It is sickening, and it’s a sign of the times, people are too busy to raise their children and instill humane attributes as a part of their character, no sympathy, empathy, or compassion, children learn to dismiss these feelings when interacting with others, because public schools are now programming the psyches and behavioral composition by intervening and re prioritizing the order of critical mutually beneficial & supportive constructive interactive values, What’s missing- Sympathy Empathy Compassion Sincerity Integrity Composure Self Control Discipline Honor Self Awareness Humility Shame Regret Remorse Generosity Respect Kindness Affection Mutuality Pity Grief Guilt Responsibility What’s Commonly Widespread And Undeserved - Pride Entitlement Self Righteousness Superiority Eligibility Immune Empowered Exclusive Privileged Indifferent Desensitized Immoral Overrated Im at a loss for words, but they only think about themselves, and can’t attribute the relevance between what harm they’ve caused others to suffer, to the way they feel when it happens to them, they feel like they’re above the law, culpability, responsibility, shame, dishonor, they have a complete mindset based upon a pre conditioned state of moral turpitude, instilled by the social machine.

In much of the U.S. there is "felony murder". If you are committing a felony, and ANYBODY gets killed, that is felony murder. Not only would it apply here, it would even apply if the third robber was the one who got tangled in the rope and killed.

I was going to comment this. Although it's more broad (I think you can be charged with this if some has a heart attack and dies as a result of the shock of you robbing them for example), it's not usually going to be a life sentence. It's considered a lesser crime than first degree murder, maybe on par with manslaughter, though I'm not a lawyer.

When I heard that the men claimed to not have known about the cop being attached to their car I was floored. There’s NO WAY they didn’t hear him smash his head before falling behind the car.. and towing a body is a lot more difficult than a vehicle, especially if they’re trying to escape.

I think he would have gone on to do so many amazing things in his life. I also wanted to send prayers to Andrew's partner as I'm sure he's been impacted tremendously by the death of his partner and friend. I hope you all find peace in due time.

Stories like these are why my husband asked me not to continue pursuing law enforcement. It's absolutely disgusting that those boys get to start their lives at the age they murdered Andrew. This is a frustrating case. Rest in peace

His death had a real impact both locally and nationally, with an outpouring of support for the Police, especially in the Thames Valley area. Thank you, Mr Ballen, for acknowledging this story and for respectfully portraying and recognising Andrew Harper for the hero he was. Lissie Harper is a hero, too, for the tireless work she has done to introduce Harper’s Law. That those boys were so disrespectful at their sentencing still makes the blood boil. That their sentence wasn’t extended for it is in injustice in itself.

I was a sheriff's deputy in the US years ago, and ended up being dragged by a car driven by a convicted murderer who had a firearm. I was only pulled about 60 yards, and even in that short amount of distance I lost a shoe, my radio, and several other items. My slacks were torn, and I was bleeding on my leg, and hip. The car was finally stopped by another deputy who jumped in through the driver's window and pulled the shifter into park. I know that even in my short time of being dragged I was terrified, and pissed off. I cannot imagine the horror that PC Harper must have felt, knowing that this was not going to end well.

Lives lived like that seem to be one of the strongest arguments that there is a hell. Where else do such wholeheartedly committed servants of evil go? And who would be their lord? They are the polar opposite of Andrew, who was so loyal that, God forgive me, I first envisioned a large guard dog when his virtues were described. They would not even want heaven, or access to it except to cause trouble if they could. If they had but any scruple they might thereby be saved... but this looks so gratuitous. Misfits? How about determinedly-won't-ever-fits. Big caveat: as far as any of us are placed to observe. Still, if Andrew had to suffer on his way to glory, imagine how hard it would be for that gang.

At least the UK now has a similar criminal doctrine to implement with Harper’s law. RIP Andrew, u are protecting thru ur sacrifice all ur fellow citizens.

They arrest people for serious crimes that include weapon charges (guns, knives) just to discover they already have a dozen or so charges / convictions for violent crimes with and without weapons that they received little to no time for and or were out on bail or probation. Then they have the same result with the NEW charges.

This makes me angry in a way I can't describe. The lack of remorse, the cackling and carrying on is such a slap in the face to Andrew's family. I feel for his wife especially, because they had just gotten married and he died in the line of duty, trying to make the community a better place, and these little punks will still get to live whatever scummy lives they will have after they get out of prison, but Andrew will never have his chance to live his life to its completion. That's so unjust and unfair. I'm glad they passed Harper's law, but it just sucks that it isn't retroactive. I don't often get upset about cases, but being raised in a military family, and having a dad who is a retired Petty Officer and a granddad who is a retired Master Chief (Both US Navy of course) respect is very important to me, and I get pissed off seeing injustice and even more seeing it combined with disrespect.

I shudder to think of the day they are released from prison. What's to stop them from doing the same thing again? I feel bad for this family but also bad for the future families these guys are going to affect when they get out.

Those teens showing zero remorse was the most infuriating thing about this case. So freaking despicable.

😲 hi Mr. Ballen, It's good to see your still telling your stories! I been in and out of the hospital, but I been listening to ya! I just wanted you to know that you are a good friend to keep people company when they are alone... Keep on keeping on, and I will send you another message in the future! bye friend... Jeremy in Virginia, VA 🙏🙏🙏🫡👍👌👋🖖✌️

Oh my god that poor young man. Just a nice dude that wanted to help others. We lost an officer in my area last week. His name was Bradley Johnson and he and another officer were shot while pursuing a felon with a LONG list of crimes. The other officer survived, however Bradley was shot in the head and didn't make it. He was 32 years old, had two young daughters, and was engaged to be married. At the time of the shooting, the felon was out on bond, which is being investigated since it is unclear why this was allowed to happen considering his laundry list of active open charges/crimes. Bradley was on the phone with his father planning a fishing trip only a couple of hours before his death. The world can be so senseless.

@@deepapatricia I don't necessarily think law enforcement needs to be "feared" per se, but I do think people have lost way too much respect for them.

I live close to where this happened. I can still remember the reaction online after those oxygen thieves laughed their way out of court. Whenever an officer is injured today, the name Andrew Harper is still mentioned. His wife is an incredible woman and her work means every emergency worker killed in the future will now receive proper justice

I like the new law but I also see how it could be bad. Like say if a guy is jaywalking and an officer runs out into the street to catch him and give him a ticket but the officer is then hit by a bus and dies. I would be pretty upset about going to prison for life for jaywalking.

Thank you for the upload Mr Ballen. Very sad and extremely hard to handle. This story reminds me of why Skye’s Law was introduced in NSW Australia.

If Andrew's widow sees this, I hope she is doing well. It is amazing that she turned her loss into something positive so that injustices like this will never happen again.

I knew that case, and the source I heard about it didn't hesitate to go into pretty much graphic detail. Which was quite horrifying. But here's the thing: Without ever giving the same amount of graphic detail, Mr Ballen makes this case even more horrific, because he makes you perceive "the victim" as an actual person, who would have had a future, and who is greatly grieved by the ones he left behind. Thank you for treating Andrew's memory with the amount of respect he deserves, as a human and a person.
