EN MEMORIA DEL AGENTE JESÚS MARRERO!!!
Todos los días, unos se levantan para hacer el bien y seguir el camino correcto ,,, mientras otros sólo piensan en la maldad que puedan lograr, vicios y caminar la ruta de perdición.
UNOS tendrán la LUZ , mientras los OTROS ,,, las TINIEBLAS.
Agente JESÚS MARRERO , SABEMOS que hoy estás en la GLORIA DEL SEÑOR JESUCRISTO, por cuanto lo amaste y aceptaste como SALVADOR y ÉL TE AMA A TI !!!
Fortaleza para su familia en esta hora de dolor !!!

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 Manatí Municipal Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother! Vaya con Dios Hemano.

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.

MUNICIPAL or STATE POLICE is killed by criminals or in compliance , of his duty that is to save lives and properties, know that our profession is not easy, which is carried in the heart, that we leave our homes, but as we will return unknown. Today the sky in the whole world opens from wide to receive the fallen Municipal Police, JESÚS MARRERO MARTINEZ. Thank you brother for your work my respects as a Retired Lieutenant Col. and thank you, because until the end demonstrated what you are a WARRIOR.
