That still doesn't qualify them to have their civil rights stripped away. To do so would rob our "justice system" of the little justice it still doles out, and it perturbs me greatly that you think police officers themselves should be the ones to decide what to do with such criminals once they get them in their grasps. No crime invites police brutality or the abuse of their power as professionals who are there to uphold the law, not use the law at their discretion. Once we have goons riding around with pistols, batons, and shotguns who will punish criminals as they see fit, we stop having a police force and instead have a militia on the government payroll. Not to mention it robs the so-called criminals of due process, thereby wreaking havoc on the very definition of American justice and rendering it useless.

And it isn't animalistic for police officers to kill them as soon as they're apprehended? Give me a ****ing break, man. That's sick. We'd be wading in even scarier, more fascist waters than we are now.

I'd move out of any state that would let you become a cop!
