Reflections for Police Officer Jamal Mitchell
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.

Officer Jamal Mitchell, I really wish things did not go so bad on your last day. I just saw the body cam video on the Yahoo home page. There you were, running out of your squad car, offering immediate help to someone you thought was shot. The next second, you were shot multiple times. This was heartbreaking. I’m so sorry that your life was taken from you so brutally. You were the best. I loved your beautiful smile, shown in your photo on this page. Rest In Peace young man. God loves you eternally.

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.
