It’s a dangerous job as you are usually dealing with desperate people who are down and out or insane and willing to do anything to escape ar do what they intended to do.
A police officer was killed chasing some suspected motorbike thieves in Bangkok area on Saturday and sadly his wife gave birth to their first baby 3 days after his death. This is a risk that goes with this kind of job everyday.
Police in Australia have a really horrible job nowadays as hardly anyone respects them and people know they can taunt them and taunt them and the police cannot do anything. Most of the youths of Australia have no respect for anyone anymore and the way they blatantly flout laws is a joke. Then again our court system is a joke full of gutless judges who make the most idiotic rulings on cases that only boggles the mind to think what they were thinking, drinking or smoking when they were in the chambers thinking about the sentence.
The punishment hardly ever fits the crime anymore in Australia and the public and police have lost faith in the judicial system. So many people ask to be excused from jury duty as they find a person guilty of a serious crime and they are slapped on the wrist and sent back out into the public to do it again.
Anyway a man who shot a policeman three times during a routine traffic stop has been sentenced to 15 years in prison with a non parole period of 10 years.
I am sorry but this isn’t a real punishment. This scumbag needs to stay in prison for the term of his miserable life and hopefully suffer being raped and bashed on a daily basis. Is this too harsh? I don’t think so.
This fool’s lethal intent was demonstrated by the fact he got out of his car after shooting Sgt Cooper in the face and shot him a second and third time in the back. How lucky is the policeman lucky to be alive?
But get this he had pleaded not guilty and showed no emotion when the sentence was handed down to him. Good to see he was remorseful.
The court was told he had a long criminal history, suffered from psychiatric disorders and was a regular abuser of drugs and alcohol. Isn’t this everyone’s pathetic attempt of not being liable for their actions? I was on drugs, drunk blah, blah. So bloody what you did it to yourself you cretin have some guts in your life to take the blame for once for your actions. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22015890-662,00.html
I just wish I could be a judge and I would have said “The term of your natural life and 50 cats and nine tails a day for the rest of that time” which hopefully wouldn’t be long. What a waste of our precious resources these people are like food, water, money and most of all oxygen. I am pretty sure that there wouldn’t be a criminal in the world who would want to step a foot inside my courtroom, even the youth of today wouldn’t be safe I actually would be harder on them. For shoplifting first offence 30 days hard backbreaking labour at a filthy degrading job.
Yeah I would like my courtroom it would be nice. So why are we sending a message to people that it’s alright to try and kill people who are employed to protect us by only giving a 15 year sentence with parole in 10 its just not right. No wonder they are having so much trouble finding recruits in Australia and they have even dropped certain criteria for entrance into the police forces. Also a report was tabled saying the low quality of recruits as they are being rushed through training to get them out on the streets and seen by the public.
I am sure this is probably happening in many places throughout the world. I actually watched a good show on TV the other night and it showed and African/American man who had been pulled over for a traffic stop and the lady police officer was on her own with this guy. All went normal until she asked to search the car and found a bag of Marijuana. The mans 9 year old daughter was there with him and when she told him to get against the car he started to bash her. He was a big guy and knocked out and then hopped on top of her and kept hitting her while his daughter told him to stop. He left her lying on the road and drove away and a good Samaritan stopped and radioed for assistance. She spent 7 days in a coma and was very lucky to survive and recover completely.
The good thing out of this is after they caught the man he was sentenced to 125 years in prison, now that’s what I call a good sentence and I wish we could export that guy to Australia to hand out some real sentences not like the crap being handed out now.
Lock these people away for good they can never be rehabilitated that’s just a dream of some educated fool who dreams way too much.
Well that’s my rant and view anyway.

Sounds similar to being a teacher sometimes. Underpaid and overworked, trying to help those who often don't appreciate and disrespect you. Little support to discipline the "bad apples".
In the US lawyers have infected the system using laws intended to protect people's rights to get criminals off. It seems criminals have more rights than victims. Also the police are afraid their actions justified or not will infringe on someone's civil rights. It's a vicious circle that creates fear and apathy.
Yes along the same lines but luckily we shouldn't be shot unless we were in the south of Thailand!!
The same as Australia the criminals have all this power and the police are often scared to do things in fear of having investigations being brought against them and also being sued.
It is insanity at times.
