Everyday, just heading out the door puts you into the potential last
Call. Live your life each and everyday as if it were your last. No one
Knows what to expect when you step out of that unit. Routine calls
Don't exist, nothing could be further from reality then expecting it
To be "routine". I'm sure Lt. Weatherford wasn't expecting to be
Engaged in a firefight as he was backing up his fellow officer, but,
He paid the ultimate price. God Bless him and his family as they lay
This brother to rest, may he Rest In Peace!!

"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."

"...killed while backing up another officer..." - that quote alone captures all the emotions of both pride and pain I feel with this news. Thank you for your service, Lieutenant Patrick Weatherford.

Lord God of mercy, peace, and love, we remember before Your throne in this moment our Brother-in-Blue, Lieutenant Patrick Weatherford, of the Newport, Arkansas Police Department, who sacrificed his life in the Line-of-Duty.

God, filled with mercy, dwelling in the heavens' heights,
bring proper rest beneath the wings of your Lord,
amid the ranks of the holy and the pure,
illuminating like the brilliance of the skies the soul of Patrick Weatherford who went to his eternal place of rest.
May You who are the source of mercy shelter him beneath Your wings eternally,
and bind his soul among the living, that he may rest in peace. And let us say: Amen.
