The Death of Officer Craig Lehner
The particular details of Lehner’s death during a training exercise are unique, as are the details of his funeral. There’s little doubt that some percentage of the support for Lehner occurs along battle lines starkly drawn in broader social and political debates, that the symbol of police itself cast in the right light has become far larger than any individual officer’s possible contribution. There’s real danger in elevating the role of police and military into god-like figures.
