No, not again dear Lord! Will sorrowfully add yet another officer, CHRISTOPHER RYAN MORTON and his family, friends and coworkers to my daily prayers. Also, to the Officers posting here, I wish you all peace and safety while you carry on protecting people, some of whom don't even deserve it. You are all in my prayers every day. I will speak CHRISTOPHER RYAN MORTON's name so that his sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Members of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police understand this pain. To honor Officers Tony Morelli and Eric Joering, our staff asks that everyone offer condolences and share this link. The Morelli, Joering and our Police families received love and support from all over the world when Tony and Eric were killed in the line of duty. That provided strength during that tragic time.

We ask that everyone send that same level of love and support to the immediate family of Officer Christopher Ryan Morton and the extended law enforcement family of the Clinton, Missouri Police Department.

The two additional officers who were shot are in our thoughts and prayers for a full and speedy recovery.

End of Watch Tuesday, March 6, 2018.


Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your memory.


I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

Officer Morton, Brother, it's always especially tragic when one of these animals decides to kill themselves AFTER hurting/killing innocent people. The people of Clinton, MO lost a dedicated Police Officer and all in Law Enforcement feel that pain as well. We also feel the anger.

Thank you for your service both to the people of Missouri and the nation as a whole.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace.

"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."
