Yes, police officers get killed all to often bringing the guilty to face trial. What would our country be like if they didn't think it was worth the risk?

- Very good point. I hadn't looked at it that way.

It does not sound so acceptable but it depends what the real situation is .... Can never judge anything without knowing the inside facts :-)

- Indeed, I just wanted to see what, in general, people thought. :)

The question is far too open. It would really depend on the situation. I don't think it's worth an innocent life but it might be worth the RISK of an innocent life. By that I mean that a SWAT team would take the risk to capture three criminals but if they knew in advance that one of them would die in the attempt it should be reconsidered

- Good answer, I guess I shouldn't have made it quite that open, but I was curious to see what people would say based purely on that.

No. You cannot put up a balance of lives like that.

It happens all of the time and in some cases we charge the guilty with causing the death of the innocent as well.

No, perfection is almost reachable, they just have to work harder with evidence.

- I mean basically, If I have a high quality police force, with intelligent men and women who now have advanced technology, I would definately expect them to go the extra mile and be right on target. Assuming we are talking about crime, There is virtually no crime scene without evidence. It would be reacheable for them to be perfectionists and have a high standard for researching evidence until its conclusive or inconclusive.

Presumably or possibly the innocent already died and that is what the guilty people are accused of..does that include governments that accept the deaths of innocents as "part of the game"? :( When do we bring them to justice? :(
Comments
- Exactly. Do the ends always justify the means?
