The loss of all innocent life is tragic. But those who lose their lives by purposely putting themselves in harm’s way to effect the protection of other innocents imitate Christ with their selflessness. They deserve special honor. Just as those who serve in the military deserve special honor.
When three people die in an incident, you don’t pick one out to call them particularly tragic.
All loss of life is tragic. And tryin got bring the military into a situation that has nothing whatsoever to do with the military is shameful.
That officer’s life was tragic, but no more tragic that the loss of the other two.
None of those lives was worth more or less than the others.
You didn’t know that?
In all fairness, Ted didn’t either.
