The memorial for a fallen cop is being held today, in my town. Main roads are closed, and flags are at half mast.
The issue is, being state employees working a block from the capitol, we had no clue about who the heck he was! Nobody understood why streets were closed this morning, traffic was delayed, and there was such a fuzz.
The state website posted a note explaining that two cops died of motor injuries (actually, one was hit by a judge!). http://www.ct.gov/mil/cwp/view.asp?a=1345&Q=314654
No heroic feats, no final battle against a felon. Just two dead cops killed in traffic accidents.
Obviously, this is costing the tax payers. Should these manifestations be reserved for well known people? Should any ordinary citizen qualify too? Should a ceremonial day like this be equally available to any other citizen, at cost only to tax payers?
And no, I have never been arrested or am a convicted felon because I am not expressing support. So, keep it rational.
