I can, if the murder is first degree. A cop is a representative of the state, an institution charged with keeping evil doers from harming the innocent.
The murder of an LEO because of their position is an affront to social order.
I also think all human beings are made in the image of God. Any first degree murder ought to be subject to the death penalty.
I am just saying that with an LEO there is an additional reason to pursue such a penalty.
I cannot see, Constitutionally, how Trump can enforce his proposed EO. If, for example, the state of Delaware doesn’t have the death penalty for the murder of an LEO, where is there Constitutional authority for the Federal government to come in and execute? Seems to be an overreach.
The murder of anyone is an affront to social order.
The fact that our leaders think that they can dictate laws is nothing new and I’m not going to debate the constitutionality of such dictates.
