Kindred I do believe you misunderstood mlholt. It sounded as thought she was saying your friend should have been protected as well as the police. If that is what she was saying I agree. In our day and time no threat can be taken lightly, people can be very irrational. No threat on a person should be taken lightly immeadiate action should be taken. I hate that your friend was killed, when something could have been done. When threatened the police must take action, it should not only be for themselves but for individuals as well.
