I agree. It's saddening and maddening that all of our first-responder groups are having to compete with each other, other states, and even international markets where the PPE has been exported even after the coronavirus was a known threat to our country. It did not have to be this way; our government was unforgivably unprepared for a known risk. The citizens who are fighting on the front lines to keep us healthy should have been top priority from the start. I've heard the analogy that sending our first-responders and health care workers into the trenches without proper PPE is like sending soldiers to war without adequate weaponry/ammunition. That's how I see it too.

Completely agree. I'm so glad you don't have this headache, HotD. It wasn't that long ago that you would have had employees out there working.

I feel grateful I’m out of that business every day, Duchess. Not because I don’t want to contribute. But, because there would be no way I could take care of my mom and still manage that 24/7 health care business now, especially during this crisis. Police officers, doctors, nurses, firefighters, and other essential workers have my deep gratitude for being willing and able to do it all. RE: *IN THE LINE OF DUTY* OFFICER DOWN - HairOfTheDog - 04-02-2020 The Chicago PD officer who died of coronavirus early this morning has now been indentified. Because of the undercover nature of his work, his photo is not being shared. 50-year-old Marco Di Franco was a 21-year veteran and worked on the narcotics team. Rest in peace. He leaves behind a wife, two children, ages 7 and 10, and a brother who also works as a Chicago police officer in the narcotics department. His brother is currently in isolation. "The searing loss is another reminder of the lethal danger to COVID-19 and danger it poses to our city," Mayor Lightfoot said. "The numbers we hear every day are more than just statistics they represent our neighbors, grandparents, colleagues and friends." Supt. Beck said this virus impacts first responders differently, as they can not shelter in place and are on the front lines. Because of that, the department will explore whether Di Franco's death meets the standards for a line-of-duty death classification.

RE: *IN THE LINE OF DUTY* OFFICER DOWN - HairOfTheDog - 04-03-2020 It really is a very sad situation and it's getting worse for police officers across the country.
RE: *IN THE LINE OF DUTY* OFFICER DOWN - Clang McFly - 04-03-2020 Fuck. I was telling my friend that NY is probably headed for a full lockdown. I'm probably not going back to work on the 16th am l? RE: *IN THE LINE OF DUTY* OFFICER DOWN - Duchess - 04-03-2020 No RE: *IN THE LINE OF DUTY* OFFICER DOWN - HairOfTheDog - 04-14-2020 New York City: Covid-19 Deaths With the city shut down and a very low rate of crime taking place, the NYPD is losing personnel at a very high rate due to Covid-19 exposure and infections. The head of the NYPD’s detective union called the coronavirus an “invisible bullet” for cops — as two more detectives died from the COVID-19 pandemic, The Post has learned. One of the detectives, Raymond Abear, who had 19 years on the job, was temporarily assigned to the Special Victims Night Watch, but his permanent command was the Queens Special Victims Division. The 44-year-old is survived by his wife and two kids. Rest in peace. The other detective, Jeffrey Scalf, who worked in the Bronx Gang Squad, joined the NYPD 14 years ago. He was 46 years old and leaves behind a wife and three children. Rest in peace. “Our detectives, like every NYPD member, are out there on the front line and have a high risk of contracting this terrible virus,” Detectives’ Endowment Association president Paul DiGiacomo said Sunday. “It’s a very dangerous time for New York City detectives and all first responders.” (continued) RE: *IN THE LINE OF DUTY* OFFICER DOWN - HairOfTheDog - 04-14-2020 “The fact that you’re out there risking your life every day, one, from the criminal element, and two, from what I call the invisible bullet, this coronavirus,” DiGiacomo said. “And then you are going home and possibly taking it home to your families, which is very disturbing for all first responders.” With the deaths of Abear and Scalf, the NYPD has lost 23 total members to coronavirus — four of whom held the rank of detective. As of Sunday evening, 2,344 uniformed officers and 489 civilian members of the department had contracted the disease. https://nypost.com/2020/04/13/nypd-loses-2-more-detectives-to-invisible-bullet-coronavirus/ RE: *IN THE LINE OF DUTY* OFFICER DOWN - Duchess - 04-14-2020 God, that's awful. I saw that some who work in supermarkets are dying now too. I used to think that the horror of 9⁄11 was the worst thing in my lifetime but this virus takes the cake.

Deputy Calata and a sergeant were both shot and wounded before the subject was killed by return gunfire.

Deputy Calata was a U.S. Army veteran and a Washington National Guard veteran. He had served with the Pierce County Sheriff's Department for 6-1/2 years and was assigned to the contracted Edgewood Police Department. He is survived by his wife and 4-year-old child.

That area has seen the death of a few officers, including a classmate, and one of the community officers that was on patrol at our school. The procession is Friday. |
