I don't know how big on a national level this is, but some you guys might have heard this.  Over the past 2 years 5 police officers were gunned down basically in cold blood.  4 of them were in the last 11 months.

There is two more between these two and one cop 1 year prior to Cassidy, but I couldn't find any links

How do other cities rate as compared to philadelphia with cop killings?  

Also one of the officers was killed about 5 blocks from where I work.   Im kinda glad I don't live down there.  Im not trying to make fun a philly.  There is plenty of nice areas and plenty of things to do, but 4 fallen cops seems to be excessive in the past 11 months.
