        No, life would be better. Death is a painless solution, while living as a former pig in a maximum security prison is going to leave him with PTSD, anxiety, fear, and hopefully plenty of physical abuse.

          Maybe, but your idea for a punishment is a total pipe dream. He will not get a significant sentence…if he sees any punishment at all. In the grand scheme of things a family member of this kid finding him and shooting him in the face as his family watches is simply more likely to happen.

          Also probably not going to happen but…whatever. Thats the country we live in. 3 years from now he will be cleared of all wrong doing.

          Why? To have his buddies in the system help release him early but still broken psychologically to abuse the family who had finally gotten use to a new normal without the red marks from the thin blue line? To have that shell of an abuser go out into the world, hating the people around him for not understanding that his reality was enforcing the distinction between the elite alpha wolf first responders in life and the glue sniffing degenerate civilians that need to be protected from themselves - except now he’s not privileged. He’s now one of the people he has grown to despise and he can’t stand it. He grows resentful and eventually kills himself and/or those around him.

            I’ve always heard that the death penalty costs more than life in prison

              That’s more an issue of the court/justice system rather than a resource one. It’s objectively more expensive to keep a person alive than to kill them, if it “costs more” it’s just due to bureaucracy.

          Negative. There is no earthly penalty greater than death, which erases all joy or suffering they ever felt anyway.

    The police problem is that police are policed by the police. Cops are accountable only to other cops, which is no accountability at all.

    99.9999% of police brutality, corruption, and misconduct is never investigated, never punished, never makes the news, so it’s not on this page.

    When cops are caught breaking the law, they’re investigated by other cops. Details are kept quiet, the officers’ names are withheld from public knowledge, and what info is eventually released is only what police choose to release — often nothing at all.

    When police are fired — which is all too rare — they leave with ‘law enforcement experience’ and can easily find work in another police department nearby. It’s called “Wandering Cops.”

    When police testify under oath, they lie so frequently that cops themselves have a joking term for it: “testilying.” Yet it’s almost unheard of for police to be punished or prosecuted for perjury.

    Cops can and do get away with lawlessness, because cops protect other cops. If they don’t, they aren’t cops for long.

    The legal doctrine of “qualified immunity” renders police officers invulnerable to lawsuits for almost anything they do. In practice, getting past ‘qualified immunity’ is so unlikely, it makes headlines when it happens.

    All this is a path to a police state.

    In a free society, police must always be under serious and skeptical public oversight, with non-cops and non-cronies in charge, issuing genuine punishment when warranted.

    Police who break the law must be prosecuted like anyone else, promptly fired if guilty, and barred from ever working in law-enforcement again.

    That’s the solution.

♦ ♦ ♦

Our definition of ‘cops’ is broad, and includes prison guards, probation officers, shitty DAs and judges, etc — anyone who has the authority to fuck over people’s lives, with minimal or no oversight.

RULES

① Real-life decorum is expected. Please don’t say things only a child or a jackass would say in person.

② If you’re here to support the police, you’re trolling. Please exercise your right to remain silent.

③ Saying cops ANYONE should be killed lowers the IQ in any conversation. They’re about killing people; we’re not.

④ Please don’t dox or post calls for harassment, vigilantism, tar & feather attacks, etc.

Please also abide by the instance rules.
