Funeral procession for Rapid City, SD Police Officer Nick Armstrong. Shot in the Line of Duty on August 2, 2011. Died August 6, 2011. Funeral August 11, 2011. Rest in peace HERO.
I'm sure this was a sad time. But the video goes to show that all emergency personnel (regardless of branch) are all family and support another. Truly an emotional video to watch, as each of those vehicles' drivers lost a friend. So sorry for your loss and God Bless. Thanks for posting!
i served in the Marine Corps where there are different colors of Americans get over it the Officer was doing his job, I am a full blood lakota sioux but I respect the officers of this great country! respect to Armstrong and Mc Candless God speed!
@psychocentric I agree that race should not be an issue anymore. But that is what makes America go round these days. Someone responded that when they were growing up 'their' they never saw white people standing around on corners drinking, really? From a different point of view, white people seem to get away with everything. It may not be fact, but it's out there.
This wasn't about race, it was about officers responding to a valid call. Someone called in drunk people, the officers responded like they would no matter the race. Race shouldn't be an issue anymore. I am a "white" person, but only when someone needs to identify me. I am a human. Racism flows in both directions. If you call me a white racist, then you are just calling yourself a racist as well. Only when we can stop putting people in categories can we be as tolerant as we should be.

@danthehitman741 Well, I've seen plenty of white people hanging around and drinking on many corners.
