another example is that when soldiers are spat upon when returning from active duty serving their country the courts arnt as harsh as if you were to spit on a police officer if an arrest is made at all

dont get me wrong assaulting an officer of the law is serious and should in no way be belittled but just as a clear message has to be sent that asasaulting or murdering a police officer wont be tolerated a clear message that doing the same to a member of the public wont be accepted must be sent also.

Sadly in most cases murderers get about 14-20 years and half off if they behave in prison so out in between 7-10 years

national coverage in the press sometimes helps get criminals longer in prison though because the world is watching and it has to be seen something is been done
