Another example of the ingrained culture government employees live in where they see taxpayers as a big pail of money to dip in to. Us peons buy life insurance in case disaster strikes. We don't rush to find a fax machine so we can file for disability and retirement benefits as we lay dying.

Hell, this has been going on for years. In 1974 we were going on duty for the 11-7 am shift, bullshitting with the guys getting off 3-11 when the troop door opened and (I saw his wife and son ) shove officer X inside where he either died or was went cold. Half his uniform was unbuttoned, off or missing. I told the appropriate people what I saw but they decided he died on duty. He made it to the door.

Fellow troopers rushed to the emergency room ... where O’Brien, 42, lay mortally injured and unconscious
How could he sign his retirement papers if he was unconscious?
He fell off his mother's roof, so why isn't the guy's wife suing her insurance company instead of fleecing the taxpayers?

The widow and those who assisted in trying to perpetrate this fraud should be charged with criminal conspiracy.

The other troopers should be fired.If that means loss of pensions,tough!

The widow should be fined a hefty amount .

All parties involved ruled ineligble for any future government employment.

He should have been doing drywall, like every other cop and firefighter.
