-- God says to *DO* justly and to *LOVE* mercy... not to "love" Justice and *DO* mercy. --

Yeah, but it's not my place to heap mental torment on the wicked. I'm all for doing justice on earth, and for these officers, that means FIRED and JAILED and FELONS. I won't get that, but I don't think wishing that for justice is unchristian.

OTOH, wishing them to have unbearable mental torment, perhaps to the point of suicide, well, that is unchristian. And yeah, I hope for that too.

You’re thinking wrongly again.
It is *FAR* better to apply the Death penalty for this murder than to “lock them up for life.”

What the anti-capital-punishment crowd fails to realize is how dehumanizing it is to cage someone up like an animal disproportionate to the crime’s severity. There are *MANY* cases where I’d rather get corporal punishment [that is, physical] and have it over with than the long and protracted “standard” punishment.

Furthermore, the “Felon” tag is a horrible miscarriage of justice nowadays. What people call “felon” would more correctly be called “ex-felon” because they served their sentence. As far as the law is concerned this should “wipe the slate clean,” but in today’s world of jurisprudence it does not and you (meaning anyone who has ever been tagged a ‘felon’) will never again be able to own a firearm or vote.

Or maybe you’re just wishing for them to have a conscience - which may be too much to wish for too.
