Amid the fun and food at the state fair Friday was a sobering moment of remembrance and reflection for the six law enforcement officers who’ve died in the line of duty during the past year. Bricks bearing their names were added to memorial in front of the horticulture building. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman was on hand for the ceremony on law enforcement day, which was attended by family and friends of the fallen troopers and officers.
