I have observed the “gave their lives” funerals for local cops for some time now.

The majority of cop deaths arise from bravado. They foolishly charge a house and get shot or they fail to make a curve at very high speed. In either case they get a funeral with cops from all over in attendance and a long motorcade to the grave site

Yeah, kinda like guys in the military who give up their lives in service of others.
A simple “Thank You” will do.

“They foolishly charge a house and get shot “

So the adage that real men run towards the gunfire instead of away doesn’t apply? Does that include our military. Not saying that all police are good but I challenge Joe Citizen to run toward the gunfire.

Yeah bert the unbiased keen observer thinks most cops who "gave their lives" (nice sneer quotes) were swaggering, blustering, boasting, bragging, acting bombastic and macho when they were killed.

Unbelievable.
