BANK HOLDUP: Veteran Officer Fired Shots
I am glad to see that justice is being served lately in our country. It's heartbreaking for the family to lose a loved one, but there is no excuse for breaking the law. Has our society gone so far as to think that actions have no repercussions??? I believe that if the foundation of the law is put under scrutiny that the very fabric of order will come undone.
Kids: don't point guns at policemen, they have every right to protect and defend themselves and the public. Didn't your parents teach you anything????
Adults: don't go robbing banks or stealing cars or committing other various types of crimes. Don't you realize that that is AGAINST THE LAW??? If you want to do those things and have no order please go to another country and disrupt THEIR system.
To Mr Andersen's father who made an awful and hateful comment about Det Williams. Det Williams was doing his job. I'm sure that being an associate professor it's tough to wrap your head around what has happened or why they would do such a thing. Maybe if you found yourself in that situation, you would have reacted the same. Thank goodness that there are people willing to do a job that requires them to risk their life EVERY day for the paltry amount of pay. Its not every day that an officer has to take someone's life, so maybe you should ease up on Det Williams. I'm sure Det Williams is having a hard time dealing with this as well.
