Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I am sad to learn of the passing of a Brother and Hero in Chief of Police Justin McIntire. I believe our Heavenly Father has welcomed him home into his loving arms where he will now patrol the Golden Streets of Heaven. May the Lord deliver Blessings, Comfort and Peace to his Family, Friends and all Members of the Brackenridge Borough Police Department, Pennsylvania.

In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whose blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

May you Rest In Peace Chief Justin McIntire. You made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our community. We will never forget your bravery in the face of evil. While so many ran from this danger you ran fearlessly towards it like a hero would. For that we cannot thank you enough and although our small community mourns the loss of a great warrior in what may be one of the darkest days in our history, our love for our community and first responders emits a light that will overcome this darkness. This didn’t weaken our community. We are closer and stronger in spite of this tragedy and we back our Blue!!! I cannot put into words my grief for all the family and loved ones of our Chief. My heart truly breaks for you all as you also made such a sacrifice for our community. My thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to you all.
