A particularly tragic set of circumstances, in which my sympathy goes out to the loved ones of all three victims ... the Police Officer, the Doctor who was shot by her ex-fiancée, and the bystander.
All Police murders are tragic, but this comes with a cruel twist.

RIP brother. The oath to serve and protect is one you lived by and were taken from us by. But knowing a hero as yourself, a true hero, there's nothing you would of second guessed or stopped in your boots as people needed your help. God bless you and your family. St Michael watch over this, and all the heros in your land, another find officer taken from us and way to soon in life and career.

Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the Peacemakers for they shall be called the Son’s of God. Rest easy my young Brother. You ran towards, never away, you held the line while knowing well that you may have to pay the ultimate price which brings those blue tears to my eyes but, it also reminds me what I’ve known since Jan 69’ where I spent my lifetime in NCSHP—THAT...the always running towards and after is what separates US from those who possess a heart of darkness and soul of pure evil, and heartbreakingly as the older I get the more it seems to hurt those of us Law Enforcement Officer’s that have been left behind unable to do anything but wish we could have taken your place Son. It’s even more painful when you’re only boy chose to follow in your footsteps and all you can do is hope, teach him all that your life behind the badge taught yourself, and pray that his number won’t be the next one called. I can only pray that your family and loved ones will be comforted by the Lord’s protecting hand til the day they get to see their young Hero again in heaven. I started this with a name I love and I pray that the scripture that is Matthew 5:9 will forever ring aloud to all who loved you Brother simply because it is the truth. God Bless you, your family, your Blue family, and the innocent lives you saved by giving yours...Running towards the darkness head on and knocking it down as heroes like you do and have and always be at the ready to do in the hopes and prayers that others may live. God Speed Brother.

TO THE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES OF CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT, POLICE OFFICER SAMUEL JIMENEZ.
My heart is filled with great sadness at learning of the lost of your loved one and fellow Police Officer.
We in the law enforcement community are a family, although our uniforms may be a different style and vary in color, a badge, shield or star may be pinned upon our chest.
Our areas of enforcement may vary but our goals are the same, to Serve and Protect our communities. We consist of many different agencies from across the nation, for we are: Municipal Police Officers, Sheriff’s Deputies, State Police Investigators, State Highway Patrol Troopers, Conservation Police Officers, Correctional Officers and Federal Agents just to name a few.
We patrol small towns, large cities, college campuses, county roads, state highways, state prisons, county jails, state parks and the United States Borders. Whether active duty or retired, we are one family, a Law Enforcement Family, the thin blue line of protectors, brothers and sisters bonded together by HONOR, SERVICE and PRIDE. Daily we honor our fallen brothers and sisters never forgetting their sacrifice and the sacrifices of their families.
Daily our position is clear that we will Serve and Protect our communities without faltering and with no hesitation. Daily we show pride in our chosen profession LAW ENFORCEMENT, for we willingly walk the line of good over evil facing the unknown with courage keeping our trust and our faith in GOD.
We know that evil roam these streets and at any moment in the course of performing our duties the ultimate sacrifice might be required of us in the service to our community, for Law Enforcement is not a job but a calling and only a few will make the decision to commit to that calling to serve for some will give all that they have.
ALL LIVES MATTER - LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS SHOULD BE RESPECTED - If we don’t respond to that call for help, or investigate that suspicious subject(s), or stop for that stranded motorist, or rush to that call of shots fired, then who will?
OFFICER JIMENEZ
You did not die in vain.
You sacrificed your life in the service to the citizens of the City of Chicago in the State of Illinois with HONOR, PRIDE and DISTINCTION.
I’m proud to have worn the uniform of a law enforcement officer like you did.
I’m proud to have pinned the badge upon my chest like you did.
I’m proud to have Served and Protected my community as you did.
I’m proud to call you my BROTHER!
I commend you my fallen brother for making the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of your duty.
For you left us doing what you chose to do.
Performing a job you were trained to do.
Upholding the oath you swore to do.
Most importantly doing what you loved to do................. Serving and Protecting your community with Honor and Pride making a better and safer place for us all.
FOR THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR IT, “LIFE HAS A FLAVOR THE PROTECTED WILL NEVER KNOW “.
FINAL CALL
Officer Jimenez status....................
Officer Jimenez status....................
Officer Jimenez status....................
Attention All Units.........................Chicago Police Department, Police Officer Samuel Jimenez having served the citizens of the City of Chicago in the State of Illinois with HONOR, PRIDE and DISTINCTION is now 10-42.
Rest In Peace my fallen brother, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN !!!
