I feel like if I were the family member / spouse of the officer that got shot (or many others who have also been killed) by the dregs of human society who are just continually released with no consequences...I feel like it would be hard to not take justice into my own hands, since it seems clear the justice system is now just a system. It doesn't feel like it dispenses justice anymore.
I do wonder how long people will put up with it. I understand the system does not want us to perform street justice, nor is it necessarily a good thing, and even Biblically speaking, it says "vengeance is mine, I will repay says the Lord" instructing us not to seek vengeance, but it would still be hard I believe. Very hard. I hate seeing these posts where officers lose their life to scumbags who ought to be in prison but are not due to our system. |

Most of the laws in North America are based on British Common Law, which takes a lot of its principals from Christian religion and values. If you look at the principals of laws, at least early laws, common sense certainly seemed to be a cornerstone principle.

That brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "Catch and Release"

It's ridiculous. It's like a revolving door. There are absolutely no consequences for bad behavior as far as criminals go. NYC needs to go back to broken windows and stop and frisk. If people get away with the little stuff, they just continue and go on to the big stuff. And now, they aren't even held on bail with freakin gun charges. It boggles my brain. All of a sudden the criminals are the victims.

Unfortunately, a certain well-known former national politician is allegedly going to attend this officer's funeral, and probably turn it into a circus instead of a respectful/dignified memorial.....

EDIT - I'm not trashing him. He does support law enforcement. I just have doubts about him being the one to get credit for something Tunnel to Towers did. https://t2t.org/fallen-first-responder-home-program/

Let me guess just who will be creating said circus? It for sure won't be the attendee.
