I think you have inadvertently nailed the difference between Libertarians and Conservatives.

Libertarians generally are fiscally conservative liberals..

Conservatives generally have the philosophy that if you kill me, my family, my cops or our soldiers we're gonna kill you right back.... IMHO

Do you prefer the execution before or after a trial?

Wrong.

Conservatives believe in the rule of law, undergirded by morality.

The Cops who purposefully fried this guy weren't acting from this principle, but from revenge and they took the law into their own hands.

If it had been a victim's family member carrying this out as a personal vendetta, I would have sympathy. That's not what this was, though.

This was a police force acting under color of law, and you apparently are willing to justify it. You should be ashamed of yourself.
