Gamston   10 #25 Posted October 7, 2015 Indeed there is ! An assault on a police officer is an intentional act of aggression towards someone in authority doing their job. This can hardly be compared to agricultural accidents I'm not sure where the poster dragged that comparison from !  The Policeman was killed while using a piece of equipment known as a stinger which is used to deflate tyres on moving vehicles . We don't really know despite media reports if the driver was trying to avoid the stinger and accidently killed the Policeman or delibrately killed him which is murder . My response was in reply to another poster who stated they were confused the incident was described as murder . Regardless of whether it is manslaughter or murder, I think the killer or murderer deserves a life prison sentence .  As previously stated, it's very sad a person doing any job is killed while working . Someone working in the agriculture industry is more likely to die while working than a Policeman which is the comparison I made .
