It shouldn't have happened at a funeral. That's all I'm saying.
What are the families' opinions of the gesture? No one seems to know, yet many of you assume they oppose it. Such speculation is dishonest.

I can't imagine the police making this gesture without informing the family and gaining their consent in advance.

It would be a PR nightmare for the department if the widow displayed any kind of public outrage due to their actions. The union is media savvy enough to know they needed family approval first.

None of this is fact, just opinion.
