Honor guards from around the nation stood at attention for over an hour and a half in the below 20degree weather, respectfully waiting for the fallen officers families to arrive and enter the facility. Cops without thermals from California, Florida, and all over the nation.
The memorial was incredible. The most moving part for me is near the end when dispatch calls out for each officer, with no answer. Tearjerker.

However in these times I question the expense. I can easily guess conservatively it will be in excess of a million. They had one for some fallen firefighters that was over 100 vehicles it was reported as costing over $100,000. That's a lot of public safety money.

wow that's quite an accomplishment,you spent a few days in the woods and killed an elk with a muzzle loader.Oh in a tent to.All the old schoolers I know have respect for the dead.Much like the Indians did.You would get the same response from the old real mountain men also, as you are here.what breed of horse did you ride from seattle to the rain forest..Perhaps you could make a bow from scratch and kill an antelope.You've done nothing more in my mind then to disgrace those whom you wish you could be like..I can see your time on here is going to be short lived!
Prob'ly so. I'm so old school that few of you could relate. Constitution, and all of that. Pity that, but so be it. This *censored*ry has become what you new-fangled pot-smoking troglodytes've made it. I do like to hunt, though, but I suppose that's irrelevant compared to all else? This'll be proof of that, I reckon?
Have any of you ever camped in the snow in a tipi in the rain forest and climbed the hills for days and finally killed an elk with a flintlock?
Prob'ly not. I'm sure that's reason alone to ban me.

Us ‘new-fangled pot-smoking troglodytes?’
I think you’d be hard-pressed to find a drug abuser on these boards. If you want to come here and talk about you living in a tipi tent in some rainforest and climbing hills for days and days and finally killing an elk with a flintlock (which, by the way, many of us here have done), then go right ahead.
But with your disrespectful attitude towards the officers who were senselessly slain while on duty, you may want to find another place to spread your bull*hit.
So I pose a question to you much like you have us. Have you ever picked up a rifle and defended this country against the enemies who would have sawed off your head without a second thought about it? Or have you ever strapped on a pistol and a badge and gone to work, not knowing if you’re going to come home that night or not?
Probably not. And that in itself is no reason to ban you, but you find yourself joining a very patriotic group here, and your disrespect is not welcome here. Take it somewhere else.

You however lack class and dignity!! The four officers were slain while meeting in a coffee shop. Ruby Ridge has zero relevance in this conversation so that also shows me you are ignorant.

The hero's that this memorial was for were not only officers. They were sons and daughters, mothers and fathers and husbands and wives. Bottom line, regardless of your beliefs, show a little compassion. You never know who may be on here that was related to one of them or who was a friend or who just appreciated what they did on a daily basis. I'm quite certain that you are not capable of producing any offspring of this stature, but think for a second if you could. (If you didn't disown them for becoming fine upstanding citizens.) How do you think it would make you feel if you were one of those people?

Every officer I know who attended did NOT get paid, most departments I know of make the officers use vacation days. This may not be the case with all of them. The officers I personally know who attended where allowed to take vehicles and the gas was paid for, that's it. Personally I see no issue with departments paying wages to attend. These brave men and women do not get paid nearly enough for there service and sacrifice. My prays go to the family of the fallen officers.

Thanks for that link. But on the homepage had a picture of bikini clad baristas, so I can't keep that page open long here in the office! But I'll look more when I get off duty.
I listen to the stories that were posted on here earlier, and even though I can't generate a picture of what 20,000 police officers would look like, I did find myself getting a little choked up by the image of it. It must have been very moving.

It was a long slow day but very well worth it. As a law enforcement officer I often get disgusted and discouraged with the lack of respect that people show officers these days. It just took that one day to drive those 10 miles and see all the people that lined the streets and have them look you in the face and tell you that they love you and appreciate you, there are still plenty out there that respect and appreciate law enforcement. I can tell you it was an amazing feeling and one that I will never forget.
May these Officer's Rest in Peace and God be with there families at this time!
