May God enfold all who suffer at this time of loss in his arms. May we all find comfort in our Justice system and may we all gain the knowledge that the cause of so much grief and suffering will be handled to the greatest extent of the law. And may Officer Jensen rest in peace in our wonderful heaven above, with the knowledge that his conviction will be carried on through the service of his brothers and sisters in blue. Finally may his family, friends, and brothers and sisters in blue be blessed with comfort at this time of sorrow. God bless us all!!!

I didn't know you personally, but I have heard stories about you from friends who did. When I put the uniform on I hope to be half the cop you were.
Soon I will be able to call you 'brother' and thank you with my service.
Rest in peace, Jared.

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry a badge
can't always be a saint."
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly 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 here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell"
Rest in Peace Brother, we have the watch from here.

GONE TOO SOON
Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon

Jared, I regret that we never had the chance to know each other better. Those times we would pass in the hall at Sand Creek and say hello do not seem to be enough.
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family now, but I'm at peace knowing that you will be looking over us from heaven. You will be missed and never forgotten.

I come from a family of police officers,3 of which are CSPD officers. As soon as I heard the news, I was extremely angry and saddened. I stopped my work duties, closed my eyes and bowed my head to pray. I asked that God welcome officer Jensen into his Heaven and be with the Jensen family in this time of need. I did not know Officer Jensen, but I thank him and all officers for for the work that they do. I am sorry to his family and to the CSPD family for their ultimate loss. May God be with you all.
