    I clearly wasn't thinking when I typed that comment.

    Didn't mean you - The person who wrote it must be a official spokesperson. How do you let something like that go out if it is official communications?

    During my time in the Old Stability Unit and later POP unit I visited many 'rural" stations during odd hours. The total lack of "paraatheid" - awareness of the station level policeman was shocking. This is over 10 years ago so can only be worse now.

    There is also the possibility that a lot of innocent people's lives can be saved as well. But I get your point, and have been told many times it's a silly idea. But perhaps it can make a difference in our country. Like I said perhaps. Anyway. I know it's a unpopular state on this forum. But I would vote Yes for capital punishment if ever I had the choice. Would the death penalty have prevented the murder of these 5 officers? Who can really be 100% sure with a yes or a no? As with everything in life, everything has positive and negative elements.

    Yes violent country blah blah foam at the mouth internet crap.

    Ok, so was really some random crime?

    Almost sounds like a hit,or some scores being settled? Were these dead members,or some of them upstanding citizens or just thugs in uniform?

    Hope somebody asks the right questions,considering that nowadays the "story" more frequently turns not to be quite as presented.
