10. Okay, went to link - that appears rhetorical based on that woman's experience.

I can understand how you might take it as advocating killing the police, but it's not the intent of the OP as I read it. Author also has unkind words to say about the NYPD.

This news story is allowing many posters with differing life stories to tag their feelings onto it, as it brings up past experiences. I think that's what the OP is about.

Consider the context, for a moment. It's a horrible story that changed her life. But I'd reason it is less about police, more about society not taking stalking seriously.

She felt the officers were indifferent to her fears and told her to move away to escape the man. So she said they should do the same. They would not act until the 'crime' had been committed.

I'd have to add that passing laws on stalking have been difficult for civil rights reasons. The police are constrained by statue and budget to not stand watch and only react to crimes, not prevent them on individuals.

She mentions it as the pre-OJ Simpson trial era. I don't think stalking was codified until after a movie star was attacked, IIRC.

Think in those terms, and get back to me.
