In reply to the discussion: "Shelter In Place Warning" EAS Alert issued in regards to the Eric Frein problem in Penn. [View all]951-Riverside
(7,234 posts)55. Re: "I don''t think this guy would ONLY shoot cops" ...?
That has nothing to do with my point at all..
All I've asked is why is a police officers death being given more attention. Why isnt every firearm related death or injury given the same amount of attention and dedication?
If a loved one got shot I would want them to do everything in the world to find the person who did it but they're not, all they're going to do is scoop up the body, write a report, give me a card for a detective and go on to the next call.
Why?

Except the murderer is a guy just like one of those. Except he is an expert shot.

I hope so, too. And that he doesn't choose suicide. I think life in prison might help. Maybe.

1 cop gets shot and they issue an EAS alert and lock down an entire town. Unbelievable...

People are shot & wounded all the time in this country, they DO NOT get the same level of attention
