   So I expect that the next time (and every time) that a firefighter or   
   cop dies (in a car accident when they're off duty, dies from cancer, a   
   heart attack, falling off the roof while cleaning the gutter) then we   
   can expect several days of news coverage of their death and funeral, and   
   we can expect thousands of other firefighters and cops will come from   
   thousands of miles away to attend their funeral.   
      
   After all, it doesn't matter how they died or what they were doing now   
   does it?
