I agree with what’s in bold.

However, how fast this particular cop was driving is probably in direct correlation to why he died. I think that is grounds for discussion. If I died in a way such as this, wouldn’t people make a thread about it? Or how about you? I think everyone would still discuss. Many people who discussed DID pay their respects, including me. I do feel bad for this cops family and his troop. I wish them the strength and courage to go on without a co-worker, father, brother, husband, and son.
