    It's of course sad when anyone loses their life, police, firemen, soldiers, etc.

    Around here there is more outrage though when a police officer kills a suspect, esp if that suspect is a minority.

    I just checked a site on the Internet and last year in Texas there were 2 officers killed by guns. 1 officer was killed in Massachucets by a gun.

    Nationwide there were 59 officers killed by gun in 2010.

    Aproximately one person dies every 13 min. in an automibile crash. That's over 40,000 per year. When will they outlaw cars?

    ....and thousands of those involve the willful consumption of alcohol. When will they outlaw alcohol?
