Despite immediate peril to yourself, you took up the chase. That is exactly what makes cops cops. They go to the sound of the gunfire. To the family, draw comfort from the fact that Officer Lasater was performing at the very highest level, trying to protect the citizens of the city he served. Your service serves as an inspriation to all of us.

"Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his 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 badges
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 times 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 silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

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

To Officer Lasater's Wife, Family, Law Enforcement Family,
I know that nothing that anyone says or does can bring much comfort at this very moment, but please know that myself, along with a very large family of other police survivors, will be here for you in the upcoming weeks, months and years of sadness and sorrow. Please accept my deepest condolences, and my prayers are with you in this horrific time.
