Yes, it is terrible, but why is the murder of a police officer more deserving of the death penalty than the murder of any other innocent human?
Thank you, Cordex, for once more cutting to the quick.
We had two young girls murdered last year by a couple of people, one of whom was working for a local school. Oh, we had horror, we had sadness..... but nothing like this. And nothing like the two women who were shot, for that matter, but they seem to have somewhat fallen by the wayside with this bobby stabbed by alleged tangoes.
Agricola, I am sorry you've lost a fellow officer. I am sorry when any human life is lost. But have you seen the news, and the talk in parliament recently?
The armed gendemerié which you said you so didn't want looks to be forced on us regardless of anyone's wishes, the same way Vicar Tony is dragging us into war with Iraq.

Can't help but notice that it's a lot more important when one of yours gets slain than one of ours.
Ours equalling civillians, in case nobody noticed.
