A local deputy with the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office was shot in the line of duty last night (3-4-10). He is in VERY critical condition last I heard. Deputy J.R. Searcy and his family need everyone's prayers. J.R. is married and has 3 children who are all going through the most difficult time in their lives. I do not know them personally but my heart bleeds for them and I cannot imagine what they are going through at this very moment.
My husband is a police officer and every time he goes to work I worry. I worry if he's going to make it home at the end of the shift...I worry about what he will have to deal with that night...all sorts of thoughts go through my mind. For those of you that have husbands, fathers, brothers, mothers, sisters, etc. in law enforcement know what I'm talking about. I happen to have a husband & father in this line of work.
Everyone reading this please pray for Deputy Searcy, his wife and kids, all the OPSO deputies and all law enforcement everywhere. We sometimes forget how dangerous their job is. I get so angry when I hear people talking about how they write tickets to earn the city/parish money or how their egos are so big because of the "power". People with these types of opinions should keep their mouth shut until they go to work and risk their life everyday. Men & women in law enforcement do this every single time they put that uniform on.
Deputy Searcy---you are a hero in so many people's eyes. Thinking and praying for you and your family every minute.
