I *get* that the courts wish to create a deterrent in order to help protect the police, but since when was the life of a police officer deemed greater than that of a member of the public ?
I know of cases where people have been brutally murdered at random, and the perpetrator (never mind any accomplice) received far far less of a sentence. I'm sure most if not all of us could cite similar cases.
If Moat and his two buddies had shot your child in the face and were later apprehended, the three of them would be out in 5 years.

It's not a case of "a policeman's life is worth more" it's a case of it being a more serious offence to attack a police officer .In all your ramblings throughout this thread trying to prove that someone sentenced for murder (mandatory life) will be out in 5 yrs you have missed that there are different degrees of murder.There is the premeditated and heat of the moment kind which will be reflected in sentencing i.e minimum years behind bars .
The 2 characters that this thread relates to are of the worse kind .Although neither one shot or killed anyone they helped someone,namely Moat,to kill and try to kill knowing full well what he was doing without showing any remorse whatsoever,they helped plan the whole affair knowing it would end in murder .If someone suddenly loses the plot and shoots a random stranger then yes it is murder but not in the same league as these 2 scroats
