My heart still hurts for the family of the officer killed in Hillary Clinton's motorcade in Texas during the 2008 primaries.

The officer in Dallas died.

She canceled her rally in Fort Worth.

Yes, very sad. She then went back to Dallas to
meet with the officer's family.

..and how they said that he'd gone out and bought a new uniform, because he was so proud and honored to be part of the motorcade. Still makes me cry thinking about what a heartbreaking day that was.

prayers and best wishes to his family.

Another motorcyle officer was killed in Dallas in 2008 while escorting Clinton's motorcade. We still honor that officer's memory just as we will honor the officer from Jupiter, FL.

I seem to read about this way too often! I remember reading about it with Bush, too.

of this Officer. May the Officer rest in peace.

I will keep his family in prayer

These men and women place their lives at risk with any high-profile individual regardless of whether they support the person or not. This is the sign of service. We should be thankful to this officer and the family for their sacrifice and contribution. My prayers are with them.

So sad for the officer's family.

I drove by that same spot only 15 minutes earlier. The traffic was very heavy for a Sunday afternoon. It must be a pretty dangerous job to stop 70-75 mph traffic. Speed limit 65 but almost everyone speeding.

other officers, all of us, and President Obama.

It is necessary to move motorcades, but so dangerous. Leapfrogging past the vehicles in the motorcade and keeping vehicles and pedestrians from getting hit. God (your choice) Bless the officer and his family in their time of sorrow.

My condolences to your family.

Did the police officer get killed just before the motorcade was passing from there or it happened before the presidential motorcade arrived.?

said the officer was trying to stop traffic on I-95, but I think that was wrong. Later reports said he was leading the motorcade. .

and Obama himself did not see it unfold, according to Carney. The White House spokesman said no other vehicles from the motorcade was involved."

How inattentive do you have to be to hit a police officer?

that the driver possibly knew about the officer being part of Obama's motorcade.

More so in some places than others. But still.

the attention span of cage drivers is appalling. People are too wrapped up in their damn cell phone to be bothered by little things like ensuring they don't kill someone. If we had a national law that gave you a $500 ticket for the first offense we might get somewhere. There is NO acceptable reason to be yakking, or texting, while driving. None.

thinking they are the star of their own reality show. People just don't give a flip anymore.

... that at least Obama isn't the one who personally ran-over the police officer while not paying attention to wave to the cameras.

And that Bush's motorcades have their own body count:
