Re: Philly Police Union Calls For Parole System Review
so its all okay until one of their own gets killed then its an outrage? what about the hundreds that are victims of crimes a day due to this an there is no outrage then but now there is?
The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.
Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.

They just don't understand, that these disenfranchised youths have not had a fair shake at life. They have struggled with adversity all of their lives. It is not their fault, that society has left them behind and let them down. They need another chance, and more government housing and free state cheese.
Plus, it's good for job security.Go sell crazy some where else, we're all stocked up here.

Police call for moratorium on parole
Monday,September 29, 2008 | 1:52 PM By Vernon OdomSPRING GARDEN -
September 29, 2008 (WPVI) -- A viewing will be held later today for murdered Philadelphia Police Officer Patrick McDonald.
He was shot to death last week by a man with a violent past, who was recently released on parole. And today, the City Police Union is calling for tough steps to make sure it doesn't happen again.
The Fraternal Order of Police wants a full investigation of the State Parole Board's practices and standards. They want no more plea bargains for anyone charged with felony assaults on police officers. The cops say four Philadelphia cop killings in a year is an outrage.
The Fraternal Order of Police and the police department brass are calling an all out public pressure assault on judges they believe are too easy on violent criminals and the state parole board, which they say lets dangerous convicts out on parole when it is not necessary.
The FOP has a full page in the Daily News today saying they are going to up the pressure on the judicial system to lower the boom on potential cop killers.
During a press conference today Fraternal Order of Police President John McNesby said, "Our police officers are angry and they are outraged. They are outraged at the sentencing practices of the judges of the city of Philadelphia, and also the anger should be directed to the nine-member parole board." This week's poster child is the late Daniel Giddings - the career criminal who shot and killed Officer Patrick McDonald last week. Giddings just got out of jail in August after serving 10 years of a 12-year sentence. Judge Lynne Bennet Hamlin, who sentenced him Giddings, could have given him over 40 years. Because of his misconduct in prison, the parole board could have held him 2 more years.
"We will not standby silently while our legal system, specifically our judges and our parole board, as they allow violent, violent career criminals to freely roam our streets," said McNesby.
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey added, "Let me ask you a question: How many judges have been killed this year on the streets of Philadelphia? I'll give you an answer - zero. How many parole board members have been killed this year? Zero. Yet the decisions they make impact the lives of every single one of us. And I cannot stand here and say no Philadelphia police officer has died within the last year because we're burying another one tomorrow!"
Police Commissioner Ramsey is asking for as many members of the public as possible to come out after 1:00 tomorrow afternoon and line the funeral procession route to show their support for Officer McDonald's family and the Philadelphia Police Force in general.

The FOP has their strong voice to pressure for what they want. Our voice is voting, but Lynn Abraham, Philly DA, and those like her, keeps getting reelected. It's her prosecutors that make the deals, not the judge, in most cases. Seems to me we need to build more jails and dictate mandatory sentences (which the judges and prosecutors don't like). I know that parole boards need to be publicly accountable. It's on my "to do" list.

Re: Philly Police Union Calls For Parole System Review
How about PA quits allowing other states to pay us for housing THEIR prisoners.....then there won't be so much pressure to let these people out early to make room.
