Officer Hartfield is proof that a police officer is never off duty. The moment someone went down and shots rang out, he went to work. Though outgunned, out-positioned and in the line of fire, he displayed heroism and courage on an unimaginable scale. I pray for his wife, who probably, naturally, asked him to leave. I pray she will find peace with his decision and be comforted knowing he chose to show the greatest act of love humanly possible - to lay down his life for someone he did not even know. God bless you Sir. May God approve you a good and faithful servant.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13
I'm tired of all the anti-police rhetoric from politicians & people who have no concept of what it's like to wear the badge or to watch those you love wear it and wonder each shift, whether or not they'll make it home safely. God bless all the men and women in blue, for they are at the front lines domestically, just as our soldiers are at the front lines in foreign lands. Life would be hell without police officers who protect and serve and keep the peace. Thank you for all you do.
Rest easy, Officer Hartfield. Condolences to all who knew and loved you. Your unselfish act of courage will not be forgotten.

A Prayer for Police Officer Charleston Hartfield:
Lord God of Mercy, Peace, and Love, we remember before Your throne in this moment our Brother-in-Blue, Police Officer Charleston Hartfield, of the Las Vegas, Nevada Metropolitan Police Department, who sacrificed his life in the Line-of-Duty. We recall with gratitude and respect all that he stood for in this life. Help us to live in the companionship of his spirit. May we be kind to the family, friends, and colleagues he loved; devoted to the community and state in which he served; and loyal to the causes which he championed in law enforcement. Thus, in our life, may he live on, to our great comfort, to the betterment of Your creation, and to the furthering of Your most Holy Will. Almighty God, we ask that you grant us a deeper appreciation of the efforts of all police officers who serve our communities, counties and states daily. For their dedication to our security, order and peace, we give You thanks. May they be encouraged in their work which benefits us all. Help us to grow that spirit of community that will make their job both easy and fulfilling. And now may our fellowship together and Your blessing today bring a renewed sense of joy to each of us. Amen.
