Unfortunately none of the families of cops that died from Jan 6 trauma were able to have it classified as "line of duty," as far as I'm aware.
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.
Just so more people know, the "in minecraft" defense has been already defeated in the courtroom.
Not that precedence in the court room matters anymore. We aren't rich or powerful enough to get the EZ mode enabled in the courtroom.
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
This is terrifying. Please read this. Spread the word and be safe out there. They want to kill you.
I fear any time a cop dies, they're going to look for someone to blame and have them executed.
It's what the nazis did against the resistance so it makes sense...
They already do that.
True, now it's just fewer steps.
Mr. 4D Chess has gone straight to trading pawns.
Bad trade when the other side has a lot more pawns available...
The chussmasta
Unless Trump disagrees with it then Trump will pardon them.
Yeah didn't he just pardon 1,500 of them? I realize that not all of them actually got the chance to kill a cop that day, but some did and most seemed to be trying real hard to.
Weren't some of them cops themselves?
They're all at least accessories to murder.
Why not just make every crime a federal crime. And then king Trump can decide all by himself what crime is ok and what crime is not.
What if a cop kills another cop?
Is that like dividing by zero?
They receive the worst possible punishment for cop: paid leave for 3 months, and then forced to apply at a different police district a town over.
It'll get shuffled into some lower charge than murder. I remember a story where one cop drove past another during a traffic stop, doing something in the order of 100+ mph, hit the other one, dragged him a distance, and yup, the dude who got hit and dragged died. He wasn't charged with murder, but a lower manslaughter. The shit-for-brains actually pled not guilty, rejecting a plea bargain.
The reason he drove so fast by the other? It was a prank that supposedly was sometimes done.
So the implication, not letter, of the 2nd ammendment gives US citizens the right to shoot cops if they are acting as an extension of a tyrannical state. I wonder if there is a case to be made that this executive order infringes on the constitution.
Of course, I don't expect any 2A stans to care.
Many states in the US explicitly say you can resist an officer using force when they shouldn't. Many juries, DAs, and other cops in said states won't give a shit.
As for the going against the constitution, the word murder in the executive order basically removes any contradiction, because murder is a legal term in the various penal codes and wouldn't fit someone who had shot a cop lawfully.
How pro-life of them
It will be selectively enforced. Oath Keepers and Proud Boys who beat cops using their "patriotic" flagpoles will be allowed to go free. Those less white will be executed in the street for masking a cop feel uncomfortable. Those who attempt to defend themselves from fascists trying to send their families to concentration camps will be executed in the camps.
pursue Federal jurisdiction and seek the death penalty regardless of other factors
That's terrifying but seems badly written from a practical standpoint. If the AG is compelled to always go for death regardless of other factors it may sway juries to not convict in more cases where the death penalty really isn't deserved, and let free somebody who might have otherwise spent a reasonable (note: I say reasonable by the standards of our sick and twisted justice system) amount of time in prison.
That's actually a really good point! This rule could backfire for maga. We the people should just nullify every trial.
We won't need jury's where we're going!
He's trying to prevent an uprising. Just don't get caught.
So what if you kite one of them around until its attacks hit another cop?
That second line is the first bit of result after over a year of both parties fearmongering about "the immigrant crisis". Deeply racist and violent country I hate this shit so much.
And just like that, law-enforcement is now officially SS.
There's already a de facto death penalty for anyone not meeting a cop's approval.
Alright now do death penalty for cops who kill innocent lives
Alright now do death penalty for cops who kill innocent lives
Yeah, it's tragic when a life is killed!
I knew someone who was killed to death. They didn't survive.
Except for the cops defending the prez in Jan6 specifically. Other dates, yeah, but not jan6.
Is this the day after he pardoned January 6 cop killers?
I thought the word “alien” was just some sarcastic paraphrasing.
It isn’t. They really used the word alien.
Nah, it's a legal term. I would guess it's where we get aliens in the outer space concept as the word existed well before. Yeah 13th to 14the century. The spaceman version is from the 1950s (edit: per etymonline)
