More money to investigations and less money to pretend humane ways to kill people. The only humane way to kill someone is a shot to the cerebellum, any other way is just a way to make the assholes killing someone and those watching feel better about themselves, it doesn’t positively impact those being executed at all.
Even the “most humane” lethal injection is one of the worst ways to kill someone that I know of, and after several years in the military I would choose the actually humane option of a bullet over ANY dipshit politicians push for their incompetent and clearly inhumane suggestions that exist purely to profit chemical corporations.
Problem is, we can’t currently trust the people that are making those decisions. Cops, courts, and politicians have proven time and time again that they can’t be trusted. The other thing I’d like to touch on, why would it need to be humane? It’s a punishment, a deterrent. It should be reserved for the worst crimes imaginable, and it should be scary and awful to go through. Let them starve, deprive them of oxygen, drown them, light them on fire, let the victims/survivors go at the perpetrator with a clawed hammer. Punishments are meant to be awful, it’s to keep people from doing it in the first place.
Agreed.

The problem, as has become crystal clear over the past few decades is that our police force demonstrably cannot be trusted to solve crimes correctly.
In fact, they will often knowingly lie to gain a conviction of an innocent person.
When that is clearly, obviously happening and being documented, applying the death penalty isn’t moral - the state is failing in its responsibility.
