The real Tom Williams

Here is another review of what the real life Tom Williams was like and how he really did save his son from being "collateral damage" when Jenkins was gunning him down with automatic fire.

Reading through the reviews of this film makes me think that there seems to be a lack of awareness or appreciation that this is a reasonable accurate re-enactment, as the link above shows, of an actual pre-meditated murder of a real-life policeman.

The critique I would make of the subsequent events of Tom William's widow campaigning for tough gun laws is that such laws would have had no effect on the likes of Daniel Jenkins possessing and using such a gun.
What would have saved her husband from murder would have been to change California's Bail Laws so that dangerous suspects like Jenkins are not free to kill those who get in their way.

The State judicial authority which allows a violent Daniel Jenkins to be free on bail before and whilst on trial was complicit by this policy in the murder of this fine Police officer Tom Williams.

It is incredible that though the initial victim of the initial trial for which Jenkins was being tried had himself been targeted by an assassin to prevent him giving his evidence against Jenkins that Jenkins was still allowed to be free for his trial.
You have to ask why is so many cases does it appear that the judiciary act like some criminal protection agency at worst and at best as if it is some neutral arbiter between victim and perpetrator?
Just whose rights are they protecting when they allow a Daniel Jenkins to roam free to intimidate?
It shows that the operators of this judicial system have no conscience or protective sense towards the public who pay their salaries.
They are rotten to the core.
