the punishment should be greater when emergency service personnel are targeted, I think.

Yes, as their lives are worth more on balance.

I disagree, I do agree with this punishment but think it should apply to any life

The emergency services are there to protect the public, its for that reason I think there should be tougher penalties when they come to harm

Totally off topic here but are you male or female BOTS? I was sure you said you were male and someone else I was speaking to is convinced you said you were female

..I just read this earlier...it's such a tragedy for everyone, I think...whilst I do agree with the sentencing, I also agree with Clayton Williams' lawyer that he seems to be someone who has sadly been completely failed by a system, taking cannabis from the age of 6yrs old and in an environment that he had no control over etc...I think it's good that Dave Phillips' widow spoke in court and he had to face the impact on her and her children as well of what he did...

the copper wasn't targeted though so the sentence is far to severe.

Aaah - The Laws of Cause and Effect.

If he had not freely arrogantly, and contemptuously, elected to steal someone else's car, then this tragedy would not have happened and a young man would not have had his precious life so cruelly and prematurely ended, a grief stricken young wife would not now be a widow with an uncertain future, and those poor young children would not have lost their daddy and have had their lives decimated.

The young cop might have been a little reckless in the way he chose to try to stop this car thief - but only because it was naive of him to expect someone so contemptuous of the law to actually stop - and the young cop was, after all, only trying to carry out the duties which we taxpayers pay him to do on our behalf.

I have zilch sympathy for the culprit because all my sympathy is for the victim and his wretched family, and if this sentence makes just one would be car thief/boy racer stop and think and desist, then it will have served its dual purpose as both punishment AND deterrent.

R.I.P to the cop and my deepest sympathy to his family.

Maybe you're in charge of some information not presented in court.

But I doubt it.
