That is a well thought out response, but I'll be brief in reply.

Many studies have been conducted on innocents being put to death. While they all identify faults in the justice system, not one has alleged that someone innocent has been put to death in the past 50 years. This has been covered ad nauseum on other threads.

Second, it seems inconsistent that you would support the death penalty for killing a cop. The elements of your argument against the death penalty, proper identification of the perpetrator and legal resources, are still present in the homicide of a police officer.
