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, and may the Lord watch over you and your family in this their time of need.

I send my condolences to the family, friends, and Colorado Springs Police Department regarding the demise of Officer Jared Jensen. Unfortunately, I have lost another brother because of a cowardly 'thug with a gun'. I hope the suspect is given the maximum punishment available by law because of his cowardly act. I hope everyone that knew this officer will continue to remember his bravery, courage, and the legacy in which he left behind.

Officer Jensen your shift is over now, we will take it from here. Rest in peace, brother...

We are always a split second behind the suspect's actions and that disadvantage, however slight, leads to our fellow Officers being injured and killed. I salute your courage for making that fatal contact. I regret your loss. I thank you for your proactive efforts and ultimate sacrifice. Rest in peace and I pray that those who love you find peace.

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.
