"RIP BROTHDR"

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Allen, remember meeting you at the funeral procession for Sgt Scott Johnson and Trooper Gabriel Rich on airport road waiting for them to pass by. After that we had a few run'ins on a few calls. I don't remember most of the FPD officers but you I do. Thank you for protecting the Golden Heart City. You are not forgotten.

When I start my tour of duty God, wherever crime may be, As I walk the darkened sreets alone, let me be close to thee. Please give me understanding with both the youg and old. Let me listen with attentionun until their story's told. Let me never make a judgment in a rush or callous way. But let me hold my patience, let each man have is say. lord if some dark and dreary night, i must give my life, Lord with your everlasting love protect those special in my life.

Condolences to the Brandt family. Absolutely senseless murder. God bless his family. Police officers do their jobs because they love what they do. My brother was killed in the line of duty. I hope the justice system goes after the killer. You are in my prayers!
