Few things are sadder -- but at the same time more impressive than the funeral for a law enforcement officer or firefighter killed in the line of duty.
The long lines of men and women in the uniforms of different jurisdictions, miles long processions of emergency vehicles with flashing lights, flags on coffins, honor guards with white gloves, black mourning tape over shields -- and the raw emotions among the families and brother and sister officers.
I've seen too damn many of these things in my career.
It would be nice to never see another. But I know that won't happen.
