Just talked to Jdubz and he is understandably upset. Metro police officer dies from injuries after early-morning crash - Breaking News - ReviewJournal.comhttp:/www.lvrj.com/news/breaking_news/44521912.html Thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I was contacted by Sho nuff that he was related to a fellow rider Big Baby.

I saw that this morning and it's horrifying. I immediately thought of JDub as I'm sure every member of Metro are felt as brothers and sisters. I watched the news conference and it made me sick to my stomach the reason and the how it occured. My prayers are with his family, friends and with his Metro family.

Definately a sad ending. Wonder what the protocal is for Metro to use their lights and siren. Several witnesses said both cars did not have them on. But from those pictures, they had to be moving at a pretty fast clip.

I Thank each and everyone for their thoughts and prayers, this is a sad day for many reasons, the world lost a great father, son, boyfriend, friend and brother, and while most people understand this, the frickin media just kills me. The realization hits that this could have been me! I say (2) two prayers every morning before logging on. The 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. A POLICE OFFICER'S PRAYER Lord I ask for courage Courage to face and Conquer my own fears... Courage to take me Where others will not go... I ask for strength Strength of body to protect others And strength of spirit to lead others... I ask for dedication Dedication to my job, to do it well Dedication to my community To keep it safe... Give me Lord, concern For others who trust me And compassion for those who need me... And please Lord Through it all Be at my side... --Author Unknown Now I pray for the family!!!!! I leave you with this: As an Officer everyone hates us, except when they need us. We do the job many do not want, or could not do for that matter. Yes we drive fast, but think about this: next time your family member needs us imagine to yourself us stopping for every traffic light. Thank you for listening and to my friends thank you for thinking about me and my family on this very sad day. Last edited by JDubz63; 05-07-2009 at 05:33 PM. | |

JDub, this world is such a better place with you and all the officers that protect us and put their lives on the line by doing so each and every day. Reading those prayers gave me goose bumps and now my mascara is running. Thank you SO much for sharing those with us.
