Your Prayers Please

[emmitt01]

As some of you may know from watching the news tonight one of my brothers, a fellow Dallas officer, was killed by a murder suspect. I ask that, if you are the least bit religious, you pray especially for the officer's family and for me...and Lera because she's a wreck (again) right now.

Thank you.

[KingDL1]

Of course you got it, my prayers and best wishes go to you and yours, your fallen comrade and his family along with the rest of Dallas's finest.

[CMJ]

Stay safe bro...

Being a cop is such a thankless job... so let me take the moment to say "thank you" for all you do, man.

My deepest condolences to the officer, his family, and the DPD.

[ForneyGreen]

Emmitt - our prayers go out to you and the family of the fallen officer. Stay strong!!!

[PlummMeanGreen]

You got it, Emmitt...prayers to each and every one of you that this tragedy has affected.

I spent yesterday morning at the World Trade Center site in New York. While looking at the various photos of police officers and firemen I noticed many that had the captions: "______, an NYPD/FDNY officer, helps people to safety before going back in to help more. He/She died in the collapse." Between those photos and the thoughts of those in my own industry we lost that day, I got so choked up that I had to walk away for a while. I couldn't handle it.

I'd bet that every person who has ever murdered a police officer has been helped by one at one point in their lives... You guys do what is necessary to keep others safe all the time, no matter who they are, yet it takes the death of an officer to make people realize that the cops are more than just guys that hand out tickets when you're in the wrong.

Emmitt, you and your brothers have the most thankless job on the planet and are deserving of our prayers all the time...and especially right now. Your fallen comrade, your department, and you & Lera are in my thoughts tonight. Take care of yourself out there, my friend.

My strongest condolences to the family of your fellow fallen officer. "To Protect and Serve" is more than just a slogan, it's a commitment at the highest level. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

My daughter(class @ 2000) is in Northeast, my son-n-law works the grove/cliff area.....................I went nuts on the phone yesterday to find him...glad to find them both off duty...whew !!!! I work at Friendly Chev...we just got officer Nix's cruiser cleaned and ready for display at the station. Very somber for us here.

[LongJim]

Prayers and best wishes your way, Emmitt. Stay safe.

[MeanGreenBuzz]

both your families are in our prayers

[risinggreen]

I was driving through the immediate area right at the time it was going on and knew that something bad had just happened. My prayers go out to his family and you all for the difficult job you do.

[CawClaw]

My family is very sorry for your loss and thank you for risking your life for us each day. We pray for you to find strength and faith during this time. Our thoughts are with you and your family. I can't imagine your pain.

[UNT_playmaker]

Everyone is very fortunate for the sacrifices you and others do on a daily basis. Our Prayers.

[Green Crazy]

My prayers go out to the officers family.

Thanks for all that you do.

[MeanGreen61]

Pray for his family and his fellow officers who must now deal with the loss of a comrade and friend. When something like this occurs, I still get a vivid flashback to over 40 years ago when I & another officer knocked on the door of a close friend to notify her that her husband (also a DPD officer) had fallen in the line of duty. If you're ever at Police Headquarters, look at the Wall of Honor that has the photographs of officers that have lost their lives in the line of duty. A somber experience.

Emmitt, your family(s) are in our prayers.

9/11 - Never Forget

[Mean Green 93-98]

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of life of a man committed to serving the public good. I very much respect the sacrifice made by men such as yourselves, and I grieve with the family that has to suffer such a terrible loss. Emmitt, your family and the family of the murdered officer will certainly be in our prayers.

[gksmith]

I am always grateful for the Police and always pray for your safety. You guys and girls deserve all of the respect in the world.

I am also very grateful and pray for the safety of Rick and all of the firemen.

My prayers are with all of our public servants.
