[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 2618507, member: 5391"] Two reasons are probably at play here. One is the official police reasoning that the guy is extremely dangerous. The guy has just shot an armed police officer; he will, therefore, not hesitate to cut an unarmed civilian down. This is certainly part of it. The second reason is the bad guy cut down a friend of theirs and they want justice (or revenge, payback, whatever you want to call it. And there is nothing really wrong with this. While there is components of both reasons in this particular situation, the police do tend to take it very personally whenever a fellow officer is killed, particularly from ambush as this state trooper seems to have been. Shooting police from ambush is fairly unusual and I think shows a degree of depravity that is not the norm. It shows the perpetrator to be a very dangerous person to leave at large. But as I said earlier, there is also the idea of 'brothers in blue'. I hope this provides some perspective for you. [/QUOTE]
