There were 4 police officers shot in the line of duty last Saturday in Oakland, California, by a suspect resisting arrest and the memorial services were today.

"Oakland remembers 4 fallen officers"
By JASON DEAREN and LISA LEFF, Associated Press Writers
Friday, March 27, 2009

(03-27) 12:05 PDT Oakland, Calif. (AP) --

"Thousands of mourners gathered with the families of four police officers gunned down after a traffic stop and ensuing firefight for a joint funeral Friday that drew law enforcement from around the country and world.

Officers Mark Dunakin, John Hege, Ervin Romans and Daniel Sakai were remembered for their dedication to their families, friends and a gritty job they loved despite the crummy hours and dangers.

The four were killed by a 26-year-old parolee, who also died in the gunfight Saturday, authorities say.

The officers' caskets were draped in American flags and shepherded to the arena in caravans that passed under a giant U.S. flag held up by two fire truck ladders as they entered the parking lot.

Pallbearers accompanied the caskets inside the venue while bagpipes sounded throughout the space at the beginning of a solemn ceremony packed with law officers from near and far. Mourners also filled the nearby Oakland Coliseum to watch the televised service."

There was also a march by people honoring the killer of those four officers. Talk about an alternate point of view...

Seems he was just resisting the police occupation.

Oakland is a rough and tough city. The dead body pile is getting way too high too quick this year.

Oh nice, canonizing a cop killer.
I'd like to read in the News; "The killer of the Officers had 465 bullet holes in him."

This guy was described by his sister as not a monster. Maybe for her he wasn't. I am hearing his dna matched a girl who was raped. she is 12 years old and he not only is suspected in more rapes he goes and shoots down some officers. What a guy!

I don't know whether to say it's disgusting or amazing.
