What should be the punishment for a cop killer?

Immediate Death Penalty!!!!!NO APPEALS!!!!!

Danny

The penalty for mudering a police officer should no different than the penalty for murdering anybody.
Death.
If you can see no other solution to a problem with another person than to end his life...then you aren't fit to live among the rest of us,and damn-sure don't deserve to be fed,clothed, and sheltered at tax payer expense for the rest of your life either!

Yes, you are so accurate. Some of these people should be locked for the rest of their lives in Mental Institutions, and after this punk *** killed a girl previously, then they let him go ?? What has happened to our prison judges? They let these killers back out onto the streets. Our laws need to get tougher and our parol boards need to tighten the freedom bell. The death penalty should be stepped up. Not wait 20 years for it to happen. It should be carried out after one year of time served. That is why so many of these *** wipes do it time and time again. They know they will not get fried. You are 100% accurate. The people better step up and contest . Our country is loosing control to the worse of the worse.

Death. Anything less would be an injustice.

I agree with peri. However, it's not going to ever be that way, since killing a law enforcement officer is tantamount to a direct attack on the state, and thus must be dealt with much more severely than any other murder, which is merely an attack on another person and society in general. Makes you wonder how free we really are.

That's sad. I don't believe in the death penalty but I think they should be put in jail for life for killing ANYONE intentionally! I'm talking about locking them up without giving them any type of privilege - except food. No contact with anyone, no mail, no emails, no visitors , no tv, recreational time... nothing!

I'm not in favor of the death penalty, but obviously since he's been in jail before for the same crime, rehabilitation is not a possibility. I'd say life in jail. But who am I to judge?

Same civilian justice without privileges

Death

yes I agree that someone who kills a cop or any offical anyone in general should be put to death for killing

YES!! Anyone who kills a police officer should automatically get the death penalty!! The same thing happened here. An officer was killed while doing a traffic stop but in this case the murderer got his because SWAT shot him 68 times. The officer had 3 young children all under 12 years of age.

The punishment in the specific scenario mentioned should be death (and in my opinion, a tortuous, painful one, although no state law is going to allow that and they'd never uphold the punishment under the Constitution, anyway).

As for the question in general - I think the punishment for any cold-blooded killer should be equivalent, regardless of whether the person they killed was an officer in the line of duty or otherwise. If anything, and officer in the line of duty has chosen a profession they know puts them in harm's way, whereas an innocent citizen who is murdered may have no clue that they've walked into a dangerous situation.

Yes, I agree. Murderers deserve the death penalty. However, it is not more heinous simply it was an officer. Actually, the civilian girl that he murdered in the 90s should have been his express lane to the chamber. Don't get me wrong, it is very tragic to lose a member of law enforcement, however, they know that any routine stop can have devastating results. Yet, they continue their job. These people have honor, they chose an honorable career. But, we should not have favoritism in our society that makes it tolerable to murder, whether civilian or otherwise.

Peri

The same as it would be if he killer a regular person. Why should it be harsher because it was a cop. I've never understood that.

Death penalty.

Off with his head.

In this case the death penalty might be appropriate, but it should not be an automatic sentence for someone who kills a cop. Especially with four am no knock warrants causing people to think their homes are being burglarized. This even happens at the wrong addresses sometimes. The police know they are taking a chance by doing this, and should expect accidents to occur sometimes---and they don't get the death penalty for 'accidentally' killing the wrong person, do they?

Bullet in the head. Quick, painless.
Should have been after the first one.
No prison, no sitting on death row.
Plain and simple... "Bailiff, take him out back and put a bullet in his head for us please."

Death, televised on sunday during a halftime show. Hang him, then draw and quarter the body. Then sit the head on a spike at the courthouse and throw the body into the trash.

Only in America.

Hey these cops are out of control,a few nut cases killing cops ,keeps the cops in line.

Just_A_Boy

...i don't agree that everyone deserves a death penalty for killing a person...the reason for the murder is different for every person, and in some cases it isn't justified for the person to get a death sentence for a murder. i believe the punishment should be about 10 years in jail. now, if the person killed 2 or more people, that's another story...

The only just punishment would be to make him marry the widow.
