    • nibster, on 02/22/2008, -74/+11I feel for his family, but not for the cop. This cop would probably be the same cop to arrest you for having a joint on you. With all the tasers, police brutality/corruption, and marijuana arrests going on in this police state, it's very hard for me to feel sorry for any cop that dies.
      • comocomo, on 02/22/2008, -10/+34this isn't a ***** police state. stop smoking weed.
        • mightydavefish, on 02/25/2008, -0/+1If it's not a police state why tell him to stop doing something that harms only him?
          But yeah, he is a pretty serious moron.
      • revjustin2, on 02/22/2008, -3/+45That is one of the more cold-hearted things I have read in a while. No one deserves this kind of thing, you evil asshat.
      • KennMac, on 02/22/2008, -5/+31What the ***** is wrong with you? While there is injustice among select officers in every city, you have absolutely no right to wish death upon any or all police officers. You are one giant *****.
        • richbleak, on 02/22/2008, -8/+9Actually, he has the right to wish anything he pleases. Unless, of course, you agree with him that we live in a police state.
        • piouspeter, on 02/22/2008, -9/+0People that most of us idolize said this sort of stuff in the seventies about soldiers over there in Vietnam, so maybe its more than just some douchefag lighting up.
      • Robthefrog, on 02/22/2008, -11/+13Actually this is the kind of cop who wore a new uniform for today so that he would look very presentable and show respect for his escort. He was a cop who was proud to be part of an escort with such important figures in our nation's history.
        I don't know where you get off on thinking your weed is more safe now that there's one more cop not out on the street. I hope that your family gets murdered by your drug dealer, and this is the only cop that could have done anything about it. Would serve you right you stupid ***** pothead. Grow up.
        • Swivelstick, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2At the time of reading you're +4 otherwise I wouldn't have thought about commenting but you suggest that because some ***** makes a retarded comment, you hope his family dies. Who's the bigger ***** in this contest?
        • sovietninja, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2The one with the police baton sticking out of it!
      • SidiousX, on 02/22/2008, -13/+6yeah if you weren't a damned pothead loser, maybe you would like cops
      • Lone1, on 02/22/2008, -3/+19there are good cops and bad cops because cops are people. All I know about this cop is he died in the line of duty and I'm betting thats all you know too. All I know about you is you said a very stupid thing.
      • chrisgnv, on 02/22/2008, -3/+10*****, you really had to go and make marijuana look bad there didn't you.
      • skinjester, on 02/22/2008, -2/+5vulgar & childish comment. grow up much?
      • bthug7, on 02/22/2008, -3/+6Damnit I accidently dugg you. Well let me get into a story, this one time I heard these two postmen raped a woman and then killed her. So guess what, Now I shoot every postman that comes by without remorse, it's justified right? Your a tool box
        • deliciousapes, on 02/22/2008, -2/+5Well said man

          OP, why drag marijuana into it? Completely irrelevant, we are talking about the loss of a human life. ***** off with your generalizations.
        • gn0stik, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2tool shed, full of tool boxes, which are each, in turn, full of tools.
      • bitspace, on 02/23/2008, -0/+3Not all potheads are like this piece of *****. In fact, most aren't. I'm willing to bet that this is some punk kid from the suburbs who's never been out of his mother's basement and has had everything handed to him on a silver platter, just talking tough because he thinks it's the trendy thing to do.
      • Meowbiusfox, on 02/23/2008, -1/+2Cops are human beings,not robots.

        • chrispix, on 02/22/2008, -2/+6When I replied, the officers name had not been released. Clinton had not made any comment. I can't help that they updated the story, immagine that, updated news on a website!

      • chrispix, on 02/22/2008, -1/+5When I replied, the officers name had not been released. Clinton had not made any comment. I can't help that they updated the story, immagine that, updated news on a website!
    • chrispix, on 02/22/2008, -4/+7The website was updated at Feb 22, 2008 12:37 pm US/Eastern I made my post around noon eastern. (11am CST). I did not have the information that Clinton had offered condolences at that time when I post. Now that she has, I am glad she said something.

      • DuffyDirect, on 02/22/2008, -18/+36seriously, it's pathetic
      • darkened, on 02/22/2008, -71/+13He couldn't cheapen it any more than already by being a pig in the first place.

    • joshblufs, on 02/22/2008, -16/+54real classy...
    • romistrub, on 02/22/2008, -19/+33Agreed with Hipnerd. I can't believe you got dugg up to +11 for that.
    • Kautylia, on 02/22/2008, -26/+62***** you.
    • chall2001, on 02/22/2008, -37/+12The Obama mob never disappoints.
      Has Hillary been blamed for the policeman's death yet?
      • rokinroj, on 02/22/2008, -4/+11The Obama mob? Where did you get the notion this is an Obama supporter? Oh wait, your just talking out of your ass trying to promote YOUR political agenda. Might want to check his profile there Sherlock.
        • PhantomRogue, on 02/22/2008, -5/+6I think the fact that every comment saying wow, or feel bad for him... has negative diggs and the first comment with 50+ diggs (as i write this) is a dig against Clinton. That pretty much speaks for itself.
          • Patrikimo, on 02/23/2008, -1/+3Ummm that just means that lots of people dislike her and have bad taste, it does not mean that the diggers are Obama-philes (or RPers or McCain-ers). In fact, I and several of my Obama friends dug up hipnerd who told the OP to get a life.
          • hipnerd, on 02/23/2008, -2/+2For the record, I'm an Obama supporter. I don't think that supporting a candidate means you need to be petty or cruel towards his opponents.
    • OMGIAMTHEMAN, on 02/22/2008, -13/+72his cause was keeping order in America for all Americans, not just the ones you agree with. More noble than the causes most of us will likely die for.
      • Myonosken, on 02/22/2008, -8/+2Oh wow, he got dugg down? What the ***** is up with digg today?
      • siszam, on 02/22/2008, -10/+6Yeah right. Tell that to all the cops who violate our rights, shoot people in the back, beat people up and do all the various illegal things they do while hiding behind a badge and taking our tax dollars. A cop died. That doesn't make him a saint. He is either a bad guy or someone who covers for the bad guys.
        • qusers, on 02/23/2008, -2/+3Give me a break siszam. All cops are dirty everywhere huh? Next time someone breaks into your house or assaults your friend, don't come crying....
    • dboy3587, on 02/22/2008, -12/+23you wouldn't be saying that if you knew him *****...classless comment
    • exomni, on 02/22/2008, -5/+21Keeping the peace, maintaining order, serving and protecting the people?

      An honorable life to lead.
      • SpeshulEd, on 02/22/2008, -4/+6Pssh. It's just as unfair to say that all cops serve and protect as it is to say that they all harass and oppress.
        • bitspace, on 02/23/2008, -1/+1Except that the ones that harass and oppress are in the minority; the ones that serve and protect, or at a bare minimum do their jobs, are by far the vast majority.
          • tightscrummy, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1Let me guess, "a few bad apples".
    • steeeeve, on 02/22/2008, -7/+44He died for protecting another human
      He died protecting democracy by protecting a potential candidate.
      If you don't get it: He was there, so that YOU can go, vote and choose a future president instead of some thug with a gun making that choice for you.
      • appleseed1234, on 02/22/2008, -9/+3Who said there WASN'T a thug with a gun making choices for us?
    • rheaume, on 02/22/2008, -6/+2Democracy.. yeah you're right, not worth fighting for
    • Pg5of16, on 02/22/2008, -2/+3Normally I'm okay with Diggs rabid Obama support. But seriously? Insulting a man who has just died? I'm sure Obama doesn't want the support of idiots like yourself.
      • Patrikimo, on 02/23/2008, -1/+2Hold on a moment!! He's an RP supporter not an Obama supporter. She's hated by everyone not just Obama people. In fact, as an Obama supporter I think that making political attacks against Hillary here is in absolute bad taste.
    • sup4141, on 02/22/2008, -3/+3buried you douche
    • stonewaljacksn, on 02/23/2008, -8/+6The fact that that comment is dugg up way over 100 is embarrassing. Heartless diggers. When did Obama supporters become such effing douchebags.
      • bitspace, on 02/23/2008, -1/+3Clinton hater doesn't mean Obama supporter. Read the dude's profile.
    • stillasleep00, on 02/23/2008, -0/+5He was probably just called on assignment, you don't get to pick and choose what you're going to do each day in police work.
    • Jenadae, on 02/23/2008, -2/+2God you people need to pull the sticks out of your asses.
    • dsiv, on 02/23/2008, -1/+4Whatever you happen to think of cops (and I agree they've as a group done plenty to tarnish their own name), this one died in the process of keeping the order and allowing the political process (which is imperfect, but still better than it is in most places) to move forth. That's a plenty noble reason to die.
    • d3mag0gu3, on 02/23/2008, -5/+1Obamabots FTW!!!

    • dreicher, on 02/22/2008, -15/+33I see what you did there.
    • daEvan, on 02/22/2008, -44/+60it's too bad Hillary wasn't on the motorcycle...
      • JanYpe, on 02/22/2008, -22/+7This is at +19? I hate all you idiots. Get a grip on reality, no wonder you mushy brained ***** all gathered behind Ron Paul.
        • JasonsLan, on 02/22/2008, -2/+2JanYpe, is that not the screen name for Hillary?
        • byrdgang, on 02/23/2008, -2/+4What makes you think we're Ron Paul supporters and not Obama supporters? :)
      • stonewaljacksn, on 02/23/2008, -5/+5JanYpe is dead on. You people really suck and know absolutely nothing about politics. ***** bandwagoners. Look at the type of ***** that you say about people when mob psychology starts taking over.
        You're all a joke.

    • oenoneablaze, on 02/22/2008, -12/+35you are terrible people for digging this up. when did politics become hatred to the point of violent wishes rather than simply policy disagreements? i'll bet barack obama would be ashamed of you all.
      • Digger1218, on 02/22/2008, -6/+19Digg is too busy fellating Barack to hear you dude.
      • Patrikimo, on 02/23/2008, -1/+3Of course he would be, except the people I see making light of this and using it to attack Hillary are not Obama supporters, but instead RP suppoters, go figure!
        • d3mag0gu3, on 02/23/2008, -2/+3WRONG. They are obamabots. Stop acting stupid. Who posted this article? An Obamabot. And who's commenting on this article. OBAMABOTS. That means you and your mindless drone friends.
      • Jenadae, on 02/23/2008, -3/+2Who said this is about politics? I hate hillary because shes a back stabbing two timing pathetic excuse for a feminist.
      • lennybird, on 02/23/2008, -2/+2No, he's just saying it's like the save the grandma or the kitten scenario - if you could only save one, who would it be? Screw Hillary, this policeman probably worked harder in one day than that lady has her whole life.

        That article pisses me off, "I have asked that my condolences be conveyed to the family." - Oh please, like you really give a goddamn *****.
    • obxjdt, on 02/23/2008, -3/+3Stop Clinton at all cost...Short of killing her. I can't wish death on someone that hasn't earned it.
    • runCMD, on 02/23/2008, -2/+1Before this - I only thought you Diggers were engaged in lively if overly negative conversation about the race to the nomination. Now the true color shows through. Take a look around you tonight. What do you have in life. What do you aspire too ? If it was all taken away from you tomorrow .. . if someone you cared for was swept away without a chance to make something right - would you be so flippant and cruel. There is an old saying - you are what you eat. Thought of another way - you are what you think. What swirls around in that heart of yours. Life owes you nothing. You will only ever get anything in life by giving of yourself to others. That's what this police officer did in the line of duty. He died in service to others. Your comments disgrace the people who love you now - and would miss you - and grieve the loss upon your death. This officer and his family deserve a little more respect than that.
  • cococooky, on 02/22/2008, -48/+12If I was Hillary, I would be taking this as a bad omen.

      • paulmike3, on 02/22/2008, -11/+9Actually, these kind of "accidents" were common when her husband ruled the land.
    • JanYpe, on 02/22/2008, -2/+8The gene pool desperately needs some chlorine.

  • hc5831, on 02/22/2008, -37/+27The sad thing is that I bet Hillary consulted with her advisers on how best to capitalize on his death. She'll say anything to get a vote.
  • DuffyDirect, on 02/22/2008, -43/+313Wow I can't believe Digg users are hijacking even a human death to push their Obama/anti-Hillary agendas. You're pathetic!
    • stonklit, on 02/22/2008, -28/+13Wow I can't believe you are hijacking Digg users pushing their Obama/anti-Hillary agendas during a human death to push your anti-(Obama/anti-Hillary) agenda via Digg users using human deaths to push their agendas. You're pathetic!

      • Digger1218, on 02/22/2008, -3/+4I care more about a cop who probably had a family and a mortgage dying than some goldbricking British royal who got killed speeding away from photogs in a limo.

          • Digger1218, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1I am. But why is that? What did Diana ever do besides try to get rid of landmines? She did such a great job btw. Only a few million or so still deployed.
          • Digger1218, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1I guess she also ***** Prince Charles... AMAZING
          • goomba323, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2I'm just saying...more people care about Princess Diana dying than any cop. I'm not saying I disagree, just stating that you are in the minority.

    • d3mag0gu3, on 02/23/2008, -2/+2My only hope will be that this shows what kind of support Obama is getting and hopefully ppl will vote against him. God I won't be on digg much longer if this goes on. Half of the front page has dumb ass Obama stories.

    • siszam, on 02/22/2008, -5/+3I don't why your comment was dug down. It's correct. She's responsible for all the dead soldiers and Iraqis just like everyone else is who supported the war.
  • turdblossom1, on 02/22/2008, -31/+11Its part of her Scortched Earth Strategy. Everything in her wake will wilt and die over the next 2 weeks in her quest for power

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEOjttmqIrc

    "What we saw in the final moments in that debate is why Hillary Clinton is the next president of the United States," spokesman Howard Wolfson said. " It was the moment she retook the reins of this race and showed women and men why she is the best choice."

    Clinton strategist Howard Wolfson thinks Hillary's blatant plagiarism of John Edwards was her finest moment? Sad indeed.
  • freeport7, on 02/22/2008, -18/+75Er ... was he "killed" or did he "die?:
    • ggpipe, on 02/22/2008, -0/+25He died when he hit a curb and lost control resulting in a crash.
    • Ganja420, on 02/22/2008, -2/+19he was killed in the crash... which resulted in death
    • falkonv7l, on 02/22/2008, -0/+5This happened to a motorcycle cop here in Albuquerque, when President Bush came to visit Intel. Just less than a year ago.

    • thinkart, on 02/22/2008, -1/+6submitter gets more attention with KILLED than died. if submitter said he just died, that would have been an accurate title and therefore would not make it to the front page. notice how diggers are starting to behave worse than media? titles to get attention that completely mislead you.

        • tundra721, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2That's because you are a 12 year old. You don't have a car and your parents own everything.
          Quit being a douchebag and grow up.
    • Monkeman, on 02/22/2008, -9/+5Digg this up for being hilarious.
    • Digger1218, on 02/22/2008, -4/+9You fail triple.
      1. 9/11 wasn't an inside job you idiot
      2. I am legend was boring and *****
      3. You were apparently 24th in line on digg for that name.
    • positron, on 02/23/2008, -4/+1If Hillary promised a cop would die evertime she used a police escort I might consider voting for her.
    • stillasleep00, on 02/23/2008, -1/+3There's trolling and then there's trolling. Sarcasm is ***** uncalled for here, show some decency.
  • cledford, on 02/22/2008, -27/+9bad luck follows her around
  • RuckusNutz, on 02/22/2008, -22/+6*starts folding tinfoil hat*
  • Ub3rg33k, on 02/22/2008, -5/+38How did it happen? The article gives no details.
    • OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, on 02/22/2008, -27/+4Hillary bewitched his penis.
    • ExSlashdotter, on 02/22/2008, -0/+42He struck a curb and wrecked. They took him to the hospital, but he didnt make it. Apparently he had been a cop for 19 years, but was new to the motorcycle.

      As a rider myself, I hate seeing this happen.
  • matthewdestroys, on 02/22/2008, -25/+4blame it on oswald.
  • vagrantwade, on 02/22/2008, -24/+6Motorcycle accidents are the new crying.
    • OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, on 02/22/2008, -13/+1She could crash the motorcycle AND cry at the funeral. 2 for the price of 1
  • ggpipe, on 02/22/2008, -7/+151You know what is really weird? I live on the same street as the officer that died and the name of the street is CLINTON DRIVE.

    I'm not kidding.
  • uiguy3, on 02/22/2008, -22/+2Perhaps, for reasons like this that many of us never thought of Hillary should drop out of the race.
  • saturnx8, on 02/22/2008, -28/+12if it was obamas guy who died you would say it was for a good cause, or one of Hillary's people did it. You retard ass hats need to get a ***** life. I wish all of you were on that motor cycle. Buried because you are all *****
    • DuffyDirect, on 02/22/2008, -2/+7I agree with you, but I dugg the article because I think they ought to be in the spotlight with their disrespect of human life
    • goomba323, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2Lighten up man, nobody really cares about this, and if you act like you're above making a joke just because it's a cop, then you are being pretentous. Death happens to everyone, I hate people who think making fun of Death is off limits. Like the tight asses who were mad at Bill Maher's costume of Steve Irwin with a Stinger through his chest. IT'S DARK COMEDY!!! I'm sure people on Digg are trying more to sound funny and get dugg (or buried depending on the taste of the joke) than trying to mourn the death of someone they never even met.
  • Ganja420, on 02/22/2008, -30/+6this is why Hillary needs to drop out of the race... how many more lives will it take for her to understand?!?!?!
  • rnawky, on 02/22/2008, -34/+14Bush at least had the courtesy to wait until he was in office before he let Americans die for him.
    • olbap, on 02/22/2008, -7/+1Horrible joke, but freaking funny none-the-less.
  • coit, on 02/22/2008, -24/+42Is it me, or has digg become violently anti-Clinton these past few weeks? I don't remember so many Clinton haters before...
    • NotAChickenHawk, on 02/22/2008, -8/+7The Ron Paul Spambots have transformed...
    • wedges, on 02/22/2008, -9/+7i'd rather be up to my elbows in Clinton-haters than Paul-supporters.
    • deliciousapes, on 02/22/2008, -4/+2YES WE WILL! YES WE WILL!
    • stonewaljacksn, on 02/23/2008, -4/+4people think it's cool now to hate on hillary. it's the stupidest thing I've ever seen. You are retarded if you absolutely HATE someone who at least Generally identifies with the same democratic party principles as your second coming of Christ Barack Obama. Dont give me your rants about how different they are. They are still democrats and as an BHO supporter I'd still vote Hillary any day against McCain. Digg is like Lord of Flies with this blind sheep mass hatred *****.
      • Jenadae, on 02/23/2008, -2/+2Principles she belives in have nothing to do with the actions she makes.
        • d3mag0gu3, on 02/23/2008, -1/+2The SAME ***** POINT applies to Obama you dumb piece of *****. WAKE UP!
        • Jenadae, on 02/23/2008, -2/+1Holy crap read this guys comments, hes made over 30 angry posts in the last 3 hours. I feel bad for his keyboard :(
  • Magus416, on 02/22/2008, -13/+120What the hell people? This officer died in the service of protecting someone from possible harm. Have some respect for the dead.
    • OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, on 02/22/2008, -17/+1He was protecting hillary clintont from harm. BIG difference.
      • JanYpe, on 02/22/2008, -1/+11No, not really *****.
      • NotAChickenHawk, on 02/22/2008, -1/+5What an idiotic comment. What, now candidates who you don't like are not entitled to protection? Next step is none of them get protection - that'll make the whole election process go real smooth, huh?
    • BigBallistix, on 02/22/2008, -12/+5Ah yes, because simply doing your job automatically puts a golden halo around your head. You didn't know him, I didn't know him; so I don't see why we should respect him. It devalues the term.
      • NotAChickenHawk, on 02/22/2008, -2/+4So you'd piss on his grave because you didn't personally know him? How about respecting him because he just died, period? And if that's too much for you, how about considering the fact that he was a police officer in good standing, and respecting him for that?
        • goomba323, on 02/23/2008, -1/+2Umm...I'm not a cynical bastard or even a remorseless *****, but I have to agree with BigBallistix. We all acknowledge it's a horrible tragedy, but it's totally fine to make a non-offensive joke about it. What makes him being a police officer matter? Now Heath Ledger, that was a tragedy, but I don't geoffended if someone makes a Joker joke or a Brokeback joke, who gives a *****? I didn't know him. If it were my mother, yeah, I'd probably be a little mad, but again, I'm not a total tight ass about Death like so many Diggers in this thread. Lighten up, have a sense of humor, and know that these jokes aren't made with malicious intent. We're on an anonymous online social community, not at a funeral.
    • tightscrummy, on 02/23/2008, -0/+2Or what, his ghost will come haunt me? Lots of people die everyday, many in much more horrible and tragic ways.
  • engion3, on 02/22/2008, -37/+3This wouldnt have happened with Ron Paul
  • Triskozko, on 02/22/2008, -14/+60The person that hoped the Clintons would offer condolences was dugg down, and the person that insinuated Hillary's death was dugg up...

    I'm starting to get disillusioned with Digg; this Hillary Hate™ is getting out of hand, and I just mailed off my vote for Barack Obama.
    • DuffyDirect, on 02/22/2008, -1/+25i dugg both down because i interpreted the person that hoped the clintons would offer condolences was insinuating that one needs to "hope" hillary offers condolences (that it isn't just a given).

      She, in fact, expressed condolences immediately upon hearing of the incident:

      "Senator Clinton was told about the deadly crash shortly after her Dallas campaign stop ended. Speaking soon afterwards, Clinton said, "We are just heartsick over this loss of life in the line of duty. I have asked that my condolences be conveyed to the family. I am going to call the family, and I have placed a call to the chief of police expressing my sympathy." "
      • Triskozko, on 02/22/2008, -1/+1Good point, I'm not sure... I can see it both ways now. That's the problem with internet communication; the tone and inflection is lost, which normally express a lot in speech. ¯(º_o)/¯
      • Triskozko, on 02/22/2008, -0/+1Update: I just looked at the replies to the comment in question and its author, chrispix, had a clarification:

        "I did not have the information that Clinton had offered condolences at that time when I post. Now that she has, I am glad she said something".

        With that info I'd guess that I was right in my original interpretation.
    • DonMarin, on 02/22/2008, -5/+10I agree, I am seriously considering removing Digg as the homepage on all 4 computers I use through out the day because of the Hillary Hate. I don't mind seeing articles that criticize her in a civilized matter, but most of these articles and comments are adolescent.
    • megahan, on 02/22/2008, -2/+14I agree as well. I'm a staunch Obama supporter, but this idiotic hate campaign is simply for the school yard.
    • NotAChickenHawk, on 02/22/2008, -6/+4Hell, much as the Ron Paul Spambots motivated me to vote for anyone but Ron Paul, the Obama spambots who have now taken over Digg have convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubt to vote for Hillary.
      • smotpoker, on 02/22/2008, -7/+2Hillary 08!! GO HILLARY, WOOOOOOOOO!!

        Go Hillary!!! EVERYONE ELSE IS BETRAYING AMERICA!!!!!
        PS - That's what cops get for trying to protect a Clinton arch rival!!
      • stonewaljacksn, on 02/23/2008, -3/+1At least the Ron Paul spammers were POSITIVE. For a campaign based on "Hope" and "Optimism", this Obama cult sure is negative. There is a huge difference. People cheered for Ron Paul, and were enlightened by what he said, and diggers were enlightening each other in the comments of Ron Paul articles.
        This anti-hillary pro-Obama hate campaign is just so ***** negative it's sad. The cynicism of the liberals always finds a way...
      • d3mag0gu3, on 02/23/2008, -2/+0At least with Ron Paul you knew where he stood and what he wants to do. What the hell does Obama want to do? Pretty much the same thing as Hillary. If you hate Hillary, you really hate Obama too. That's why these obamabots are strange.
  • BongoShack, on 02/22/2008, -9/+23Buried for political undertones.
  • meyert11, on 02/22/2008, -1/+50that article lacked so much information its ridiculous. I thought my local news sucked!
  • bhartzer, on 02/22/2008, -3/+18What a shame.
  • yikiad, on 02/22/2008, -18/+2he must've known about white water...
    • OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, on 02/22/2008, -6/+0he must've driven into white water...

      and WORN HIS SEATBELT! if he lived in new hampshire, he could've had those critical few seconds to escape out of the water, without his seatbelt
  • Quadrille, on 02/22/2008, -12/+1WTB DETAILS!
  • Adamlite, on 02/22/2008, -8/+54I'm disappointed, fellow diggers, that the death of a human is being disregarded in a flame war between Obama and Hillary supporters. Reverence for life, please?
    • JCPahl, on 02/22/2008, -0/+3It's hard to be reverent to life when the news is pretty much saturated with death. 24 killed in bombing in Iraq, 5 dead in school shooting, car accident kills 6, etc. etc. etc. After a while, acclimation is simply the natural reaction.
    • d3mag0gu3, on 02/23/2008, -2/+0Don't be stupid there aren't any Hillary supporters here really. Just idiot obamabots. Look at the ***** comments, they are all anti-hillary. Look at the title anti-hillary. Why is this article even on the frontpage? Because of obamabots. They are cult members. No lives, no jobs, just blind obedience to Obama. Personally I'm on a crusade to rid digg of obamabots.
  • vernsan, on 02/22/2008, -0/+10Does anyone know how the officer went down? Was it a slip and fall or a collision?
    • wedges, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2the article says he hit a curb.
    • ShagratOfMordor, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1He had to turn wide to avoid Hillary's ass.
  • liquidhalcyon, on 02/22/2008, -6/+9That's not a Dallas website, CBS is 11 here.
    • SpeshulEd, on 02/22/2008, -1/+5I don't know why you're being buried, as a Dallas resident I can confirm this.
    • darkane, on 02/23/2008, -1/+1What's your point? Nobody said it was a Dallas website.
  • hobbitsareneat, on 02/22/2008, -1/+8I'm curious how exactly the accident happened. Did he run into the wall or something?
  • imikedaman, on 02/22/2008, -7/+85What the hell is wrong with you people? A cop died here. He had a family. There is a time and a place for Clinton bashing, and this is NOT it. It's disgusting seeing this story being used to childishly bash Clinton instead of honoring someone who died in the line of duty. He's a human being, not a punch line to a joke.
    • Shelobo, on 02/22/2008, -12/+3Where was her ,tears and emotion when she was speaking with news media about the accident ?She cries so easy ,was a tear duct clogged or what?
    • Foenetik, on 02/22/2008, -8/+2You wouldn't have even heard about this if it hadn't been related to Clinton. I'm not really saying it's right...but it's to be expected.
    • curiousgrge, on 02/22/2008, -2/+0Chill out. Don't tase me bro? Would you be saying the same thing if it was Officer Riviera.
    • ly4u, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1well said, thanks
  • SmartHustler, on 02/22/2008, -13/+1*****
  • uptwolait, on 02/22/2008, -15/+3I heard radio reports while they were on the scene investigating, saying there was no evidence that the motorcycle struck anything. Then how the hell are the front wheel and forks smashed all the way up against the engine? Hitting a curb wouldn't do that, unless it was a 2-foot-high curb. I smell a conspiracy....and ironically it's in Dallas again.
    • comocomo, on 02/22/2008, -3/+4are you retarded?
    • Servebot, on 02/22/2008, -0/+1ironically... u mean coincidentally
      oh and you are a retard if u think this is a conspiracy... what does she have to gain from this?

  • DuffyDirect, on 02/22/2008, -2/+19His name was Victor Lozada, 20.

    " Senator Clinton was told about the deadly crash shortly after her Dallas campaign stop ended. Speaking soon afterwards, Clinton said, "We are just heartsick over this loss of life in the line of duty. I have asked that my condolences be conveyed to the family. I am going to call the family, and I have placed a call to the chief of police expressing my sympathy." "

    • DuffyDirect, on 02/22/2008, -2/+6Oops, I meant "20 year veteran" -- not 20 y/o.
    • mattsegal, on 02/22/2008, -4/+6"I have asked that my condolences be conveyed to the family"

      convey them yourself you whore
      • NotAChickenHawk, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2Read the post you are replying to, *****. "I am going to call the family..."
      • Lone1, on 02/22/2008, -0/+1she did. I guess they didn't say anything about it till after it was done, probably to prevent a big scene.
        I'm sure that you care.
      • rentz, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1she went to the hospital to spend time with the family after canceling her next rally stop
      • d3mag0gu3, on 02/23/2008, -1/+0See how the obamabotulism has got you. You are delirious and can't see straight or think straight. Obama has got your mind, free yourself IMBECILE. Obamabots FTW!
    • SacraBos, on 02/22/2008, -0/+1The Police Office lives down the street from me. I didn't realize it was him until I saw all the other police cars, motorcycles, and others bringing flowers, and put it together.
      From what I understand from the some of the other Officers there, Hillary did meet with the family at the Hospital.
  • bingobongony, on 02/22/2008, -7/+42OK...hypocrites...explain to me why the fact that he was escorting Hillary Clinton is such a big part of the story that it needs to be in the headline.

    Then go back to yesterday when you were all whining like the worthleess little bitches that you are over Fox News putting Video Gamers Leave Son To Die in their healine over a story about assholes to ignored their baby while they played video games, among other things.

    Then realize how when you act hypocritical, no one ever cares about your opinions.
    • olbap, on 02/22/2008, -9/+2They care if they are on Digg. You lose!
    • enclaved, on 02/22/2008, -3/+2The difference is, no one is blaming Hillary. A cop dying in the line of duty is an event that's worthy of the conditions of that death being news.
    • AgentMull, on 02/23/2008, -1/+2While I agree with your point, what good would an article be thats titled "Dallas Cop Dies." Most stories that have people dying usually say how they died, or where they died.
      • d3mag0gu3, on 02/23/2008, -1/+0Could say cop dies while on duty or cop dies in an accident. Instead it's cop KILLED while ESCORTING HILLARY CLINTON. You see it's subtle, but the intent here is to blame Hillary. Obama is right, wording is important. He crafts his speeches to dupe the sheeple. The title was crafted to dupe the reader. Obamabots FTW!
        • DVision2406, on 02/23/2008, -0/+0Please pull your head out of your ass!!!!
    • diskit, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1The fact that the police officer was escorting Ms. Clinton is what makes the news so noteworthy.

      What if the officer died in an accident in the same exact manner but NOT while escorting a presidential candidate?
      Would anyone care as much? Would we take this much notice?

      I doubt it it.
  • OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, on 02/22/2008, -20/+1If he didn't play tho motorcycle video game, he would been responsible more.

    and gov could have saved a life. I hope Hillary is elected and puts a stop to these constant motorcycle deaths, it just break my haert
    • JanYpe, on 02/22/2008, -1/+3I hope someone harpoons your hart.
      • ezco506th, on 02/22/2008, -0/+2That would take a marksman, what with such a small target and all. This douchebag is all anti Obama and spamming about how Obama's dad is a radical Muslim. Probably just one of his accounts here on digg.

        Hope his account is cancelled. (All of them)

      • Ravatar, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1Oh man that got a good laugh out of me, bravo.
  • mikeem, on 02/22/2008, -2/+2A man died doing his job. It was a tragic accident. His family is most likely hurting now. why is this news? Bury Bury...Undigg Undigg!
  • ADVIZR, on 02/22/2008, -4/+11I'm an Obama supporter and all... and I've sure had to bury a lot of hateful comments here.

    People, maintain some respect and humanity for both this guy's life and others. The minute you start using anything but the facts against other candidates is the minute you become them. Don't stoop low, especially with issues that are beyond control.
    • DuffyDirect, on 02/22/2008, -1/+2too late, colors have been shown
      • ADVIZR, on 02/22/2008, -1/+4It's no secret that a lot of people dislike Hillary Clinton. There are actual reasons for that, which have nothing to do with someone losing his life on the job. So it's not shocking in the least that many haters of all sides would be bringing her up in context.

        However, those people don't in the slightest represent any "colors" being shown. Rather, they represent the very few who have poor taste, no matter their party.
        • d3mag0gu3, on 02/23/2008, -1/+0Give me a ***** break retard, a lot of ppl dislike Hillary because she is a woman and an easy target. List some good reasons to dislike her? I would bet a MILLION dollars that you could apply those same reasons against Obama. You obamabots have idealized him to such a ridiculous degree it's pathetic.
          • ADVIZR, on 02/24/2008, -0/+1...Ah, spoken like a true Clinton supporter.

            1. Cluster Bombing: it kills many innocent people needlessly. She voted for it. Obama voted against cluster bombing. To put it clearly, it means more kids and adults would die because she wants to appear "tough" on terror, as opposed to using precision strikes.

            2. Retroactive telecom immunity: Hillary was the only Democrat to vote Not Present for the vote. Obama voted in favor of not giving immunity, to protect our civil rights.

            3. Breaking Crucial Agreements: Hillary wants to completely go against the DNC to turn around and seat Michigan and Florida, despite the fact that she agreed long ago that they wouldn't count. The DNC asked the candidates to not be on the ballots and not campaign in those states. She kept her name on Michigan. Obama & Edwards complied and withdrew from the ballot. Florida forces all names to be on the ballot, so candidates had no choice. Despite even the fact that Obama wasn't on the ballot, now that she's losing, she wants to cheat in the worst of ways. It's utterly, skin-tinglingly despicable.

            4. Her whole campaign as of the last few months has consisted of Rove-style tactics. Recently, she accused Obama of plagiarism, which is ludicrous when you read up on it. Beyond that, it's 100% hypocritical given the countless times she's used lines from others (including of Obama), including the last line in the last debate, nearly word for word. Oh, and her book It Takes A Village was basically ghost written and the writer was given no credit. Look it up. It's hypocrisy on an epic scale.

            5. Her campaign with Bill Clinton, time & time again, has tried to turn it into a race issue vs. Obama. The American public wasn't fooled and wasn't amused.

            6. She voted in favor of Bush's ability to go to war with Iraq. Either we can believe her, that's she's completely naive -- or she knew full well what she was doing and is now lying. "Ready (and wrong) on day one." Obama gave some impressively strong words prior to the war voting, trying to urge people that it was a bad, misguided idea with devastating consequences to come.

            7. She's helping the war-drum beat for Iran, just like she did with Iraq. Obama is not. I guess she forgot about that 'learning not to trust Bush' thing again...

            8. She didn't accomplish much in the Senate. Compare the relative time Obama was in the senate to hers, and compare their record. Obama accomplished quite a bit, such as preventing weapon proliferation to terrorists. Lugar-Obama (look it up). Above that, Obama actually has many more years of legislative experience from his days in the state legislature.

            9. She hypocritically attacked the notion by Obama that Pakistan is an area to make precision strikes. Obama rightly said that it would make the most strategic sense. We've since been made more aware that Al Qaeda & the Taliban have regrouped tenfold in that region. And we've since learned that the US is already engaged in military spy-drone strikes in Pakistan with cooperation of the Pakistan gov't, despite the Pakistan gov't being force to publicly deny it because cooperation with the US being known to radicals within Pakistan wouldn't "go over too well." 60 Minutes exposed this fact.

            10. Clinton has been spreading countless propaganda fliers in the mail about Obama's health plan, featuring the absurd statements of Krugman who basis his opinions on Gruber (MIT) who -- brace yourself -- is a Clinton adviser. In other words, he's not objective as they're leading people to believe. It's a circular argument. Anyway, her fliers are about 10x more vicious and misleading than Obama's critical health plan fliers, yet she now has the underhanded nerve to say "Shame on you, Obama!" (what a joke).

            11. She's constantly hypocritical... like when she attacked Obama on a small percentage of not present votes. Yet her attack was completely misleading given the meaning of not present votes in Illinois, as well as her misleading Obama's positions in those cases.

            12. She's misleading on acting like the victim when Obama's campaign goes on the offensive using the facts. The keyword is truth. Obama's campaign uses the truth against her and she tries to then put on a public show of being brutalized. (example: NAFTA)

            13. She's been pro-NAFTA all along and right through the Senate, yet she feeds hard-working families a line of BS consistently in her campaign, about wanting to "fix" it. Lying to score votes... whatever it takes?

            I could keep giving you reasons (really, I could). But I realize some people only hear what they want to hear. I came into this election 100% objective. I was neither pro-Obama nor pro-Clinton from the start. That was until I started educating myself about both of them. Oh, and, about my "MILLION dollars", kindly donate that to a worthy cause for me, please (e.g. not Clinton's campaign).
          • ADVIZR, on 02/24/2008, -0/+1I just realized you're pro-Ron Paul and like to call everyone "retard." Fair enough, I suppose you're not willing to hear what I have to say then. I think it's great to believe in someone strongly like you do with Ron Paul. You'd make a lot more friends and get your opinion heard more without all the hatred though. Take care.

EVERY ***** obama article/blog was NONSENSE and the comments just that Hillary is a bitch this ho that. The WHOLE obama campaign is based on illogical hate for Hillary. Nothing more, nothing less. Face it knucklehead, these are your obamabots and you are one of them. ***** off now.
