Reflections for Investigator William "Alden" Elliott

"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."

Investigator Elliott,

I'm saddened to learn of this terrible tragedy. This has been a horrible month for law enforcement in our nation. We have lost far too many law enforcement officials to violence and senseless accidents. I will pray for your wife and child, as well as all your friends, loved ones, family and colleagues. Rest in peace.

Greater love has no one than this, that a person will lay down his life for his friends. - John 15:13
