Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Death of Daniel Cooper
I am sorry for his family.  While tragic, this was an accident, and such incidents are the bane of police officer's lives, and often causes their deaths.  This is a |run of the mill yet sad death of a cop on duty.  |We can't be a memorial for every deceased officer.  If it was a murder, or connected with an ongoing reform, or resulted from some other major crime, then it would be |significant and should get such coverage.  Of course, every cop's death gets on the news, such stories are newsworthy.  However, |we are not a newsjournal.  Protecting the public is inherently dangerous.  I know how it is, and empathize; several of my relatives and students have been or are police or peace officers
