Reflections for Officer Blaize Alyxander Madrid-Evans
As you departed the bonds of this earth and touched the face of God, know that your selfless service, commitment and dedication you had for your family, fellow officers and a grateful nation will never be forgotten.
May God comfort in this time of sorrow your family, your fellow officers and all those whose lives you have touched.
You have served your time in hell, now rest comfortably in the arms of God. Rest easy Hero, we’ve got it from here.

"Somebody killed a policeman today,
And a part of America died.
A piece of our country he swore to protect
Will be buried with him at his side.
The suspect who shot him will stand up in court,
With counsel demanding his rights,
While a young widowed mother must work for her kids
And spend alone many long nights.
The beat that he walked was a battlefield, too,
Just as if he'd gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast,
To his name they will add a gold star.
Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
It happened in your town or mine.
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors,
A cop put his life on the line.
Now, his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street,
And he stands at each new rookie's side.
He answered the call and gave us his all,
And a part of America died."

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.
There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.
