Officer Billue, thank you for your service, in all your service. You are truly a hero in so many ways.
You are honored and mourned here, we all know that your murderers will not be mourned OR honored by any respectable human being on Earth who isn't obligated to so so, aka Clergy.
May God Bless you and all whom you leave behind, but so long as they keep you forever in their hearts and minds, you'll never truly be gone, Brother.
Rest in Peace.

A loss of a fellow correctional worker hurts everyone in the profession. I work at the federal level however a loss to you is a loss to us all. May they find these thugs and do what they should do to them. May the families, friends and loved ones affected be comforted by y'all.

"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."

Absolutely overwhelmingly tragic and beyond words. I, and the entire nation, am outraged and saddened by this. Thank you not only for your service to the state of Georgia but, truly, to the entire country. You lived as a hero and will forever be remembered as one.

It is sad that the world has evil men that hurt innocent people.
The creatures that killed these to fine officers deserve swift justice and that is all.
I applaude and salute these fine officers that now guard the streets of gold and I condemn the evil animals that took their lives as they were protecting the innocent.
May God comfort the families and loved ones left behind and may he allow swift justice to the evil.

On Behalf of Delaware DOC We Extend Our Condolences and Prayers to Officer Billue and Officer Monica Families and Our Fellow Correctional Officers of Georgia Law Enforcement.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray Psalm 91 over all LEO’s and this prayer also:
“Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”
Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.
I have lifted your family to God every morning for over six years. I pray that Curtis's life and death will bring glory to His name.
Trust those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.
Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.
