There's is already enough police shootings and brutality, can't believe people want to make it legal.
Death penalties for all crimes wouldn't really create a safer society either. The world will always have desperate people who end up doing crimes. Making crimes punishments equal turns muggings into murders. If the your going to die for your crime anyways, why not make a harsher one?
My own choice for the serious lifers and death row inmates who have been found very guilty, would be that exile island thing. If they can't abide by our laws, they can live in their own island and make their own.
