Reflections for Senior Police Officer Jorge Pastore
On behalf of the Ohio Attorneys General Bureau of Criminal Identification & Investigation, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Senior Police Officer Jorge Pastore and the extended law enforcement family of the Austin Police Department, Texas.
End of Watch Saturday, November 11, 2023.
Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.
I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

I am so sorry to hear this. I heard in the news 2 Florida pice officers were shot too. I wish they responded with 2 cars for domestics. My heart goes out to the family and the department

God loves peace keepers. I do not feel sorry for Pastore, because he's safe in the arms of our Lord forever in the house most high. It's his friends and family that have to continue on without him that I feel for. God will give you strength if you trust in him. Thank you brother for the life you gave for your community. There isn't enough words in the dictionary to explain how greatful we all are that men like you exist.
