Buddy,
Your valor and sacrifice on June 21st undoubtedly saved several lives and will in all probability save more in the future through both much needed policy changes and agent awareness. It was a pleasure knowing and working with you. You will be sorely missed, but never forgotten.

We are saddened once again with the sad news of another hero taken from us. It is a great loss for the family and department during this crisis. We might not know the right words to say, or even know how to say them, but we can pray for your family and friends. May the Lord give them strength through this time.

You don't know how hurtful it is to see that a Correctional Officer be the one to take a fellow Brother. I hope you know that over 99% of Correctional Officers are actually decent Professionals in Law Enforcement, and unfortunatly, we had to lose you to find one of the less then 1% who had gone to the dark side. May you find peace with god, and watch over us.

My father is a CO in Texas, so I understand first hand what those men would have faced when sent to prison and Im sure they do too. How cowardly of him to take the life of another officer who was trying to do his job on the right side of the law. S.A. Sentner, I thank you for keeping justice on the side of those who deserve it. Im sorry it cost you and your family so dearly.
To the family, friends, and officers that knew S.A. Sentner, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you face the trying times ahead of you. Please know your not alone.
Then the rainstorm came, over me
And I felt my spirit break
I had lost all of my, belief you see
And realized my mistake
But time through a prayer, to me
And all around me became still
I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name
Through the rainstorm came sanctuary
And I felt my spirit fly
I had found all of my reality
I realize what it takes
'Cause I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name
Oh I, don't bet (don't bend), don't break (don't break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won't forsake
'Cause love can help me know my name
Well I try to say there's nothing wrong
But inside I felt me lying all along
But the message here was plain to see
Believe me
'Cause I need love, love's divine
Please forgive me now I see that I've been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name
Oh I, don't bet (don't bend), don't break (don't break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won't forsake
'Cause love can help me know my name
Love can help me know my name

Buddy, although we are part of the same agency, I only met you by chance two weeks ago at training in Washington DC. However, your reputation for professionalism preceeded you and I was honored to have made your acquaintance. Indeed, you made a lasting impression--May God Bless you and your family always. Brother, your ultimate sacrifice is not in in vain...it should serve as the most profound of realizations for those respective officials to finally implement procedural guidelines and prevent similiar tragedies in the future. Rest in Peace my friend!
