Beyond tragic. I’m sorry your time was cut short Officer Hare. You are a true hero, who gave his life to save a member of the community. It should never have happened that way, and you should still be with us, but you will always be remembered for your service and heroism. Rest easy brother, we will take it from here.

I am sad to learn of the passing of a Brother and Hero in Police Officer Matthew Hare. I know 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 Easley Police Department, South Carolina.

O God of Peace, so many of America’s Peace Officers who are on the front lines to protect us never make it back home to their families. We pray for these fallen law enforcement officers, Lord God, who gave their lives for us. We pray for the families of these heroes, who have to now endure life without their loved one. Lord God, society tries to move forward, but there is always bloodshed occurring. We approach Your throne of glory and grace to beg of You for peace. Lord God, bring peace to this land – the United States of America. We plead for Your divine intervention to quiet our hearts and unify our communities. Stop the violence that occurs amid our cities. We thank You for all America’s Peace Officers who have died protecting us, and ask that You send an everlasting peace so that America’s Peace Officers on the streets may be safe and return home to their loved ones at the end of their assigned shifts. In Christ Jesus, Your blessed Son, I pray. Amen.

Just terrible. This is when your FTO should be more in charge. Officer safety is our primary responsibility and the safety of your trainee should come first. Just plain sad and terrible. Should never had happened.

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died but by how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family, and the Easley Police Department. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace brother!
