Restoring The Death Penalty And Protecting Public Safety – The White House
www.whitehouse.gov
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.

In addition to pursuing the death penalty where possible, the Attorney General shall, where consistent with applicable law, pursue Federal jurisdiction and seek the death penalty regardless of other factors for every federal capital crime involving:

(i)   The murder of a law-enforcement officer; or

(ii)  A capital crime committed by an alien illegally present in this country.

The Attorney General shall encourage State attorneys general and district attorneys to bring State capital charges for all capital crimes with special attention to the crimes described in Subsections (i) and (ii), regardless of whether the federal trial results in a capital sentence.

    So this means if you shoot a cop, don’t stop after the first, right?

    Seriously, WTF

      Actually that’s how I read this. So you’re already going to die. Might as well take out as many of them as possible.

      In Minecraft.

        Assuming this isn’t an after the fact arrest, if you kill a cop in a gun fight, and now you know you’re a dead man even if you surrender, why should the cops even bother to try and bring you in.

        They witnessed the crime. Punishment is death. Let them be the judge, jury and executioner.

      Yeah, I thought this was the reason they were so hesitant to give the death penalty. If you know you’re going to get the death penalty, then why stop? What are they going to do–kill you twice? Lol
