Reflections for Police Officer Kyle David Olinger

Officer Olinger trained me in the Reading police academy. I never became a police officer but his training made me a better person. I have to say I hated him so much at first but through the training I grew to have so much respect for Kyle that I can honestly say I loved the guy. I will always consider Kyle as the best influencer in my life.

R.I.P. BROTHER Olinger!!!

Nebraska Police Officer

June 2, 2019

"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."

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

Officer Olinger, you fought the good fight, from Marine to Cop, you always had the protection of others forefront in your mind. Sixteen years of fighting after such a horrendous event makes you even more a hero in my eyes. Those who know and love you best will feel your presence for all eternity because, though your physical life is over, you will forever be a part of them, and in a small way, all of us.

God Bless you, Brother and may your rest be ever peaceful.
