Police Motorcycle Video of SCPD Memorial Motorcade for officers shot in Santa Cruz

Apologies if this is posted in the wrong area. When I first started watching this, it seemed wrong that they had made a tragedy into a very cool video. As it goes on though, it's just very moving. I live in Santa Cruz, this happened two blocks away. I don't know if this is typical for how a town honors it's officers but I am very proud of Santa Cruz for how deeply everyone has felt their loss.

There's no excuse for getting ambushed. None at all. Pizza my heart goes out to the families of the deceased cops.

You can't be serious. Anyone can be ambushed, that's why the tactic is so effective.

Anyway, what difference does it make how they died? They died for us all.

Thanks for posting. Thought provoking to see their community came out in such numbers to show their last respects. Will watch this a few times to attempt to grasp this moment in time for all of them and myself.
