Fallen Officers

I believe that the parents of Nicholas Lindsey should not be held fully accountable for their son's actions. Although the parents probably should have found out that something was bothering their son, they had nothing to do with his actions. The person that should be held accountable is Lindsey, obviously, and whomever encouraged the shooting by giving him the gun. I think that the parents should of been more aware of their son's problems and probably should have solved it with the school, police officials or the officer himself. I don't think that if the officer had on his bullet-proof vest, things would've been different. If he had on the vest, and then got shot, things would just be flipped around because the officer would've then shot the student and we would be wondering if the officer handled the situation correctly. I personally believe that the break out of fallen police officers is an issue that the state and even the country (We're not the only state with this issue) should bump up this issue towards the top of our priority lists. Police officers have been protecting us from criminals for a long time, and now we need to do something to help protect them.
