Every time a police officer is killed by a criminal, it makes front-page news. The funeral is attended by law enforcement officers from across the country. The bravery of the slain crime-fighter is lauded in newspaper editorials, and condolences for the family pour in from government and business leaders.
These tributes are well-deserved. The police protect us from evil-doers. It is only fitting that, when one of them is killed while in our service, they should be publicly acclaimed and their sacrifice recognized. We want their slayers to be hunted down and severely punished.
CCPA not only does first-rate research; it also connects with the real world by putting powerful information in the hands of advocacy groups and by presenting intelligent, progressive ideas in the media. It is a BC jewel and I urge everyone to support it.
