Aurora Colorado Video

An Aurora, Colorado police officer was killed 09/20/06. His funeral was 09/26/06. I went to his funeral and after I got home from the funeral I made this tribute in about an hour. This officer died by a random guy shooting and killing him while he was stopped at a red light. The suspect was arrested on scene. There where over 4000 people at the funeral. 3000 officers. And 1000 Civilians. FYI: I miss spelled the Officers name in the beginning. It's too late to edit it now. Many of the pictures here are from the actual funeral and some others are from the crime scene. One is from the court room. **All Disrespectful comments will be deleted**

The sirens are giving an "all clear" warning at the end of the video, except for the distant T-bolt sirens heard in the distance. UPDATE: There has been alot of debate of what siren this is. Most all of Aurora has the Whelen 3016 sirens, which look nothing like this multi-direction siren. This is the ONLY siren like this in Aurora. If you would like to see this siren in person, it is behind Sable Elemetary School.
