    Police Funeral

    I went to the funeral for Officer Feltis with the Pentagon Force Protection Agency a few months ago. I've been procrastinating but here are some pics I took of the funeral procession. It was amazing, 10 miles long with a great escort with easily more than a hundred motors.

    Wow. 10 Miles long. That's amazing. I like the citizen picture alot too, it shows that some people actually do have hearts for law enforcement.

    Hell of a nice job valor.
    A message for our criminals from God:

    http://www.horizonsnet.org/sermons/rom41.html
    http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...20&version=49;

    13:1 Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.

    13:2 Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.

    The funeral line was long,
    There's an awful lot of cars,
    Folks came out of the restaurants,
    They came out of the bars.

    The workers at the construction sites
    All let their hammers drop.
    Someone asked. "What is this all for?"
    And they said, "Aw, just a cop."

    Some chuckled at the passing cars.
    Some shed a silent tear
    Some people said, "It's stupid.
    all these dumb policemen here."

    "How come they're not out fightn' crime?
    Or in a doughnut shop?
    Sure is a lot of trouble,
    For someone who's just a cop.

    They blocked the intersections,
    They blocked the interstate.
    People yelled and cursed,
    "Damn, it's gonna make me late!"

    "This is really ridiculous!"
    "They're makin' us all stop!"
    "It seems they're sure wastin' time,
    On someone who's just a cop."

    Into the cemetery now,
    The slow procession comes,
    The woeful Taps are slowly played.
    There's loud salutes from guns.

    The graveyard workers shake their heads
    "This service is a flop."
    "There's lots of good words wasted,
    On someone who's just a cop."

    Yeah, just a cop to most folks.
    Did his duty every day.
    Tryin' to protect us,
    Till they took his life away.

    And when he got to heaven,
    St. Peter put him at the top.
    An angel asked him, "Who was that?"
    And he said, "Aw, just a cop."

    They've got us surrounded? Good. Now we can fire in any direction, those bastards wont get away this time

    I should add we were southbound I-95 just south of DC. Probably the most heavily travelled road in the region and it was completely shut down for us. You can see northbound was gridlocked rubber necking us too.

    It reminds me of a picture of a whole line of citizens actually crying, and saluting after Sgt. Dale Green's death. Made me think, "Wow, I guess people do really care"

    Good Job Valor, and great pics.

    "Wow, I guess people do really care"
    One big thing to remember is that most people do. Some places it may be more the other way, but most people do care about us. Unfortunately those aren't the ones we see most of the time so it rarely seems that way.
