Again I am not bashing personal police but a society that puts the illusion that police are our frontline. They are not. The Supreme court has even ruled they are not obligated to protect and serve. The police work for us, so they should show the same due diligence when someone murders one of the folks they work for.
You have the right to your opinion that cop killers should be given higher priority but I disagree. I don't view officers lives anymore valuable than yours or mine. Again they chose their profession.
The truth of the matter is they are not keeping the dregs of society at bay. Majority of police work have nothing to do with these sort of folks.
The average response time in Bellingham is 14 minutes. I live way out in the county so its more like 20 minutes. I and my trusted neighbors are our first line of defense.

Another point was raised about the severity of the man hunt for this guy, in light of all the other murders that occur in the state.
Since the perp was targeting cops, whom those lawabiding people rely upon to keep the deadbeats at bay, I think it was reasonable to sort it out fast. Cop killers should be given a higher priority in my opinion. It's a good message to send to dirtbags.
