I have never equated a police type who died as being something related to "in the line of duty." These people applied for a job and are getting compensated for it. Does the same thinking apply to a sewer worker who dies from a cave-in or gas inhalation? And, let us not forget the cab driver who was robbed and shot to death. Why not a flag for the different occupations each hour of the day?

Give me a break from all these job holders who believe themselves to be something other than what they are--paid workers.
