I find it terribly sad when any innocent person going about their daily routine is killed, but why exactly is it so special when it's a police offer? No offence, but where is the difference? Surely murder is murder is murder? Why is it that Police jump on it when it's 'one of their own'?

Second question - under what circumstances can it ever be right to take another human life? What gives the State the right to take another human life? There are plenty of miscarriages of justice, a pardon and release from prison is small recompense for a miscarriage of justice, but it's a hell of a lot easier to release someone from prison and say 'sorry' than it is to bring them back from the dead.

I know i may look at this in a different light, but it was more than just a cold blooded murder, it was a complete slur against society!

anyway..........

Andy - I hate to think.

And I hate to think that you as a serving police officer have to face some of the scum that inhabit our society, and I can well understand that your upset when someone going about their duty gets killed in cold blood, but we live in a f***ed up world and it happens, and not just to Officers of the Law.

But I just fail to see how it can be right for some other person (or group of persons) to decide that they can legally take a life themselves. Thou shalt not kill - if it's good enough for one side, surely it's good enough for both sides?
