Honestly, the families of New York City police officers are probably quite traumatized by these events. The officers can't not do what their job requires, but they get no support from the mayor and the national press believes they are all out to get the blacks (except Fox News...but their denial just gives the other side more plausibility in the eyes of many).
I know several officers; some with young families. While the death benefits might be relatively good, they do not replace a loved one's presence. I can imagine some of these kids hearing about this and having nightmares.
The folks who are traumatized by the thought of a person dying at the hands of a police officer trying to apprehend an assailant who is resisting arrest could never be as traumatized as a child who worries that Daddy or Mommy might never come home again each time they leave for work because some bigots believe every peace officer is a racist and they want all police dead.
