PA - Officer Walter Barclay, 64, dies 40 years after Philly shooting, 19 Aug 2007

i guess im also a little confused as to why hes being held, still, on alleged parole violations. he had a cell phone and car keys on him when arrested for the 'murder.' thats a parole violation?

i guess i shouldnt be suprised, in a country where you can be a rso who kidnaps an 11 year old, keeps her captive for 2 decades, and have parole officers visit your house every month, but thats not a parole violation. and this is.

Yes it is. It is and he broke it just like the con he is. I don't care if they told him his parole stated he had to wear a Easter Bunny suit each day. That's the deal and you want to be a model citizen wear the Bunny suit.

In my personal opinion and I did not know this brave officer myself as I was too young I do have family on the force that do. The way I see it is he murdered Officer Barclay every single day. A young man in the prime of his life and this career criminal shoots him point blank.

If my loved one was sentenced in his early 20's to a wheelchair. Had to relieve himself through a bag. I mean catheters alone while the poor guy was lying in a hospital and rehab all those years is no picnic. Forget bed sores. Depression. Weight gain. Your da*n loss of freedom for the rest of your life while that guy got out and immediately broke his parole conditions? Ya think ya might maybe wanna buck the he*l up and do what you're supposed to.

His family proved as well just the caliber of people he comes from. The niece shouting "Hooray" in court while Officer Barclay's now elderly sister sat there in tears?

Hey it's the law. It's the system. It's how it works.

If the victim wasn't a police officer maybe they wouldn't go after him. You shoot a police officer you're going to shoot anybody. That guy would have shot you, me and probably his own mother for a robbery/burglary.

My public sympathy to Officer Barclay's sister. The sister who took care of him for all those years. I bet she wished he could have walked into a halfway house himself. That would have been a treat for those poor people.
