Rest In Peace my Brother in Blue Prayers for you and your family

"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."

I am sad to learn of the passing of a Brother and Hero in Police Officer Loren Courts. I believe our Heavenly Father has welcomed him home into his loving arms where he will now patrol the Golden Streets of Heaven. May the Lord deliver Blessings, Comfort and Peace to his Family, Friends, and all Members of the Detroit Police Department, Michigan.

Police Officers are the fabric that keep a society together. Without the police our streets would become jungles, leading to anarchy. May this officer rest in peace knowing he did his duty honorably and bravely.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Matthew 5:9. Your participation while attempting to arbitrate a conflict between individuals qualified you as a peacemaker. May you rest in peace and may God bless your family always and keep them safe.
