I don't think so.

I don't understand the hatred of Ben Carson coming from the left. It's weird... Even more wierd that some here who seem to hate him probably support Hillary...

I've only seen one or two myself but I'd say they were around that.

No, a police officers life isn't worth more than others. However, they do put themselves in harm's way to better their community and to arrest the people that every day people simply do not want to be around. Yes, they do it willingly. But that doesn't make it any less difficult or heroic when they die. Take Detective Ellis for example. All reports I've seen say he was investigating an armed robbery. They also say the neighborhood where he was shot is awful. Most people wouldn't want to drive through that neighborhood most likely, let alone knock on a door then blindly walk into a house to search for an armed thug who might be hiding around the corner waiting to kill you. He was doing something to help someone else and gave his life for his community. I absolutely think we should punish those who are willing to hurt them or kill our police as much as possible, and I have zero problem if murdering a police officer carries a greater penalty than a normal murder.

I believe wkyt confirmed that Detective Ellis passed away tonight. So sad. http://www.wkyt.com/home/headlines/Richmond-officer-shot-during-robbery-investigation-dies-341509722.html?device=phone&c=y

In circumstances like we have in Richmond, I'm all for the death penalty. That's all I'll say.

Has he passed?

Still praying. Hoping those reports are wrong

That's not what Milford said. Where'd you get that from? My guess is Milford was responding to sf.

I haven't read any posts that say that. Are you certain someone said that?

Edit

Hoping and praying the Officer is ok.

I'd say he used caution, but there is not much you can do when the coward and his friends set you up in an ambush.

Still critical last I heard on the news.

He would have fit that "non violent" drug offender category, right?

I like the fact that it's ok, if someone is spying on you. However, I'd be interested in learning more about the data on the drone and how accurate it is in regards to its height. Eye witnesses are not always reliable.

If I'm not mistaken the teachers retirement system, while doing poorly, is better funded than the Kentucky Retirement System all other state employees fall under, right?

Didn't the rest of the state employees recently get something similar to a 401k plan for new hires already?

I'm coming for that top spot in the season standings

I believe they said life threatening.

I thought it was ok... This season has been better than the last
