If you’re going to yell at the casual poster here, hopefully you’re emailing wkbw and holding them accountable as well. [http://www.wkbw.com/news/local/9709442.html](http://www.wkbw.com/news/local/9709442.html) > Buffalo Police Officer David Garcia was injured in a hit and run accident while responding to a call on South Park Avenue in Buffalo on June 30th. He was on duty at the time. **He died 28 days later in a funeral without full police death benefits.** His partner told 7 News that he believes his partner died in the line of duty, **but that his in dispute**. Buffalo Police tell 7 News they are looking into what happened. I guess it’s convenient to die in a funeral. At least they don’t have far to move you. ---

I’m pretty sure you missed one, straight out of the SAT’s or GMAT’s or something: > His partner told 7 News that he believes his partner died in the line of duty, While that’s a bit of a shitfuck, I’m pretty sure that you can’t use the same pronoun (he/his) for 2 different people in the same sentence. What that’s saying is: > Garcia’s partner told 7 News that Garcia believes Garcia’s partner died in the line of duty, ---

^ Good point. I think my brain just has a failsafe. After so many grammar mistakes or 9/11 conspiracy posts it just auto-ignores. ---

Wait a minute, WTF? Was he working a funeral(traffic, etc) when he died? What is in dispute? That whole article is f’ed up! ---

I think it’s saying he died 28 days later, and had a funeral without full police benefits. They’re disputing whether or not he died in the line of duty. I think they let an engineer write the article. ---
