More Violence

I had read in the USA Today yesterday about the four police officers that were slane as they were preparing for their shifts. This crime occured on Sunday in Seattle, Washington. Apparently (on Monday) the police department had a suspect in mind that they wanted for questioning, his name is Maurice Clemmons. Who, apparently had been granted clemmency by Mike Huckabee even though this man had been "accused of child rape and assaulting a police officer". Clearly, this man was not all there. I mean, I'm against the death penalty, but I do believe that if you do the crime you must do the time. It's these tragedies that happen after a politician makes a dumb mistake that can be avoided by simply applying the law. Although the law is flawed, it is there to keep good people like "Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39; Officer Ronald Owens, 37; Officer Tina Griswold, 40; and Officer Greg Richards, 42" from dying. By the way, all of these men and women had children and families. I just think that violence is something that we should try to avoid at all cost. I also think that it's important to keep evil people like Maurice Clemmons off of the streets and rehabilitate those who can be rehabilitated. Today, Maurice Clemmons what killed by a Seattle police officer who found a running car that had been stolen (in the possession of Clemmons) Clemmons came out of a building and started running by which the officer shot and killed him. So, long story short.. violence begets violence and more people die as a result.
