Yet another cop ambushed and killed.

Deputy Sheriff William Mast, Jr., Watauga County Sheriff's Office, North Carolina

Yet another brave officer killed. It is sickening how little public support the police get from our politicians and most citizens, and the numbers of dead cops on-duty over the last decade is shocking.

Of course, few will give a **** about this.

Thank you to all the police out their RISKING YOUR LIVES TO PROTECT US EVERY SINGLE DAY YOU WALK OUT THE FRONT DOOR.

As unfortunate as it is, how does this belong in politics?

Sadly, you're right. Police work rarely gets much attention in politics, but it SHOULD. They enforce the laws. Without that, politics are just grown babies crying.

The lack of support for cops in politics makes me sick. The politicians will go out of their way to show their worship of the military (rightfully so) but rarely if ever even hint at support for the other guys who risk life to "protect us".

It may not be the norm, but it should belong here.
