Another sad day for LE

Register to hide this ad
My heart and prayers go out to the family and colleagues of Officer Santiago. We just laid to rest the latest Indianapolis Metro Police Officer killed in the line of duty this past Friday. In honor of Officer Renn and Officer Santiago, I'd like to share these words I heard spoken during Officer Renn's funeral ceremony...Men and women who go into law enforcement do not choose this profession for the money, for recognition or thanks, but it is an honorable and necessary job. We all owe a debt of gratitude to those who put on the badge and gun each day to protect society. The thin blue line has now grown thinner.
 
I read somewhere this morning that it was really an assignation. The killer was laying in wait for the officer.

Police Officer's Prayer to St. Michael

Saint Michael, heaven's glorious commissioner of police,
who once so neatly and successfully cleared God's premises
of all its undesirables, look with kindly and professional
eyes on your earthly force.

Give us cool heads, stout hearts, and uncanny flair for
investigation and wise judgement.

Make us the terror of burglars, the friend of children and
law-abiding citizens, kind to strangers, polite to bores,
strict with law-breakers and impervious to temptations.

You know, Saint Michael, from your own experiences
with the devil that the police officer's lot on earth is not
always a happy one; but your sense of duty that so
pleased God, your hard knocks that so surprised the
devil, and your angelic self-control give us inspiration.

And when we lay down our night sticks, enroll us in your
heavenly force, where we will be as proud to guard the
throne of God as we have been to guard the city of all
the people. Amen.
 
Rest in Peace sir. Not even had a chance to do his duty. I hope he and his family, get the best Justice out of this.
 
Don't know what else to say but God Bless, may you Rest In Peace.
 
A sad day for all. My thoughts go out to the family and his fellow officers.:(

Story states the shooter told a witness to watch the news because he was going to be famous. Lo and behold the media did just that. When will they learn?:mad:

I have a son and a daughter interested in pursuing law enforcement as a career. This stuff really gets to me.
 
Rest in Peace, my brother in arms. May God provide you angels to guide your soul to that place reserved those having been slain in the line of duty. May God surround your family, friends, and those left to continue the fight against evil, with His love, comfort and peace.

We ask these things with heavy hearts in the name of Jesus. Amen.

R.I.P. Officer Santiago. :(
 
The criminal/thug underclass has a whole different set of rules by which they think it is appropriate to live. The same kind of stuff has been said by the family of the filth who murdered Officer Renn in Indy. This thug "culture" is a significant issue. (I use "culture" to refer to their group mindset and lifestyle. I have seen better culture in a petri dish.)

Lest anyone think I am referring to a specific ethnic background when I refer to thug culture, I am not. Most of my LE time has been in places that are not all that diverse (majority white, by a lot), and the same crud comes from the lips of "people" of all shades of pigment. The skinhead/supremacist types are a real boil on the posterior of the population, too. I used to enjoy going to calls involving those types with as many non-caucasian and female officers as possible.
 
The garbage dump, or murderer's so called memorial has been taken away from what I was told.

RIP Officer Santiago, you sir will live forever in the hearts of your family of Blue.
 
^Thanks. I'm not always the uncouth, vulgar lout my friends expect me to be, although I can use the all purpose part of speech as such with some skill. :eek: :D
 
Mr. Santiago,

May the Lord's mighty angels deliver your soul to ever lasting peace.

Amen
 
To the OP, I cannot bring myself to like your post, though I thank you for sharing the information. God rest this young officer. I pray the perp has a different eternity in store.
 
I understand that the murderer of this fine officer was killed by the police and now the gangs have threatened to retaliate against the police.

Is it time to do some housecleaning?

Be safe my brothers in blue.
