Tragedy strikes too often for our comrades who bleed blue.
I am humbled and outraged each and every day when I read yet, another brother or sister has fallen.
To the family, his wife, there are no words that will comfort you now, I know, because when my brother in blue was ran off the road, my partner, there were NO words to comfort or console me. However, to you, your toddler son, and your newborn daughter, trust in this, the brother and sisterhood reaches out much further than just the area you live. You and your children have a huge network and family for life.
Funding for education, college, to assist you as a single parent.
I know right now, everything's ringing out pure tragedy, but use this system as an advantage down the line.
My partner was so young, three year old son, divorced, only a couple things mattered being a Deputy and his boy.
I know this isn't the normal reflection, but, the truth is, on that cold November night, I lost so much more than my partner, my pal, my buddy, my protector, my comrade in arms,being a woman, in this field, for all those years, wasn't easy, but I had some awesome partners over the years, he was one of the best, funny, always smiling, salt of the earth, so my wife already agnostic, made it very easy for me to LOSE MY FAITH. November 23 2006 and I've not been able to find it again, so if you have faith in something, don't let it slip away, bc it's harder than hell to find again.
I'm truly sorry for your loss, and your suffering, I will say that enormous hole over time, starts to get a little smaller.
Depend on your family in blue.

Back in the days, when cities first formed police departments, the poet Walt Whitman wrote, “I dreamed in a dream, I saw a city, invincible, to the attacks, of the whole of the rest of the earth”. As officers work the streets every day, in cities large and small, we know, better than most, that the dream has not yet been realized. But we, as officers pasted and present endeavor to make the dream reality.
WHY THEM AND NOT ME. As a cop, I’ve asked myself that question many times. But, I’ve come to realize that any cop, on any given day can ask themselves that same question. Some questions have no answers.
Men and women who become officers make a choice, a choice to live a life of service. We choose to put ourselves in harm’s way. To be a guardian … to the people, of this great nation. We will never be able to thank the officers who have gone before us. They made the supreme sacrifice. But this we CAN and WILL do. We will REMEMBER THEM ALWAYS. We will remember that as in life, and in death, they embody all, that we as citizens can hope to be. May God bless our fallen brother Officer Nick Rodman and welcome him home.

My condolences to the family and friends of Police Officer Nicholas Rodman. Losing a loved one is always difficult. Please take comfort in Jesus words found at John 5:28,29 where he said that there would be a resurrection. Just think of the time when you will see your loved ones again, in paradise conditions, here on earth. Once again, my condolences.

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

Abraham Lincoln

"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."
