No system can be perfect, not the justice system or health care or education or social services. But, they work as best they can for the majority of the people. Nothing is perfect.
This story breaks my heart as I have a good friend who is a police officer and people just don't realize that these men and women put their very lives on the line each and every day they go to work. Talk about committment. I have a huge amount of respect for them, the job they do and the service they provide to all of us.
It makes my blood boil to think that Rucker's family is boo hooing about the unfairness of it all. He was a criminal....plain and simple. Even bad people can have children and a family - that does not make him special in this case. He deserved what he got absolutely.
I will be saying a prayer for the recovery of Officer Pratt.
