Dirty sermon it's not polite to lambast the deceased.

...and how many of these were the result of not wearing a seat belt?

The number is disproportionate to the number of citizens killed by police (which saw a huge rise this year).

Who were they? I would think in order for the public to see these officers as public servants, dedicated lawmen and fellow human beings it would help to put a face and name to each one and paste it on the front page of every news report and story, they deserve recognition from the public they died serving as well as from their peers.
