125. agree, nc justice. 27 cops died in line of duty in 2013. 27! In the entire country. By contrast

333 civilians were killed in New York City alone in 2013!
333 in one city.

Why make these particular murder victims out to be heroes just because they were cops? They're not.
What did they do to be heroes?
They were doing their job. Which they get paid to do.

They weren't saving lives, chasing down a killer, they were sitting in a police car.

Window washers die, secretaries die, mothers die, students die--

what is the fetish about cops getting killed?

I'd expect to see this on the rw forum I frequent so i know how the others think, but not here. get a grip....
