“They’re not sentencing him to 40 years, that’s how long it’s been”

I know, I meant 40 years is too long between the crime and now trying to charge him with murder.

“Like I said I would make the judgment on whether or not he was an asset or liability to society.”

I wouldn’t. Either he’s a murderer or he’s not. If you do it to him then what is to keep them from doing it to you? Say you are in a car accident and its your fault. 5 years or maybe 20years later the person dies ‘from their injuries’. All of a sudden you are charged with manslaughter.

But then cops are a protected class in our society. Anyone else and it wouldn’t even make the news let alone capture any prosecutor attention.

I think that is probably the issue here

I>Either he’s a murderer or he’s not.

That would be decide at his trial!

Survivability percentages after a diagnosis of Ca is based on 5 years. Now big brother wants to go back 40 (albeit the cause of ‘injury’ is different.) Just a thought.

No statute of limitations on murder.

But then cops are a protected class in our society.

Now maybe you see why. *You* haven't been shot at work, have you?

Hey...I'm not a cop...I've had my dislike and distrust of cops and so on. But I have found cops to be generally pretty professional for the most part, and pretty decent people for all they have to experience. I can imagine it is hard not to be calloused when you see the worst in people almost all the time.

So, yeah. I think cops should be a protected class (if you define protected class as a different set of rules for killing cops and killing the general populace). We expect them to do a lot when called upon...just my opinion...
