I just have a question, we have other officers that have died while on the job but it was not on the news like this, I don’t have a problem with the coverage but other officers have died on the job and did not get the recognition and I think they all deserve it. Just was wondering why this one got so much attention and the others didn’t.
I was impressed by the enormous recognition and funeral. Why haven’t other fallen officers received the same attention? Did I miss something? Other officers have died in the Line of duty but I have never seen any come close to the media attention?
