Officer Irvine, God must have a need for more angels to surround Him, and He has chosen a young, dedicated man like you. You did good work on earth, and you will continue doing good, even better work in heaven. May our Lord grant you His peace, and may He immerse you and those you've left behind in His Divine Mercy.

We are settling ourselves to the fact that a young man, a Milwaukee Police Officer, died in the line of duty. We are resolved, and reminded, of the work all officers are charged to do. As if late, we have been reminded that there is no other profession that requires the total attention to detail than enforcing the law. Applied void of emotion, equally to the citizenry, these values are surely pursued in hopes we maintain a society of peace and tranquility for all. Peace officers are always the target of naysayers who serve no purpose but to focus their efforts clouding the vision, and redirecting the sight of what law enforcement really is and what it requires. The souls of those who have raised their right hands and recited the oath of office of a peace officer reign sure in their faith in their chosen profession. The citizenry as a whole respects these premises. There are a few who do not feel as the rest. This is their loss indeed.

When we consider the service and the description of the duties of peace officers, we find that most are deficient and are unable to tow the line accordingly. In as much as we wish society would look more favorable in what these brave men and women in the performance of their duties to the public, we are comforted in knowing that there are many who support law enforcement. We cannot forget that those who choose to serve must be held in high regard at all times unless tangible evidence presents itself, through word or deed, that there is a deficiency identified. To wit, these deficiencies are dealt with accordingly.

It is important that obeisance of the law is common practice and not an exception. We cannot allow those who lack the respect of the law to overcome those who do respect the law. Race, Sex, National Origin, Sexual Preferences are never to be used as excuses to exclude or prevent the law from being served properly to citizens, for citizenship The ultimate respect to all must be applied and practiced. The quality of human life cannot be maintained to the affirmative without the firm application of the rule of law.

Police Officers are the first line of defense, and alternatively, the first line of offense when necessary.

A young man has passed away. His contribution is forever noted in the unfortunate fraternity, and sorority, of those who have given all, for their communities.

RESPECT!!!

A Prayer for Comfort:

Scripture teaches us, “Blessed are those who mourn. They will be comforted.” [Matthew 5:4 GW]

Heavenly Father, We come boldly and humbly before Your throne in sincere faithful and fervent prayer to remember the life and mourn the death of our Comrade-in-Blue, Police Officer Charles Irvine, Jr., of the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Police Department. You are the Light, the Love, and the Life. We do not sorrow as those who have no hope, for our hope is in Jesus Christ. We ask that You would comfort each family member, friend, and comrade of Police Officer Charles Irvine, Jr. May they be comforted through Your Word, encouraged through happy memories, and sustained by the hope of the resurrection for all who place their faith in You, Lord God. Amen.

In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whose blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Milwaukee Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!
