End of Watch: Officer David Allen, Abilene PD, TX, Aug. 31, 2015

So many police officers murdered in the last few days.  I have literally not been able to blog because of this terrible feeling in my gut.  There is a war on police officers, especially White officers.  Officer Don Allen was a victim of that war, one way or another.

First, it is so hard to see a young man like that struck down in his prime, especially when we learn that the officer was tortured before finally being killed by at least two cold-hearted individuals.  Second, it is hard to believe that the murder of this police officer may have been committed by persons who attempted to use the current Black citizen against White police officer climate to cover up a crime that may or may not be connected to the current Hate Cops theme that is raging around the country.  The investigation into Officer Allen's murder continues, and I will not speculate any more than I already have.  But I eagerly await more information regarding the motive behind this officer's murder.

But in the meantime I honor Officer David Allen and thank him for his service to his neighbors and his country.  Officer Allen was engaged to be married next year, and leaves behind his grieving fiancée.  May God comfort her.  May God be with the Allen family as well, and the officers of the Abilene Police Department.  These people have lost a loved one and a valued member of the police family.

I also pray that this inexplicable and savage hatred of police officers, hatred to the point of murder, should be halted.  There are some people that have legitimate grievances with police officers, and they have all the means they need to obtain justice without resorting to murder.  Most honest people do not condone police misconduct and are not afraid to pass this message on through juries and grand juries.  And...most honest people do not condone murder and assault of innocent police officers by radical terrorists.  It is time for citizens to stand with police officers and to be ready and willing to assist or even to protect police officers if the circumstances require it.

Here is something all people should remember:  Anyone that is willing to murder a police officer, whatever the motivation may be, is certainly willing to murder innocent citizens as well.  This is one reason that such intense investigation follows an officer's murder.  Cop killers have crossed a line that tells us they are not bound by any law, and are willing to kill ANYONE, for ANY REASON.  In the current atmosphere, this means that Black terrorists who are now willing to kill White police officers are certainly willing and able to kill White citizens in general. 

I am not advocating division and civil strife.  I am calling on all people, both White and Black, and any other race as well, to join together and recognize that we all "matter."  All our lives matter!  Police officers, in the vast majority, are themselves law-abiding citizens who are trying to do a very difficult job.  We the people, at least those who want law and order, should not condone police misconduct, and certainly we should not condone nor stand idly by while our police officers are murdered by the fringe.  Neither should White people blame Black people for the acts of a very small group of terrorists who have declared war on the police.  In fact, we must resist the efforts of a few to polarize millions of good Americans into separate factions bent on each others' destruction.

If there is anything good at all that might come from the murder of these good men and women in blue, let it be that all people, White, Black, or whatever else, join together in support of the police and also join together to reclaim our country from the thugs who are trying to bring us into anarchy.

May God bless the family of David Allen, of Deputy Goforth, and of all those who have lost their men and women in blue. 

And God Bless America
