I am sad to learn of the passing of a brother and hero in Police Officer Rasheen McClain. I believe our Heavenly Father has welcomed him home into his loving arms where he will now patrol the Golden Streets of Heaven.

Heavenly Father, You are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Our Brother-in-Blue, Police Officer Rasheen McClain, of the Detroit, Michigan Police Department, was suddenly and violently taken from us on Wednesday, November 20, 2019; shot and killed in the Line-of-Duty while handling a domestic violence complaint. Come swiftly to his aid, have mercy on him, and comfort his family, friends, and colleagues by the power and protection of the cross. We ask this through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one can go to the Father except by way of the Son. Amen.
“The greatest love you can show is to give your life for your friends.”[John 15:13 GW]

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."
You are a true and you will never will be forgotten I lost my dad in the line of duty 24 years ago and I just a married a police officer so I know how your fellow officers and kids and wife is felling so rest easy hero your brothers and sisters got from here.
