Cops May Face Death Penalty In Post-Katrina Shootings - Polidicks

[QUOTE=PrismatexV8;23358003]Oh god, I'm laughing too hard to put thoughts together.

I don't Google stuff just to make myself sound smart. I only talk about shit I know.

[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyAlt;23358002]eye for an eye is a fucking terrible way for justice, do you honestly think that's better than what we have.[/QUOTE] Yeah you're right, lets just slap murderers on the wrist and let them make parole 30 years down the road so they can just go and kill more people.

[QUOTE=killz2much;23358004]This. Seems like the judicial system doesn't do anything besides slap the criminals on the wrist and throw them to jail. That won't stop them from doing crimes. What WOULD stop people from doing crimes is the old Eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth method.[/QUOTE] you're dumb too. you have no idea how justice works. stop.

[QUOTE=Combine_dumb;23357468]So what if the US government kills its own citizens, maybe if we did it more we would have a lower prison population per capita.[/QUOTE] Well considering capital punishment still exists I can safely say that's not true. If you wanted less prisoners you'd be best off removing victimless crimes.

[QUOTE=Combine_dumb;23358028]Yeah you're right, lets just slap murderers on the wrist and let them make parole 30 years down the road so they can just go and kill more people.[/QUOTE] 30 years is pretty steep for murder, depending on what the context of the crime is. Again, recidivism rates are lower in countries with looser penalties and nicer prisons.

[QUOTE=Mexican;23358047]Well considering capital punishment still exists I can safely say that's not true. If you wanted less prisoners you'd be best off removing victimless crimes.[/QUOTE] Finally someone I can agree with.

Kagrenak is in denial. Man this is great. [editline]05:38PM[/editline] [QUOTE=PrismatexV8;23358050]30 years is pretty steep for murder, depending on what the context of the crime is.

[QUOTE=Ragy;23358060]Kagrenak is in denial. Man this is great.[/QUOTE] someone's egotistical.

I don't think all the 5 officers deserve to die. I believe it should be the ones that fired the fateful bullet. I liked reading the first page because I predicted it. HANG THEM! NO YOUR 12! YOUR 12!

[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyAlt;23358077]someone's egotistical.[/QUOTE] Very

Does "eye for an eye" only work for certain crimes? I can't see "eye for an eye" working for rape.

[QUOTE=Ragy;23358060]All that costs money, which we kinda don't have at the moment.[/QUOTE] Executing prisoners costs more than keeping them alive, and now you're going to say just put a bullet in their head, yes in Fantasyland that would work but we're not doing it so we have to make due. [QUOTE=Lambadvanced;23358096]Does "eye for an eye" only work for certain crimes? I can't see "eye for an eye" working for rape.[/QUOTE] I can. :pervert:

[QUOTE=Ragy;23358060]Kagrenak is in denial. Man this is great. [editline]05:38PM[/editline] All that costs money, which we kinda don't have at the moment.[/QUOTE] Putting people in prison for less time costs more money? Putting fewer people in prison costs more money?

[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyAlt;23358041]you're dumb too. you have no idea how justice works. stop.[/QUOTE] Someone disagrees with the way I think, they must be dumb!!!! Jeez, grow up will you?

[QUOTE=Ragy;23358017]I only talk about shit I know.[/QUOTE] why are you posting in this thread then

[QUOTE=Lambadvanced;23358096]Does "eye for an eye" only work for certain crimes? I can't see "eye for an eye" working for rape.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure it doesn't work at all.

[QUOTE=Lambadvanced;23358096]Does "eye for an eye" only work for certain crimes? I can't see "eye for an eye" working for rape.[/QUOTE] I could. If someone rapes, chop his balls off. Bastard won't be horny any more.

[QUOTE=killz2much;23358102]Someone disagrees with the way I think, they must be dumb!!!! Jeez, grow up will you?[/QUOTE] you're the one who thinks an eye for an eye is a good justice system. [editline]01:41PM[/editline] [QUOTE=killz2much;23358123]I could. If someone rapes, chop his balls off. Bastard won't be horny any more.[/QUOTE] cool you're a bloodthirsty human being :ms:

[QUOTE=Ragy;23358060]Kagrenak is in denial. Man this is great. [editline]05:38PM[/editline] All that costs money, which we kinda don't have at the moment.[/QUOTE] No, you're just using a single unsourced wikipedia quote that is based on a single controversial ruling to prove a systematic thing which I have read both contravening and supporting opinions on. Then you tell me my sourced quote from a supreme court justice who ruled in favor of the same case you were using to support your argument is worthless because he's "Just some guy." Ignoring the fact that he is a supreme court justice who even ruled on the case you're using to support your view. I would like more evidence. I am leaning in the direction that capital cases may be handled differently, though, I just want a bit more evidence.

[QUOTE=JDK721v2;23358104]why are you posting in this thread then[/QUOTE] You've must have missed my post a few back where I smashed all over your misinterpreted conceptions of trial process.

[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyAlt;23358126]you're the one who thinks an eye for an eye is a good justice system.[/quote] Hey, if people know they could get their hand chopped off for holding a store at gunpoint I highly doubt they'd take the chance. [quote][editline]01:41PM[/editline] cool you're a bloodthirsty human being :ms:[/QUOTE] Cool, you're blowing everything I'm saying out proportion.

[QUOTE=Ragy;23358149]You've must have missed my post a few back where I smashed all over your misinterpreted conceptions of trial process.[/QUOTE] the trial system still doesn't normally work the way you were saying it does. In some states capital crimes might work like that, but according to Scalia's concurrence, it doesn't have to in every state.

these cops, they're all like [img]http://creativegreenius.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/i-am-the-law.jpg[/img] then they get busted and they're all like [img]http://compound-eye.org/images2/crying_girl.jpg[/img] same applies with 12 year spammers on garry's mod

[QUOTE=Ragy;23358149]You've must have missed my post a few back where I smashed all over your misinterpreted conceptions of trial process.[/QUOTE] lol you must be in a different reality than us. you didn't smash shit.

[QUOTE=killz2much;23358164]Hey, if people know they could get their hand chopped off for holding a store at gunpoint I highly doubt they'd take the chance. Cool, you're blowing everything I'm saying out proportion.[/QUOTE] killing people, mutilating them and chopping people's hands and balls off kind of falls under the category of 'bloodthirsty' try again tim.

[QUOTE=DamagePoint;23355085][url]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/14/cops-may-face-death-penal_n_645690.html[/url] tl;dr: In the aftermath of Katrina four police officers shot at and killed two black people on a bridge and fabricated witnesses to justify the shootings and the case was dismissed by local authorities. Then federal prosecutors launch their own investigation and now four of New Orleans' finest face the death penalty or at least life in prison. I'm glad these four are not above the law, as is the case so many times with police officers shooting black people.[/QUOTE] So this is about race? Oh.

[QUOTE=PrismatexV8;23358112]I'm pretty sure it doesn't work at all.[/QUOTE] Can you please explain why? The way I see it, no one would want to do anything, because if they're caught the same thing would happen to them. They rape? They get raped or something. They murder? They die They steal? They get something of equal sentimental or money value stolen.

[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyAlt;23358190]killing people, mutilating them and chopping people's hands and balls off kind of falls under the category of 'bloodthirsty' try again tim.[/QUOTE] So what if it's bloodthirsty, it would solve a lot. What do you think wars do

[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyAlt;23358190]killing people, mutilating them and chopping people's hands and balls off kind of falls under the category of 'bloodthirsty' try again tim.[/QUOTE] And if people kill, do they deserve to walk again after serving time in prison? If they take a life, they should have their life taken.
