Be interesting to see how this guy’s treatment compares to Luigi’s

[-] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 24 points 1 month ago

4x the number of victims - he should require 4x the security, right? Bring in 4 precincts worth of police to escort him. Maybe they can requisition some of the tanks from the parade on Saturday. Just to be safe, you know?

I expect him to be flown in via TWO helicopters and those helicopter pilots and their wives to take part in the perp walk

Well, he assassinated an member of government. That's far worse than a private citizen.

May the full strength of the law punish this pos.

I guarantee he is not charged with terrorism. And threatened in the news cycle or by Pam Bondi's office with the death penalty. His victims deaths didn't affect enough shareholders to warrant such rhetoric.

Trump will want to pardon him

[-] hefejefe@lemm.ee 18 points 1 month ago

If Luigi gets the death penalty, so should this guy.

[-] mke_geek@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

They should both be given life sentences, they both committed murder.

Are those guys part of the military?
Or cops with toys?

[-] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 1 month ago

Cops who want to kill people

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

That doesn't narrow it down

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

I see the state of Minnesota and the words "special weapons" on that guy's patch, so yeah these are the guys that would actually have the real gear to respond to stuff like this. Your everyday beat cop isn't trained for it and shouldn't carry more than pepper spray.

ACAB.

With that out of the way, I'm ok having a specially trained and competent department or whatever to handle high pressure dangerous situations that they are equipped for literally and mentally (deescalation, negotiating, etc). Really, I think that could probably be a job for the national guard. It's unfortunate that the world has bad enough people that sometimes armed personnel are required, but it should be under trained, power hungry ~~gangsters~~ cops.
