An accident is an accident so such tragedy should not be taken advantage of politically.
Just offer your condolences there is no political mileage.

The death of a good person should always bring sadness and consideration for those who suffer. For those who can't help but to inject politics into even the most mundane, albeit painful, incident, please be aware that conservative commentators blasted Time/CNN for its headline -- "Bush Motorcade Kills Cop" -- when reporting on a similar accident last year.

Cancelling the rally was the appropriate thing to do and, I believe, won Hillary some deserved points.

Kelly, You disappoint me. I always thought you were an admirable person and an intelligent poster. This police officer is someone's son and perhaps someone's husband and someone's father. BTW, how do you know he isn't an Obama supporter? Would that make his death a tragedy after all?

Hi, grisgris.

You're right, kellygrrrl's a good poster. Sometimes things come out other than meant, too early, or you wish you could 'delete post'. I'd call mis-spoke.

It is always a heartbreaker when police officers are killed in the line of duty. My symapthies to his family and to the people who are so sadly effected by his loss.

Shame. Another American dying to protect our freedoms, may he rest in peace. Thank-you.

Hillary arrived at her rally and thanked her supporters. She then stated that a rally would be inappropriate and canceled the event. She then left for the hospital to meet with the family of the officer.

Good for Hillary Clinton. Some things are more important than campaigning.

Thanks for mentioning the last part although the Obama supporters will think it was a political stunt on Hillary's part.

It is too bad that all of the officers died while working the various motorcades of politicos--but I guess that is part of their job as well.

Not that they will see this post---my condolences go out to the family of this Dallas PD officer.

Has anyone seen a link to where we could send donations to his family?
