Makes no Sense

Well, I believe it has become national news but for those of you that havent, heard I’ll update ya on the “cop killer” story that has saturated the Local Denver News sources. In a nut shell, some cop, was working off duty as security for some private party in the area. Something went down and he was shot and killed. The news has made it out that the cop was not involved in any sort of skirmish, the Killer just shot him. Now I know the story may have changed but, he was killed off duty getting paid to be security. Oh and he was in uniform. Anyway, Today there is a downright HUGE memorial Service set up for this guy, Hundreds of cops have been set up around the city closing streets and parking areas. They have Put up a Jumbo Tron out side the church for the masses that will not fit inside. My question is, Who is paying for all this. I can almost guarentee it’s our tax dollars, and that doesnt make sense to me. I would have probably looked at this differently if he was on duty. I can guarentee that if the individual that was shot, was a regular joe hired by a security company, we would have not seen any of this. This doesnt make sense, Am I in the wrong thinking this?
