Before we get to the #NationalPoliceWeek ceremonies being held tonight in Washington, D.C., to honor those killed in the line of duty, we thought we’d take one more quick look at the protests in Madison, Wis., where demonstrators marched to demand the imprisonment of Officer Matt Kenny.

And spare a thought for the poor TV reporter who looks like a cop.
Wow I'm in a neighborhood where I've been threatened because they say I am a cop. I say, "Look at me do I look like a cop?"#liveshotprobs

Of course, there are those who carry a badge and not a news card, and they gathered tonight in Washington to read off the names of those killed in the performance of their duties.
