Our officers put their lives on the line daily and we should think long and hard before letting a cop-killer out of jail.

Our officers put their lives on the line daily and we should think long and hard before letting those who would kill one of ours loose.

To whom it may concern:

I do not believe that anyone who kills a LEO should be paroled. The Officers/Deputies/Troopers go out everyday to protect and serve our communities and when one is killed in the line of duty, it just proves that the person doing the killing has no regard for authority figures, human life, or any of the other factors that contribute to being a functing person in our society. The lives that were affected by this horrific tragedy is felt every single day and will never go away. This person should feel the same punishment for life as they family, friends & coworkers do.

Thank you.

These people (cop killers) have no right to be free and walk among decent people. He has destroyed the lives of many people in a single act against a Police Officer

Not only did he kill a police officer, but he was in the process of raping a woman that he abducted! Why is he even up for parole?

Now this convict has a chance to leave prison, and enjoy his life, while Officer Wentlandt lost his doing his job!

Where's the justice?

This disgrace of a human being should never see the light of day again. My husband is a police officer, and this is an outrage that he is even being considered. PLEASE keep him behind bars!!!

I have been in Law Enforcement for 26 years, working for 7 different agencies. Over the last 10 years, the number of Officer slain in the line of duty has risen to an outrageous level. Keep them in jail or put them out of our misery, since taking another life, especially another Officer who gave their life to protect all those who stay home safe and sound. I pray that the Parole Board understands and realizes that the slain officers had families who were robbed of the ability to enjoy having their loved one around for them to enjoy. What if it was someone in your family who was slain by this person? Could you live with the thought that this possible Parolee, took someone's life at a moment when they made a bad decision. Sure, the inmate/convict has had plenty of time to reflect, get his story straight about what to say to please you, but overall, they took a life.

The Police represent all our citizens. This Officer was doing our work and for that he died. There is no justice to allow anyone that kills an Officer to have Parole and enjoy life!

I believe that anyone involved in the killing of a police officer should be executed or at least put away for life with no possibility for parole.

Officer Richard Wentlandt while attempting to terminate a Kidnapping and rape in progress was shot in cold blood six times causing sever injuries which led to his eventual death.
The idea that the perpetrator of this crime could even be considered for parole is in it's self mind bogling. Please choose wisely before permitting this dispicible individual to be free again. Society deserved better.

Rick was one of my instructors in the academy. He was kind, supportive, and encouraging. Most of all he brought his experiances which he shared about survival and the will to live. That shooting wasn't the only time he faced death. I respected him and am the world is a better place because of him.

Continue to rest in peace Officer Wentlandt and may the convicted criminal responsible for your suffering and the suffering of the ones you left behind know there are those of us in the community of the civilized who strongly believe that anyone harming an officer in the line of performing his/her duty to serve and protect and this officer is injured as officer Wentlandt was and succumbs to those injuries no matter how many years pass should never be able to return to freedom. And that we who believe in this send out "NO PAROLE" letters that ODMP has made simple to do and it is important to back up our feelings with actions. I believe that is what calls an officer to the line of duty...wanting to make the world a safer place for the community of the law abiding. May all of those who believe in true justice send out a letter and encourage our friends and family to do so as well. Thank you for your service Officer Wentlandt. Much time has passed but you are still honored, respected, and not forgotten.
