Once the badge goes on, it never comes off, whether they can see it, or not. It fuses to the soul through adversity, fear and adrenaline and no one who has worn it with pride, integrity and guts can ever sleep through the “call of the wild” that wafts through the bedroom windows in the deep of the night. Rest in peace brother Morrissy, we’ll take it from here.

Police Officer James Morrissy,
When you made your decision to enter law enforcement some thirty years ago you became blessed:
For the Lord said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." Matthew 5:9 ESV
When you responded to back up a brother officer on Monday, March 17, 2014, you answered God's call to serve:
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, "Here am I! Send me." Isaiah 6:8 ESV
As a result, you sacrificed your life so that others might live and be protected:
And the Lord said, "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13 ESV
I, along with your family, friends and comrades, will mourn your sacrifice and loss in the line of duty:
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4 ESV
Now go! Rise up! And do battle against evil as an angel for the Lord!
In God's merciful love,
Pastor Steven R. Closs

Domestic calls are too often serious and he responded like hs was sworn to do in backing up a fellow officer. Too often, those who are there to protect us are injured or killed in their attempt to do so.
My best wishes go out to the family in ther time of grief.
