ShtBeminio, my prayers are with you and your family. I don't normally talk harshly about people who break the law, but the SCUMBAG who did this to you and officer Martin combined with their LONG LONG LONG list of social crime, is the exception and deserves ONLY the ULTIMATE Sentence. NOTHING less. And on their judgement day they will be sent straight to HELL and DENIED access to heaven

"The Thin Blue Line"

There is a line
the color of the sky
on a clear afternoon

There is a line
the hue of the ocean
on a bright sunny day

There is a line
the purest shade of a newborn's eyes
awakening for the first time

There is a line
that protects us from harm
in all we do
whether day or night

There is a line
no one can penetrate
no one can alleviate

There is a line
made of those who choose
to follow a calling many do not hear
and still more do not comprehend

They choose to walk
the path of fear, hate, and mistrust
taken by so few
but marked by so many

And when one leaves this line
they leave a legacy
but the line does not break
for the remaining must still protect

There may be emptiness
a loss, or sadness
but never a hole
not in this line

This line that holds
the ghosts of the souls who have gone
and the souls of the ghosts who will be
The Thin Blue Line
