Matthew 5:9 blessed are the Peacemakers for they shall be know as sons of God.
Lord, hold his family in your hands now and in the time ahead.
E.O.W. Officer Scotty Hamilton. Rest easy brother, we will pick up your mantle and handle it from here.
You have earned your place with the Lord.
Too young, too many, too soon!

"The 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."

Officer Hamilton, as we go deeper into the Lenten season, with thoughts of the death of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am one with your wife and child in mourning the loss of their husband and dad. Thank you for your unselfish service. Rest in peace, true and faithful servant.

Officer Hamilton and family
This particular shooting hit hard--obviously this shooting, like all was seemingly senseless and almost too much to comprehend. The wanted suspect, as is often the case, is an ex-felon. Thank you for your service to your community, and to this great nation. I pray that your family will somehow recover and live on with pride, knowing that they had a chance to spend a short time with such a great man--a man who was sacrificed, while protecting the citizens of his community. You will always be remembered and honored by all.

Members of the Westerville, Ohio Division of Police understand this pain. Our staff asks that everyone offer condolences and share this link. The Morelli, Joering and our Police families received love and support from all over the world when Tony and Eric were killed in the line of duty. That provided strength during that tragic time.

We ask that everyone send that same level of love and support to the immediate family of Police Officer Scotty Hamilton and the extended law enforcement family of the Pikeville Police Department, Kentucky.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your memory.


I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.

By Jon F. Hooper
