Why is it a death offence to kill a cop but not one to kill a normal person?

The legal theory as I've heard that question answered by police spokesmen is that someone who would kill a police officer is even more dangerous to the general public than is a general murderer.

The practical theory is that police officers are part of the system and the system protects its own. But in a way, it makes sense, even though the cop is armed (and therefore presumably has a fighting chance) whereas the vast majority of murder victims are unarmed. The police are there to protect the people. If someone murders a policeman, they have attacked everyone's protection in addition to committing murder. That's probably why it's automatically a capital offense to murder a cop but not the people who hire the cop.
 
what if they killed a cop who was trying to taze them repeatedly so making it self defence?

and cops are not there to protect us. not any more. cops are nothing more than bullies with a badge nowadays.
 
It's bullsh*t, I think I read New York state, which has no death penalty, was going to bring it back only for cop killers. It's totally retarded.

Way to generalize. There are great cops and horrible cops. Just like EVERY other career out there.
 
and how many "great cops" do we run into. it's generally dicks with delusions of grandeur who abuse their authority. with so many crimes pushed into the unimportant pile due to "lack of resources" then they're just glorified mall cops at this point.
 
Because police officers are people who devote their lives to keeping the peace, attacking them is attacking the peace they defend.
 
Cops don't protect anything except their own interests.
They wont arrest black drug dealers because prisons have too many blacks in them. So they bust a kid in the park for a 12 pack instead of doing something really dangerous. They will wait untill a rape is completed untill they go into the victum's house to help both because it is dangerous to them and because they want the crime commited so they can fill their quota.

Tell that to the victims saved.

So no black drug dealers have ever been arrested?

They will wait untill a rape is completed untill they go into the victum's house to help both because it is dangerous to them and because they want the crime commited so they can fill their quota.

This is incoherent.

This is ridiculous nonsense. Why not just say I don't like cops so I'll make up things to attack them. Least you'd be honest that way.
 
My one experience when talking to a cop was a bad one. The motel had hired some security for the place and it was a cop.
He kept on talking about torturing suspects with a stun gun so it wouldn't leave any marks. And talking about roughing people up. And saying how they couldn't arrest blacks because prisons had too many of them and they needed more white guys.
And he "Oh I forgot your not a cop", me "I wouldn't be able to I have an arrest record" , him "We all do how do you think we became cops in the first place?".
This guy was worse of a problem than the people he was supposed to be policing. We got more complaints than ever.
 
Onceler, you still haven't said where you heard only cop killers would face the death penalty (and not all murderers).

If you don't like it, move to Texas. We kill EVERYONE. :sneaky:
 
The argument is not that cops are special people, but that they are doing a special job in society. That's why if you kill an off duty cop in a bar fight it doesn't trigger these laws.

Do you even get the overflowing amount of delicious ironing in that sentence? It's slathered in it, dripping with it, drowning in it.

I agree, i have no problem letting a cop know whos boss if he steps outta line. The pigs arent nearly as well trained as marines and yet they act like they own the joint.

You are ignorant, and generalize far too much. According to your logic, all priests are child molesters too. Since a few have been, when they are just the minority.

The vast majority of Police Officers do the job they are supposed to. Like every public profession, there are bad apples. And the media loves to zero in on them, and do not make nearly as big of a deal when good deeds are done.

A good Officer doesn't step out of line. That being said, sometimes you have to let the other party know who is in charge. And yelling over top of them, or putting them in the back of the car is the only way to do it sometimes. In domestics it is often the case that there is a lot of yelling from both sides, and they just need to shut up when let the Officer's do their job.

Also, lot's of Officers now days are Marines. And, Marines is ALWAYS capitalized. I thank you in advance for doing so in the future.

Another ignorant poster who thinks he knows what is going on. And thinks that his perception is fact.
1. 90% of my arrests are black people. Why? Because my beat is populated by 90% black people. I don't care what color you are, you have drugs on you (enough) you're going to jail, or get a mis cite.
2. Yeah, I would (and have) bust kids for open container. It's just a city cite, no big deal. It is also criminal trespassing, depending if they're cool or not. And why should the family coming to the park the next day to have a birthday party have to worry about beer cans and condoms all over the picnic tables because some punks had some fun there the night before? They shouldn't.
3. We have to be notified that a rape is actually going on. I can assure you, an in-progress call has everyone coming, as fast as they can. It wouldn't matter if the rape was in progress or already committed, it's still a "contact". So your assumption is wrong, and ignorant. And there is no quota for us.

You really have no idea what you're talking about.
