Our law enforcement officers are a precious commodity i was appalled that this trooper was assasinated over a traffic stop this is not acceptible to me life is precious and we have lost several in the last couple of years these people put there lives on the line every day for us! We as citizens need to come together and protect our law enforcement personel and respect them as we did when I was growing up. This trooper was a son brother and freind to all now he is no longer here. I have gotten upset with some but i could never even consider taking a life for something as stupid as this. I sat and thought of vengence all night last night and greeved for his families loss and the loss the people of Montana had by a very stupid act! If this assasin wanted to die let him die but dont take another life because of his stupidity
