all. Serving as a policeman is a noble calling, and they gave their lives in the line of duty. But the most nearly notable, Simmons, has only one splash of news coverage from around the time of the killing. Fails notability per #NEWS and the essay NEWS. The other articles are mirrors of an "officer down" website. Not every soldier killed in a war, not every ironworker killed making a skyscraper or bridge,  not every farmer killed when the tractor turns over, is inherently notable. Wikipedia reflects what has been noted by reliable and independent sources via substantial multiple coverage. Further, being newsworthy, for one news cycle, is not the same as being encyclopedic, an enduring part of knowledge. Eikipedia is not a memorial, and these are mirrors of a memorial site
