Men who served society were killed by people who didn’t!!
Two officers. One a local children’s football coach, the other a veteran of active service in Iraq and Afghanistan. Killed by a car travelling the wrong way down a major road.
One of the five youths had a record of assaulting police officers and possessing a blade. He was awaiting trial over further alleged offences against police.
I must say that something about this feels horribly symbolic of the country we’re becoming. Our country has a growing issue with our culture. The values we hold dear are eroding away.
Community, Responsibility, Self Sacrifice, Family! These are the values we must revitalise. If we teach our Young what it means to be an adult and give our Young a purpose and sense of self then we have a chance of fixing this growing issue.
Our thoughts lie with the families of the two police officers during this difficult time and we are thankful for all that the officers did to support their communities and contribute to our society.
