With all due respect. Why are you on a cop death watch?

I feel that every officer deserves their own thread, at the very least, rather than be a large thread. I feel that it is one of the smallest things that can be done in honor of the service they gave their communities.

Then we need to start one for all our soldiers killed in action. I feel they are also in harms way and deserving of even more recognition as they go directly into combat.

I'm really not sure why you feel the need to be disrespectful. This is a general discussion portion of the forum and the mods let you post pretty much whatever you want. I am also a military veteran of 7 years and have personally buried men that I personally knew while I was stationed at Arlington National Cemetery. However, I am pretty passionate about police line of duty deaths. If that bothers you start a general discussion thread about it but please have a little respect. At no time was a disrespecting our military, of which I am also quite attached, by posting about police LODD.

Still no combined thread or sticky.

Eh, that's okay. While I did suggest that, it feels better that each officer gets their own thread, instead of just being another addendum in a larger thread. I make sure to click on each one anyway. When I was searching for his explanation thread and all his pages and pages of threads he's started were listed in one place, it was pretty dramatic. He's been posting these since February and there must be over 50. It's pretty sad.

R.I.P. fallen officers.

I feel the threads get diluted and lost in the mix.
