I’m sure if you had been murdered they would have worked just as hard to catch your killer.

That has nothing to do with it and I really doubt it. The POS was a drug dealing loser and probably should not have been on the street.

“I’m sure if you had been murdered they would have worked just as hard to catch your killer.”

When I was a younger person (in my early 20’s), I used to have that attitude toward the police and their sudden, fevered motivation to quickly apprehend anyone involved in an attack on a fellow LEO. Then a friend of mine (of all things, a MAJOR liberal Democrat) explained to me that the police are the thin blue line between us and the really bad, nasty, creepy thugs of the world who would just as soon rape, rob or murder us as look at us. We have an obligation to understand that they are the domestic version of our troops fighting the enemy overseas and we must allow them the right to give preference to their brothers-in-arms.

Ever since she straightened me out, I’m much more deferential towards the men in blue. And I can tell you from experience, when you need them, they sure are a welcome sight when they arrive.
