PC Andrew Harper was killed yesterday in the line of duty whilst responding to reports of a burglary. He was 28 years old and had been married only four weeks previously. He was due to go on his honeymoon next week.

There is a list of Police Officers killed in the line of duty since 1900, mostly in the course of violent arrest.
Quite horrifying.
There is also a Roll of Honour for those killed whilst on duty, many through traffic accidents, to and from work.

This violence toward our frontline serving staff-----police, A&E staff, teachers and fire officers has got to stop and the only way to halt this is to give these people back their powers which were removed and replaced by the Human Rights act in 1998.
In their lines of duty they have more right to be protected and safe.

As for criminals, their rights should be relinquished the day they commit a crime and they should be made to accept the punishment that's coming to them. Or not commit crime----the choice is theirs. I wouldn't stand any messing.

I'm sick to death of this PC country !
