Ok, and who are they going to sue?

Why...
...shouldn't the wife be able to sue her husbands murderers estate?
Why should a cop expect to get killed and a criminal not expect to get killed?
If this kid was executed by the cops and his family, those paragons of child raising virtue, get MILLIONS of dollars, why shouldn't at least some of that money go to the cops family?
Some are very uptight about the cops executing this guy. I'm a good bit more uptight about this kid murdering a cop. I think that is the larger problem.
Was there even a thread started about the cops death? Was there? Anyone? And yet we've got some 20 pages over his killer. I think his widow should absolutely be able to sue.

Anyone notice that the inmate didn't have a lawyer, but as soon as there was someone to sue, (we don't know who yet, but SOMEBODY's gonna get sued) the family suddenly has a lawyer/spokesman?
There's no money in defending the guy, but let him die in jail and everyone is out for a buck.

Oh. And I agree that they should be able to get some sort of compensation...BUT...do I think they will actually be able to sue if he was in the line of duty? Heck no.
Not saying it will or won't happen, just stating that I can't see it being a possibility seeing as he knew what risks there were with the job. Would a family sue if a construction worker fell off of a building? :shrug: I'm just saying
I think it is crazy we are even talking about any suing going on..but I understand that the point people are trying to make is that it is retaliation for if the thug's family tries to sue. God I hate our sue happy society.

For crying...
...out loud! Do you not hear what you're saying! A murderer has the right to sue for wrongful death but the law abiding don't????????????????????
Fell off a roof? Anh, he knew the risks.
Run down, shot in the line of duty? He knew the risks.
Building cave in while trying to put it out? To bad. Risky business.
Murder a cop? Slam into him with a vehicle and run him down and drag him to his death then get offed in jail by some other cops who are a bit...upset?
WRONGFUL DEATH!
Holy hell.

I'm not saying it is right (that the thug's family is suing and the cop's we will assume isn't)...I'm saying that NOBODY should be able to sue in this instance.
I will stand by the idea, that no, the cop's family shouldn't be able to sue. THe ONLY reason I would say it is ok is to recieve any handouts the thug's family gets from this.
No way should a cop be able to sue from something that happens on duty. They'll get workers comp for him dying on the job, they'll get his insurance payout, shouldn't get any more.

It's not about the bad guy (Ronnie White). There's no discussion to be had about him - he met the violent end that he had coming to him, in one way or another. What's being discussed, is whether there's another bad guy who did something to hurt Findley's family. They guy who eliminated the chance at justice being properly carried out, and law & order maintained. And took attention away from the real victim - Findley.
And I agree that there is another criminal, an especially bad one if it turns out to be a LEO, who is paid to uphold the law, not murder.

Why...
...the hell not???
If the cops murdered this guy, they are wrong to do so and I can see the families desire, and right, to sue for wrongful death. Their boy does sound like he was murdered. I would argue if we treated murderous thugs properly, there would be way less motivation for this kind of lawlessness withing law enforcement, but, that is another issue.
Now, why in the hell shouldn't a cop's family be able to sue the killer of their loved one? Say some rich drug dealer shoots a cop dead or runs one over. What is the legal and societal objection to the cops family suing the ####ers estate?

The fact that all of this sue-happiness is ####ing ridiculous. If he didn't want to risk getting shot at, sign up for a different god damn job. That is like saying someone who joins the army and gets killed should be able to have their family sue, what, the (example) Iraqi Government for wrongful death? Someone is probably going to come back with the fact that he is fighting a war or something...but what the hell is a cop doing? He is fighting a war on the streets.
Sheesh. Suing makes me sick.
I feel pretty damn confident that this cop would NOT want to have his family sue over his death from dying in the line of duty. I think I'm going to ask a couple cop friends what their opinions are on if they died.
I have a feeling that this could have all been prevented and I also have a feeling there is much more that is going to be revealed out of all of this that shows the dirty side of law enforcement; the jail had numerous issues, past and present, plus this accused cop killer was ordered to 18 months supervised probation in Nov. 2007 and ordered to drug test and told he was to attend drug/alcohol classes (as you can see from the public information website). I find it hard to believe he was testing clean and attending classes and if he wasn't, why wasn't he violated and sent back to jail? :shrug:
The system may have not just failed with this offender but it may have failed and been a contributing factor to the officer's death.

So...
...in your mind you associate the streets of Laurel, MD, with a war zone therefore anyone, you, me, a cop, truck driver, soccer mom, who gets murdered in Laurel is no different than a soldier at war; To effing bad?

Of course Larry, but I believe the start line was when he left the jail on the judge's probation. Agree? Disagree?

I don't...
...know enough about the current procedures and so forth. What I do think is that we give far more 'rights' and protections to criminals in this country than we do to their victims and the law abiding.
We make a mockery of our rights when those that violate them with impunity are held in such high regard.
