I'm not saying that is right, and my heart goes out to them, but I will save the bulk of my sympathies for all those cops getting slaughtered year in and out.

Is there any reason to believe that speedy executions will have any impact on the number of cops being killed? I have seen no data suggesting that imposing capital punishment on a jurisdiction that previously did not have it results in decreased crime rates, and none suggesting that removing such punishment from a jurisdiction that formerly imposed it results in any increase in crime.

I see no reason not to consider these as completely separate issues.
