What is so special about polices?

After all, they have immunity for killing a civilian.

“Why are they protected above the regular plebs?”

Because they serve and protect der Reich?

Every department gets all kinds of federal grants. It would likely be part of that. They use it against America when it’s to force LGBT and sicko things in the classroom. They use it to mandate abortion in return for education grants.

Might as well work for the good guys once in a while.

This also allows Feds to execute scrotes who murder cops unfortunate enough to live in states that abolished the death penalty like Colorado and New Mexico.

New York State under Governor George Pataki got back the death penalty, and there was a specific section that dealt with the death of any law enforcement officer. We also had a Three Strikes Law, but both were claimed to be unconstitutional by the courts. And unfortunately, too many liberal D.A.’s and Judges let violent offenders walk free so they can turn around and, injure or murder innocent people.

Cops don’t get special considerations. Too many rotten corrupt cops. See the Karen Reed trial as though we need reminders or those morons in Texas who let the kids get shot at school.

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

Fixed it for them.

There's no reason crims should get off light just because they're feckless.

Bad idea-

Expediting things is dangerous.

There is an obvious reason why you have appeals and a second and third look at things.

Once you execute someone, it's sort of difficult to fix things if you're wrong.

It's not that a bad guy doesn't deserve punished, but when you rush things, you almost always make “mistakes” more likely.

Just in the last 4 years (folks exonerated):

2020

--Robert Duboise, Florida. Convicted 1985.
--Curtis Flowers, Mississippi. Convicted 1997.
--Kareem Johnson, Pennsylvania. Convicted 2007.
--Roderick Johnson, Pennsylvania. Convicted 1997.
--Walter Ogrod, Pennsylvania. Convicted 1996.

2021

--Sherwood Brown, Mississippi. Convicted 1995.
--Eddie Lee Howard, Jr., Mississippi. Convicted 1994.
--Barry Williams, California. Convicted 1986.

2023

--Glynn Simmons, Oklahoma. Convicted 1975.

Mistakes ARE made.

Justice and the courts are NOT perfect.

Start side stepping the process and you're literally “asking for it,” regards executing innocent lives.

Have to disagree. Do not want more federal laws.

Our lives are just as important as a police officer’s life.

How about look at the evidence and judge each case by the facts? There are LE who abuse their power… look at our FB-eye.

Bingo. Murder is a state crime. We do not need more centralization in the federal government, nor would it be constitutional

That same argument could be made for “ordinary” citizens, too.

I agree with you. But that has always been the common argument. That a murder in a robbery or some such is a crime against an individual. And that a murder of a cop is an attack on an individual AND society as a whole.

But of course, only 5 or 6 decades ago, and for all of time before that, the distinction wasn’t really deeply considered, because almost EVERY murder was punished with death.

But I do wonder if this is an attempt to get a death penalty against cop killers in states that have ended the death penalty.

Yeah, i don’t think so.

Not when they come to enforce gun control, or are emboldened to be brutal on citizens enforcing mask control. Nope!

Thank you. China uses sand pits around city centers. Soldiers do the executions for practice.

With the addition of due process e.g. “is that you on the video there? okay, guilty, death by bullet to back of head in sand pit. Next! it could work here.

we are all just as important as the police...our parents, our kids, our spouses....

the justice system is deliberately weighted down by the lawyer class because time is money for them....
