Reply to comment by Ffffqqq in 2 Hialeah Police Officers Accused of Kidnapping and Beating Homeless Man by Blinky_OR

It's a horrible crime, but I really don't like that the death penalty is an option for kidnapping or sexual assault, whether it's a hate crime or not.

Cops are supposed to be a trusted government organization. If penalties arent as high if not higher for something like this then they're no better than a government backed street gang, or worse Home Owner Association

Yep. If you make the punishment for a rape or kidnapping at the same level as murder you just incentivize rapists and kidnappers to kill their victims
