I don't know how big on a national level this is, but some you guys might have heard this. Over the past 2 years 5 police officers were gunned down basically in cold blood. 4 of them were in the last 11 months.

Also one of the officers was killed about 5 blocks from where I work. Im kinda glad I don't live down there. Im not trying to make fun a philly. There is plenty of nice areas and plenty of things to do, but 4 fallen cops seems to be excessive in the past 11 months.
