Reality

Imagine how our world would be
If every police officer quit
Turned in their gun, turned in their badge,
Just finally had enough of it.

No respect, no loyalty,
No appreciation of all they do,
They’d give their lives for all of us,
These wonderful officers of “Blue”.

Kicked at, spit on,
Punched, stabbed and shot,
Everyday assaults on officers,
Done…without thinking a second thought!

Our laws are in favor of criminals,
There’s always some loophole in their case,
Out again to commit more crimes and murders
…creates pain, that we, the family and friends
…in time will never erase.

Why should they do it?
Why take the risk?
Why put their life on the line?
Subject their loved ones to endless suffering,
When their precious life is lost while fighting crime.

More murders, more kidnappings, more robberies and rapes,
Just to mention a few,
Please ask yourself how life would be,
If there were NO officers in Blue!

Would you do it? Could you do it?
And for how many…would YOU give it all?
Rewards are a 21 gun salute, a Medal of Honor,
And your name gets added to the Wall.

Think about it. Why are they here?
And why do some hate them so?
Because they enforce the laws that put convicts and murderers
In jail serving time, or on “Death Row”.

All give some and some give all,
It’s a risk they chose to take:
To put their heart and soul in it,
To put their lives at stake.

So, please take a moment,
Please give it deep thought,
Think of what “you can do”…

To help show respect,
To help follow the laws,
So we’d quit losing our Heroes in Blue!

I was just checking in to see the reflections of our own fallen hero (Luke Hoffman, EOW 4/26/2007) and was saddened to read of the two deaths that have already occurred since then. My heart goes out to the family, friends, and law enforcement community as any officer death is a true tragedy. You are all in my prayers.

Watch over your brothers and sisters in blue. Rest easy - you will never be forgotten.

To the Family of Deputy Gama,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I lost my brother in 2004 to a driver who fell asleep at the wheel. I know your pain from such a senseless act, and there is no legitimate answer that could ever possible explain "WHY". Be proud of who he was and what he did with his life. I am sure that he made a positive impact on more lives than you could ever imagine. I know this because I know how many individuals were touched by my brother. I find peace in the fact that my brother died doing what he loved, I pray that you will someday do the same.

I ran into Captain Mabrey of our Traffic Division this morning and that was how I first learned of your death. He was on his way to conduct the investigation. My sympathy to your family, friends, and coworkers at LASO. Another example that no assignment in law enforcement is ever routine. I will be thinking of you tonight and in the years to come. One more angel. One more public servant gone to soon.
