The thread title is not meant towards LE. It's just about LE. It was not meant to be attitudey. I have some opinions but i wanted to see if anybody else thought anything about it.
I got this from a law enforcement web site.

JUSTICE AT LAST
Shawangunk inmate stabbed to death
An inmate at the Shawangunk Correctional Facility in Wallkill, NY was stabbed to death, state corrections officials said. LARRY DAVIS, 41, was serving a 25 year to life sentence for shooting a suspected drug dealer to death in the Bronx. Davis was stabbed several times by an inmate with a 12 inch by 1 1/2 inch homemade metal shank, state officials said. Another inmate was being held for questioning in the death. Davis had a major run in with the law back in 1986 when he wounded six NYPD Police Officers during a gunfight. At his trial, the defense contended that the officers were trying to kill Davis because he had knowledge about police corruption, and that he opened fire in self-defense. Prosecutors said Davis was trying to evade arrest by shooting at the officers. A jury acquitted him of attempted murder and aggravated assault. The gunfight and Davis' flight from the law made him a folk hero to some and a symbol of outrage to others, especially law enforcement. More than 1,500 officers incensed by the verdict gathered outside the courthouse to demand the maximum penalty. It took many years but Larry finally met his maker!!! Once again……”Justice Prevails”!!!
