I guess I just don't understand it. I can understand the Ottawa police officers attending and also representatives from other police forces. They have one day a year set aside for a police (I think firemen too) memorial day which draws a huge crowd.
The officer being killed in the line of duty is not a regular occurrence up here. The last officer killed on duty in Ottawa (excluding vehicle accidents) was in 1983, I think.
