James “Jamie” Earl Givens. “A TRUE HERO” for the awesome “DALLAS POLICE DEPARTMENT”. I still owe Jamie a case of Budweiser, after he hammered me over Pizza in my home when The Celtics won...going away. I’ll repay that case of “Near Beer ” since alcohol was not prohibited in our Baptist up-bring. RIP Jamie...the best human ever to be graced in our times!

You died while allowing others to pay their respects to another brother officer. You almost certainly saved others by your presence but paid the ultimate sacrifice to do so. Gone but not forgotten, RIP.

I pray that everyone will find comfort in Revelation 21:4, where it says "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." Until we can see all of our loved ones again in Paradise, please accept my condolences.

Please excuse the unintentional error sent in my previous reflection. It should have read as follows:

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Jamiewas killed in the line of duty.

To the Givens family, fellow officers, and all who call Jamie beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace. I hope that your family knows that a nation mourned for you.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Sr. Corporal Givens gave to his community and the citizens of Texas and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on July 21, 2018.
