We need to honor the fallen from other more dangerous professions such as waste workers, fisherman, loggers, etc.
Their sacrifice while enduring hardships is just as important as these charlatans and their media stunt to honor a bad driver.
Policing is not the most dangerous job out there. Actually far from it. Does not even crack the top ten.
Their position of false prominence/importance is getting old.

Policing is the most dangerous job in the world involing the business of people. Fisherman arent assaulted, they fall off boats. Constructions workers arent murdered, they fall of building or get run over by equipment etc etc etc. Thank you all officers for the job you do, its just as important as any other.

Assaulted? Teachers are assaulted more than cops.
Look it up, your argument is contrived from years of conditioning from "praise us" propaganda.
The force is suffering from a serious lack of quality education.
Some of these guys are complete nit wits.
Fortunately their are a few role models left.
