Which to say first- all the stories are first. As can be set here as quickly as possible:

·       New York

§  That emergency responders have been assaulted during a response to an emergency (details of event refer NY1.com), can shed more illustration on the state of being of some aspects of society right through here. Why the gloom exists might have to do with a larger set of reasons that involve more than just those less fortunate.

§  It is extremely sad to see two experienced agents, in the aspect of their experience and as citizens, individuals with lives they were living, no longer.

§  In the hopes for a better future, there are memories of US Marshals that have been shot in raids in recent years, as well as experienced police officer in Philadelphia not too many months back; analyses of what went right and what went wrong of all of these and more might help in prevention of these kinds of catastrophes.
