Trooper Nikky Joe Green

Trooper Green, i'm sorry for what happened to you on that morning over 20 years ago, as your murder should've never happened, and that the man who killed you was merciless as he was cruel both inside and out. However, he didn't get away after executing you, as he was eventually caught and sentenced to death, meaning that one day justice will truly be served, and that he will pay the price for what he has done to you. That man didn't murder a trooper, he murdered a father, a husband, a son, a friend, and a man who was willing to lay his life down for others. From what i learned about this case revolving the man who took your life, i learned that the man who killed you had initially planned to harm another officer, as i learned he had a firearm on him before this occured, which should tell anybody the kind of person he was towards law enforcement as he was overall just a bad human being. I've said this before and i will continue to say it, it just doesn't make sense to me on why people are so willing to harm police officers, simply because they're doing their job in protecting and serving others. Even if somebody doesn't like the police or respects them, it doesn't mean that they have the authority to harm them, and for what? I don't think i'll ever understand the mentality it takes to not only hurt others, but to take it out on police who have done nothing to deserve it. There really are some evil people in this world, and the man who took your life is one of them, simply because he was not only down a bad path in his life, but also because he had the nerve to murder a trooper that was doing his job and making sure that he pays for what he has done, but as it turns out, that man had other plans. Considering the man who killed you is still alive to this day and is on death row as we speak, i'd like to say that although i don't personally wish death upon him or say anything negative, i only pray that he has repented of his sins and has asked our Father for forgiveness, because i believe that he could've avoided taking another person's life and changed for the better and found God before it all spiraled downhill from there. It takes a certain type of evil to really harm a police officer, since police are there to protect us all and make sure that we feel safe and secured, but when there's people that roam this earth who wanna harm them and take their lives, it truly does nudge me the wrong way, as it should with anyone. From what i learned about you Mr. Green, was that i learned you were a man with a strong faith. I learned that in your last moments, you called out to the Lord and said his name aloud, and although i won't get into the details of what happened, all i'll say is that you asked for mercy, and although it unfortunately wasn't given to you, i do know that when you passed, the Lord came and gave you rest. That alone shows that even in the face of danger and in the presence of evil, you knew that God would be there to help you and in this case, he did come to your rescue, while also making sure that the man who took your life did not get away entirely, although he did try but he failed to get away. Despite it being almost 22 years since you passed and went to be with our Father, i can say that i'm sure your family is doing well. Although you passed before i was born and i never got to meet you, i know now that your daughters and your foster child have since grown up to pursue great things in life, and they honor you each day with the things they do as they reflect your light and demonstrate the things you would've done if you were here right now. If there's one thing i know about State Troopers, is that they're the backbone of the states and cities they patrol in. I know that in your 6 years of service to OHP, i know that you were able to change the lives of those who met you and everyone else around you as even now you're still talked about and remembered, as it should be for future generations of police and troopers around America to learn about who you were and the things you did, along with the fact you fought till the very end, and as much as i wish that you won the fight and took the suspect down, i do know that justice has really been served and you're at rest with the Lord. What i can say is that your service and sacrifice to the citizens of Oklahoma has shown what it means to face evil and fight until the very end, and that alone takes alot of courage and bravery to do as some people aren't meant for it, but i do know that a man like you wasn't intimidated by that alone and you went in. As somebody who's only a civilian and has a dream of joining Law Enforcement one day, i believe that in a way i'm inspired by what Mr. Green did on that morning, as he went in and not only did his job, but he went in and faced evil to the end. I've seen cases where officers have died in terrible ways, but i think that the story of Trooper Green has changed me in a way when it comes to facing dangerous situations, and as i said before, i'm not an officer myself, but what i will say is that i can learn from him and not be intimidated or scared when facing a potential threat. Before i finish off my reflection, i will say this; I don't wish harm on the man who took Mr. Green's life, but instead i wanna say that i forgive him for what he did, as it's what our Lord would've done for him, and i'm sure Mr. Green would as well, but we know in the end we can't go back and change what we think should've happened. Whatever happens between the man that murdered Trooper Green in the end, it's all between him and God, as he is still serving his time on the death sentence. As of now, may you rest in peace Trooper Green, and just know that no matter how much time goes on and how long it's been since you gained your wings, just know that your actions and service will never be forgotten. One thing i firmly believe in is that as long as your name is said and you're truly remembered for the things you did, and how you lived along with how you changed people's lives in a positive aspect with your time as a trooper, i believe that you aren't dead as you are not forgotten. No person is dead regardless if they are forgotten or not, but i believe that Trooper Green is at peace, and he is with our Father in heaven. Rest Well Mr. Green.
