Another policeman has been shot and killed, He was only 25 and just newly married (Oct 08) and his new bride is expecting. I pray for his wife and his unborn child who will now never know his dad. I think often something similar as I drive Lincoln and Kelly Drives. These roads are extremely curvy and people drive them like they are Nascar drivers (i know a few of those people). I think of what would happen if I died and my sons never saw me again and I never saw them again. I guess, at least, I got to see them. This officer will never know. That is 7 police killed in the line of duty in less than 3 years. We have only been here for 18months and we have been present for more funeral processions than I would have liked to have been. My husband wanted to be a cop. He even tried and was rejected by the Chicago PD. Thank GOD! They thought he was too honest... kicked him out because he admitted to some drug use over 20 years ago. Over 20 years ago... during his college years. Can you tell me what person has not experiemented (especially those who were born in the 60s?). It was very hypocritical. We were even told in a Lamaze class by 2 in the CPD to lie about personal history. I think it was a sign anyway. I have seen too many Law & Order episodes and think of too many conspiracies and cops setting up cops who do not follow the pack, the establishment.
Still in the end, Philadelphia is dangerous and I thought that Chicago was worse. I don't think that in the 7 years that I was there, there was 1 cop killing. Certainly, people tried but was not successful.
