I'm sure you mean no disrespect to dead soldiers and police officers.
Why was this needed? Why are you excluding dead firefighters and dog catchers? I'm sure you meant no disrespect...
Those people are included in the half-staff tradition hal, should they be killed in the line of duty. They are public servants.
You seem to think this tradition has no value. "Screw the rules" you say. I disagree. I think it shows great respect and is a proud tradition of honor.
