I said greater risk, and I meant what I said. A perp who kills a cop poses an even greater threat to the public at large. And I have no problem with the perp being treated accordingly.

First off, I do not care about the perp, we were talking about whether a police officers life was worth more than a citizens life. (automatic death penalty for killing an officer, as opposed to killing a citizen).
You said (I thought) that the officer incurs more risk, thus the penalty for killing him should be more than a citizen.
You then went on to say the perp was a risk to the community at large (I agree). All I did was point out that your argument that police incur more risk was contradictory to your statement that the perp was a risk to the community at large. (both police and citizens at risk, equally)
