I didn't notice the black stripe, so I checked Google for recent officer deaths in Philadelphia.

Another fallen Phila. officer laid to rest

Another fallen Philadelphia police officer was laid to rest yesterday, surrounded by thousands of mourners numbed by a frigid winter wind and a sense of disbelief.

Officer John Pawlowski, 25, the fifth officer killed in the line of duty in less than a year, was buried at Resurrection Cemetery in Bensalem after a Funeral Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of SS. Peter and Paul.

And both so young. Pawlowski was 25 when he was killed, and DeCoatsworth was only 23 when he was shot.
