Female Police Officers

[maggiebee]

Just heard on the news that the second policewoman who was shot has died.

[emmie]

i thought that both had died at the scene. Terrible story.

[VHG]

That news was already posted on here about an hour ago.

Easy to spot as it is right under yours in "news" section, as a quick glance at news would have told you.

[emmie]

VHG, perhaps Maggie didn't see it, or thought one officer was still alive.

[friedgreentomato]

VHG very rude and no need for it!

[maggiebee]

Bit touchy today VHG? Just came in from work and didn't notice. Mea Culpa.

[pugthedog]

i agree very touchy VHG

Ok you do-gooders, is this the call for the rope?how many more times have you to listen to the news, look at the daily papers & see on a daily basis the amount of murders that are getting committed.

[EcclesCake]

TWR, the number of murders committed in the UK has been steadily dropping. Last year was at it lowest for 30 years.

[Baldric]

OCD definition of do-gooder, "A well meaning but unrealistic or interfering person"
I don't think that applies to anyone who has posted here!

Nor do I think it's time to bring back capital punishment!

[emmie]

i am not a doo gooder, yet i am uneasy about the death penalty, there are times when i wish it would return, there have been some callous murderers, rapists, one could happily get rid of, but wouldn't that make us as bad as them, only it would be state sanctioned.

[rojash]

Ah, yes: the old "too many people are being killed and we can solve it if we kill more people" argument.

[TWR]

I wonder what your opinion would be if these young police women were your daughters? & by the way, they were only doing their jobs! " to protect the public".

[andy-hughes]

TWR, that is the same old argument that gets trotted out when the Capital Punishment issue is raised.

How would I fel if it was my daughter? Devastated and vengeful, obviously.

But fortunately for all of us, laws are not passed on the basis of how we feel at any time in any circumstance.

The law is debated and considered dispassionatgely, and arrived at largely for the good of the majority, and emotions and revenge are kept firmly out of the process.

And that is what makes our society civilised.

Hopefully, this post will not be met with a response beginning "So you think ..." which is the standard precursor to any post on here that goes on to demonstrate that the respondent has completely misunderstood the point to which they are replying.

[emmie]

perhaps kerosene should respond seeing he is an ex policeman.

[mccfluff]

the death penalty will not bring these woman back. nor do i believe it will work as a deterrent

[TWR]

I understand your views Andy.

[stokemaveric]

mcfluff do you honestly think that this scum would have murdered these policewomen in cold blood if he thought that there was the prospect of he himself dangling at the end of a hangmans noose???..i doubt it...capital punishment should be re-introduced for police killers...and then there should be a referendum to vote on its re-introduction across the board...

[JonnyBoy12]

I thought that they were both dead at the scene as well.

I hope that they catch the scum who did this before he (or she) hurts anyone else.

[chaptazbru]

^ and for child killers imo

[TWR]

The dead leg give himself up Jonny.
