Mandatory death penalty within twelve months of trial for the murder of any law enforcement officer should be a federal law.

how about 12 hours for murder of anyone?
LEOs aren’t any better people than the rest of us, and some are very decidedly worse. I am opposed to any laws that further separate the Lords from the peasants.
So if the murdered is not a law enforcement officer but just an innocent regular citizen it’s ok for the trial to drag on for years ?
Yeah...not a big fan of the “some animals are more equal than others” application of punishment.
Nope. Not until the appeals process is exhausted. Sorry if it takes too damn long. And, NO, law enforcement gets no special treatment. How about cutting off the tongues of politicians who lie? That might be acceptable.
Why are they protected above the regular plebs?
This thread is getting interesting :)
Hell, no! We need less Federal laws, not more.
Sure, just as soon as a law is passed holding ALL associated with law enforcement to a GREATER degree for breaking the law they are paid to uphold!!!
And all in favor said.....
Yeah, concur. This could be dangerous.
I don’t get why they are extra special.
I guess they want to incentivize killing non-cops.
James should quit drinking a posting. How about equal protection under the law?
Under which provision of the Constitution would the Federal Government do this?
Murder is usually a state crime. Let the states decide how to proceed.
I oppose the death penalty. I don’t think the government should have the power to execute citizens especially after all the nonsense done by prosecutors and judges to innocent people. I also think agents of the government should get special treatment.. if anything their role should be more scrutinized as they have unlimited power and funding railroad anyone they want.
Mandatory death penalty within twelve months of trial for the murder COMMITTED BY any law enforcement officer should be a federal law.
I always think of 7-11 or convenience store managers and employees. Many are in dangerous locations at all times of day providing necessary services to travelers. They have limited health care benefits, no indexed pensions, no early retirement options but nobody cares about them when they get killed in the line of duty.
I do not favor any more authority
be given to the federal government.
I am in favor of taking away their authority
and returning it to the states.
Because when you murder a cop, you are attacking ALL of us... ALL of society. You are murdering a man, but you are also going after our government element that is intended to protect us all. Killing one strips away a portion of EVERYONE’S rights and wellbeing. That has always been the thinking.
