My hats are off to the cops - I spent 24 years in the military, but don't believe I would want to do their job. If our society would be a lot tougher on the criminals (and wayward parents) by enforcing the "accountability for your actions" rule more severely, perhaps tragedies like this would be a lot rarer. As it is, I have no compassion for someone who is killed in the commission of a crime. Better 10 wayward youngsters dead from this type thing than 1 cop who puts it all on the line everyday...

The only thing I can add is that parents need the right to correct their children (and no that does't mean abusive).
