Recently a cop died in my city. The news was like "officer died on duty while responding to a robbery".

Turns out the fat ass died of a heart attack in his cruiser while parked outside.

Now the city police is painting him as a fallen hero who deserves a state funeral paid by us. Meanwhile I lost 5 of my coworkers during COVID, working at a hospital. Nobody lowered a flag or gave them so much as a mention in the newspaper

Molly Conger a.k.a. Socialistdogmom once did a deep dive on a report their city police made to show "deaths in the line of duty" and at least one was someone who died on vacation of a long term medical issue. Another ridiculously common one was classifying cops who died in car accidents they caused while not even pursuing anyone as in the line of duty.

The one that got shot by his pal because they forgot they didn't used training ammo was pretty hilarious, but the best part was that he shot him IN THE BACK, i see they were really training what they usually do to real people.
