Reflections for Officer James E. Scott

Officer Scott,
On today, the 100th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Omaha.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 89th anniversary 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 murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never dimishes respect, not even 89 years.

It was sadly ironic that seven years to the day before your death, your department suffered another lod death.

Rest In Peace

A PIECE OF AMERICA DIED

Somebody killed a policeman today
and a piece 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 many long, lonely nights
The beat that he walked was a battlefield too
just as if he had gone off to war.
Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half staff
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 laid his life on the line
Now his ghost walks the beat on a dark city street
and he stands at each new rookie's side
He answers the call, and gave us his all
and a piece of America died

Rest in Peace, Hero.
