The
hazards of being a police officer are well know within the law enforcement
community. It is to them and all that have and will pay the price for
our safety that the following is dedicated.
A Part Of America Died
Somebody killed a policeman today And a part of America died A piece of our country he swore to protect Will be buried with him at his side. The beat that he walked was a battlefield, too, Just as if he had gone off to war; Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half-mast To his name they will add a gold star. The suspect that shot him will stand up in court With counsel demanding his rights, While a young widowed mother must work for her kids And spend many long, lonely nights. Yes, somebody killed a policeman today Maybe in your town or mine, While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors A cop put his life on the line. Now his ghost walks the beat on a dark city street, And he stands at each new rookie's side; He answered the call of himself gave his all, And a part of America died Author Unknown
