23. From a link posted below...

about this incident...

DALLAS — A veteran Dallas police officer escorting Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's entourage to a rally in Oak Cliff Friday morning lost control of his motorcycle and was killed.
------------------------------------------------------
Last year, a police officer was killed while escorting a motorcade for President George W. Bush in Albuquerque, N.M. There was a similar fatal crash involving a presidential motorcade in Hawaii in 2006.

8. If you post this in GD:Primaries, within 30 seconds it will be twisted...

into a rationale for Hillary to drop out of the race.

11. You mean it isn't?

12. That's not an appropriate comment.

[11 Bravo]

22. I hate to be the one to break it to you,

but you don't get to decide what is or is not appropriate.

[stillrockin]

25. I can, however, share my opinion of what I believe to be appropriate/inappropriate.

Using the death of a police officer as fodder in a paranoid political fantasy is disrespectful and demeans everyone involved.

[11 Bravo]

24. By the way, it's already happening.

CNN has this only:

Reports: An officer escorting Clinton's motorcade in Texas has died after crashing her motorcycle.

26. HRC handled this with a lot of class

She apparently canceled her campaign event and visited the family of the officer at the hospital.
