New Mexico has lost one of it’s finest with the passing of Officer Daniel Webster. The question is do we mourn this loss in any significant way by allowing ourselves to recognize the passive injustice that led to his death?
When a state and it’s chief city fail to uphold life and it’s attorneys and judges no longer desire justice according to the law we soon lose the understanding of what it means to commission a police officer.
The murderer that killed Officer Daniel Webster was not prosecuted correctly by the district attorney when he killed a man in 2001, getting manslaughter and only 10 ½ years instead of the death penalty.
Because of a lazy prosecutors and lenient judges he did not face justice for beating a man half to death less than a year ago, charges allowed to drop even the day after he shot a police officer.
The legislature and governors of recent years are a part of this because they removed the death penalty and allowed a murderer that killed a cop and another man to avoid facing the justice God demands of the state and so this killer is not afraid of justice under the law.
A law enforcement officer is commissioned by the people to bring law and order to the community, that officer must communicate the importance of obeying the law and defend that law using arrest powers and deadly force in extreme cases.
When our judges and elected officials weaken that law by apathy and unjust decisions they endanger the officer and bring chaos and anarchy to the society they swore to defend.
They violate God’s law and justice and bring a curse upon the land, this happens when a people reject the Lord and His ways. The society crumbles as a result. So, do we mourn the death of officer Webster enough to demand a return to justice or will we see more injustice rise because of bad judges and prosecutors?
