RIP, Sgt. Cunningham: Some thoughts on policing

When we think of police officers, we too often only see the badge.

We don't realize that these men and women have all the same issues and challenges the rest of us face in our daily lives as well.

Then reality smacks us in the face.

Newtown lost one of its own this week.v Sgt. Clinton Cunningham suffered a fatal brain hemorrhage while working out. No, he was not on duty.

That does not ease the heartache.

We talk about Cunningham, what he meant to the Newtown force, and offer some thoughts on police in general on today's editorial page.
