Reflections for Deputy Sheriff Elijah Ming
Elijah was my nephew my baby sister oldest son. I am still not dealing with his lost. Pray for all LEO’s in this demonic world.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.
There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

Sou do Brasil e estou de passagem por Kansas. Há alguns anos perdemos um policial também pela violência covarde de alguns. Sinto muito pela perda de Ming e que Deus conforte a família, amigos e a comunidade.
Descanse em paz!

Worked with your dad as an SRO in KCKPS PD. Shadowed him for a few weeks at Wyandotte HS, back in 2018. He was so proud of you, talked about you a lot. Rest in peace sir, & may God allow you into His kingdom with open arms. I hope your dad finds peace.
