2 Phoenix Police Officers Shot - AR15.com member Hobbs5624 is no longer with us. LODD- UPDATES in OP (Page 9 of 12)

THE SHEEPDOG’S PRAYER The Knights of Olde were Men of Honor Who used their Might For Right! Today they’re known as Sheepdogs Those who carry on the fight. I am a tired old Sheepdog, The guardian of my flock. I keep the predators at bay And stand watch around the clock. Please stop the Sheep from pulling my teeth. I’ll need them for the fight, When the hungry Wolves come calling Some dark and deadly night. I pray I never need my gun But someday if I do, May my cause be just! My draw be quick! And my aim be ever true! Heaven holds a special place For those who do the deed, Defenders of the innocent In their hour of need. May the Sheep someday be grateful. There’s a debt they cannot pay, To the Sheepdogs who lay it on the line Each and every day. I am proud to be a Sheepdog. I’ve done my very best. I’ll stand my watch until my Maker Calls me home to rest. But when I meet Saint Peter, There’s just one request I’ll make: "Please let me spend Eternity Standing guard at Heaven’s Gate.” And my personal favorite: The Final Inspection The Police Officer stood and faced his God which for all must come to past. He hoped his shoes were shining just as bright as his brass. "Step forward now officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To my church have you been true?" The officer squared his shoulders and sighed. "No Lord, and I'll be straight Those who carry a badge can't always be a saint". I've had to work most Sunday's and I'm sorry I kept silent, And sometimes I've been a little tough because the streets are violent. But I never passed a cry for help just because I shook with fear And please, God forgive me, I've wept so many tears. I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear. If you've a place for me Lord, it needn't be so grand I never expected or had too much, so if you don't…I'll understand. There was a silence about the throne where the saints had often trod And the officer waited quietly for the judgement of his God. "Step forward now officer, you've borne your burdens well Come walk a beat on heaven's streets. You've done your time in hell." RIP Sir. |

Very sad news. Somewhat ironically, I was just google searching to see what would happen if you reassembled your 1911 wrong and missed the barrel lug with the slide stop pin. An Arfcom thread popped up and there was Hobbs offering a wealth of helpful advice to another Arfcommer needing help with his 1911. This is a loss for his local community and Arfcom as a whole. |

Whatever you do, don't read the comments. I would pretty much be OK if some horrible accident happened to some of the commenters. |

ETA: Since his name has been released now, John Hobbs (ARFCom Member HOBBS5624) was killed last night in the line of duty. His partner is in stable condition and I cannot imagine what pain he feels right now with his loss. John was married and has three children. I request that you keep both Officer's families in your thoughts and in your prayers. John and I were both 1911 guys and he loved his .45Auto. Prayers out for John and his family as well as the other officer. My condolences to those of you that were close to him. Must've been a great guy. Hope to meet him in heaven one day. |
