A few days ago in Lexington KY a police officer was struck down and killed by a hit and run driver. I just learned about this yesterday from a friend of mine being I don't watch the news on TV anymore (my therapists advice...). While walking to Arby's I just saw what is obviously the funeral procession for this officer. It was awesome. Every blue and white in town...lights on...sirens...the whole deal. 25-30 of em'. Motorcylcles too. It was amazing. I stopped and watched as it passed by me. Almost forgot about what I was doing. It was incredible.

not crazy about cops ..all life is sacred

every day they put their lives on the line...

We had a cop friend who quit the force because he apprehended a guy who put a gun to his head and clicked the gun.
Later he found out there was a bullet in the chamber meant for him and there was no practical reason why the gun did not fire the shot.

Very sad when anyone is killed.

The Brothers in Blue put their lives on the line every day!!

I love them!! It's sad when one is killed in the line of duty--- no matter how it happens!!

And I was arrested once!!!! Yep!!!

A police officer is not the only one who puts his life on the line each day, so does his or her family. If something happens to that officer, his/her family is forever changed too. When on officer is killed I think that it is great that all police come out to honor him/her because they are also showing their respect to the family for what they have sacrificed.
