"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 suspect who shot him will stand up in court,
With counsel demanding his rights,
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids
And spend alone many long nights.
The beat that he walked was a battlefield, too,
Just as if he'd 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.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
It happened 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 a beat on a dark city street,
And he stands at each new rookie's side.
He answered the call and gave us his all,
And a part of America died."

I'm a former APD officer and currently serve as a Sgt in south Florida. I met Nick at a local gas station during a trip there over the summer. We talked about how much APD has changed and how it once was. He seemed like a man who deeply cared about his community and his job as a public servant. God speed, Nick, and condolences to the Smarr family. Your city and your country mourn your loss greatly. You will be missed.
