New law on killing emergency workers 11:08 - Nov 24 with 965 views | NotLoyal | If you are on prison licence and you murder an emergency worker or even are convicted of manslaughter you get a compulsory life sentence. Bravo. Wife of Andrew Harper the lazy copper not doing his job when he was killed 2 years ago should be awarded a new years honour. RIP Andrew. And the hundreds more who gave their lives in service. | |

Are their lives valued any higher than say a shop worker? | | | |

Their lives save others' lives. Preventing them doing so by acts of violence should carry a much higher tariff. I watch these police documentaries and you see what happens to them. They then tell you the sentence the perpetrator got and it's nowhere near enough. It needs to be a suitable punishment as well as a deterrent. It's not that at present. | |

If you attack people whose job is an emergency service you deserve everything you get and more. I once witnessed ambulance staff being attacked by a drunken mob when they were trying to help a man in trouble, all of that mob deserved locking up for months in my opinion. If attacking a shop worker gets you 6 months, which it doesn't but should, attacking emergency services should get you 2 years. | |

No, but I think we should recognise the special role of emergency workers. | | | |

A prescribed emergency services worker by this law is very clear. The murder or manslaughter of anyone can still carries a life sentence, this is just for morons on prison licence who kill. It was brought about as has been stated by the op by the widow of the murdered police officer a few years back. Shop workers do get murdered but not in public service. However, if I recall a shop worker in Yorkshire who was a special police Constable was kilted about eight years ago. If that helps. | |

New law on killing emergency workers on 12:49 - Nov 24 with 882 views | Dr_Winston | Any assault on a frontline member of NHS staff carrying out their job should result in a ten year ban from using the NHS. Need to see a GP? Got cancer? Broken your leg? Tough. Go private. Life for a second offence. | |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

New law on killing emergency workers on 12:49 - Nov 24 with 872 views | RonaldStump | But what if you are fitted up by a corrupt copper ? Can't bring you back from the dead. I'm all for much harsher sentences to set a deterrent and anybody that harms an emergency worker should be severely punished but by the same token a copper fitting you up should be dealt the same. | |

New law on killing emergency workers on 13:42 - Nov 24 with 825 views | DwightYorkeSuperstar | Excellent. She certainly deserves an honour. Hopefully she continues and we soon see much tougher minimum sentences for other crimes committed against emergency workers. Assaulting one on the job should be an immediate and lengthy custodial sentence. Even verbally abusing them should be punished much more harshly. | |

New law on killing emergency workers on 13:50 - Nov 24 with 816 views | controversial_jack | I believe everyone should be entitled to the same protection under law, regardless of their occupation. You can't differentiate just because they do a more important job than anyone else. We have laws enough, they just need to be enforced by the courts. This is where the problem lies. | | | |

New law on killing emergency workers on 15:56 - Nov 24 with 773 views | Sirjohnalot | This doesn't mean that they'll never be released, its a 'mandatory life sentence' same for any murder. It's different to a 'whole life sentence' which means you ever get released. In effect the people that killed Mr Harper, under this law would have probably received exactly the same sentence as the jury found them guilty of manslaughter. Cannot see how this changes anything. | | | |

And how would you feel if the Perp was found not guilty on a legal technicality. Barrister on luncheon tv UPSET judges will have discretion taken away on this issue We should have capital deterrent We haven’t the guts to have it. | |

New law on killing emergency workers on 19:29 - Nov 24 with 659 views | Sirjohnalot | Following on from mine above there’s also this amendment The move extends mandatory life sentences to anyone who commits the manslaughter of an emergency worker on duty – including police, prison officers, firefighters and paramedics – while carrying out another crime unless there are truly exceptional circumstances. And this is the government’s curiously tautological explanation of that get-out clause: Judges will have the option to impose a different sentence in exceptional circumstances if there are exceptional circumstances which relate to the offender or the offence which would make it unjust to apply the minimum sentence. Which means that it’s not a mandatory life sentence at all | | | |

What about emergency workers killing people when giving them inoculations through coercion? Who is to blame? The emergency worker, the corporate entity that coerced said person or big pharma with their get out clause? | |

You know my views, there's no point in us discussing this as our views are so diametrically opposed, we will just annoy each other. Think you told me last time to 'scroll on' or something to that effect, so I'll wish you well and do exactly that | | | |
