I don’t understand why they do this. I had a minor fender bender last year in Hartford during a cop funeral at Xfinity and it took them 4.5 hours to respond. And yes the police had to come because the other Asshole who hit me was in a company truck and needed it documented

Because they value police lives over everyone else and don’t care.

Can you imagine if all the truckers organized a mass funeral work stoppage every time a truck driver got killed on the job? Happens every day, unfortunately, and is a risk of the job and often not the truck driver's fault.

Imagine if every single gas station attendant in the state showed up for a funeral procession every time a gas station attendant got killed somehow...

I said that to my husband this morning. I said if anyone has any criminal plans now is a perfect day to do it.

My district actually had several bomb threats called in to our elementary and high schools a few years ago, they were made by a guy who ended up trying to rob one of the local banks and his bomb calls were to gauge police response/see if it would be enough of a distraction to allow him to get away with it…spoiler alert: it was not.

You could be right.. but Let's also talk about the dumb fucks using school shootings to make a point during a funeral.

Not going to lie, as a Bristol resident I don't want to leave the house today - pretty sure the city's being covered by mutual aid and state troopers so the entire PD can be at the funeral. I'm not in the mood to get in a car accident or have a run-in with a crazy person when police coverage is spotty at best.

SO like a shooter must be PARTICULARLY happy if one of the victims happens to be a cop on duty, because then it's guaranteed to free up a ton of streets and establishments while the funeral procession is being done, thereby giving other shooters MORE freedom to shoot more cops.
