Roscoe Hinson was the father of my friend, Jan and her brother, Tommy. I was only ten when I met their family who lived two houses down and across the street in a beautiful red brick home. Life seemed so normal and perfect. And then, one person can destroy a wonerful family and a brave, gentle man. God bless the Hinson family, I still remember. Now, I am married to a police officer from DC.

I left an inaccurate eow anniversary on my previous reflection. This year is actually the 47th anniversary year of your death, and I am sure you were missed each of those years.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 57th anniversary year of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.

I pray for solace for all those who love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

I still remember you today 46 years later......You were the kind policeman who lived across the street on Winston Drive. Your daughter Jan was my best friend and playmate. I remember your son Tommy and wife Kay. What a lovely family you had. I was a tiny child of ten at the time and you were a hero in my eyes. You have not been forgotten.
I grew up and married a policeman.....and wonder, was it partially because of how wonderful you were.
May God continue to hold you gently in Heaven and to bless your family,

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"
