Hopefully instead of cops everywhere reacting with rage over the news about deaths of young fellow officers, they treat their lives as people treated the life of George Floyd, even if these guys didn't look like you, they were just people that wanted to improve the lives of the people around them and they were happy to be alive trying to do that when they were alive. The grief tragedy sympathy hope industry tries to make horror or shock stories to headline the news, and really that does more harm than anything else to what these folks were really about, to focus on things like death all the time.
People that look like anybody can end up like these New York City cops, but how often do you hear much about their lives besides a few seconds on the news, then there is another story. The grief tragedy sympathy hope industry might want you to feel a certain way (sad, angry) about something, but they don't tell you that you don't have to if you don't want to.

Meaning 9/11, it was created by jschlatt often to refer to 9/11 without directly mentioning it - either to make it funny or to avoid demonetization.

A phrase used to describe either someone's birthday, someone's conception or the September 11th Attacks
" Wow, Dave, I can't believe you were born on the day of the Great Tragedy."
"You know I wasn't born on 9/11 right?"
"No, I'm talking about the day your mother was born"
"Shit"
"You know I wasn't born on 9/11 right?"
"No, I'm talking about the day your mother was born"
"Shit"

Dude! 9/11 is fucking hilarious!
Hey, 3,000 people died that day.
Well you know, Tragedy + Time = Comedy.

Thanks to the grief tragedy sympathy hope industry, the aviation museum that always had a name good enough for the residents of the city that went there had to change it's name to honor a guy they were told was their hero, rather than anybody asking them who their personal heroes were. Perhaps their personal heroes were a family member or someone from closer to home than Texas, but since nobody asked them, they were forced to adopt a guy they were told was their hero as their personal hero, without any room for anyone else (since many of them thought the name of the museum was good enough as it was, without being forced to change, and it was going to get changed to a preselected name chosen by the "new guard" instead of by the residents).

If the coronavirus hype didn't keep going, people would begin to wake up. Therefore the grief/tragedy/sympathy machine keeps it going, keeps the misinformation spreading like wildfire.
