Police officer murders a 12 year old

Very sad. Here in Canada we have an Air Force full colonel charged with two counts of murder, one of the victims was an Air Force NCO.

Well, in the U.S. the police have too much power and too little oversight.

How tragic...such a senseless waste

I used to live in Dordrecht...I wonder in what area this happened?

So do we and generally they're pretty competant.

Typically (but often anecdotally) when somebody in authority commits crimes of violence there are often signs that peers and subordinates see and do nothing about because of whom that person is or the position that they hold. It was like that with the Fort Hood mass murderer and no doubt somebody near the Dutch cop and the Canadian colonel suspected something was amiss and only assembled the pieces with hindsight.

Well the same could be said of anyone regardless of their social position. The 9-11 hijackers were not in positions of authority yet the pieces in their cases were still not assembled until after the fact.
