife and I offer our prayers and sympathies to each and every one of your family members, friends, and co-workers. Watch over us and keep us safe, we will walk together again one day.

Investigator Estrada, you could have ducked back inside and just continued to have a good time, but you saw a need and you acted, not in a reckless manner, but in a professional one. Though it may have cost you your life, it may very well have saved the life of the robbery victim. May the scum responsible for your death face true justice, if not in this life, the next.
Thank you for your service to the Unites States and the people of Cook County.
God Bless and may you forever, Rest in Peace, Brother.
