How would you punish a cop killer?

Ideally-

The prescribed guidelines for the three forms of homicidal acts give some discretion to a judge and all intentional taking of life is supposed to be treated accordingly.

Maliciousness of intent is usually apparent and more easily shown in evidenciary proceedings in officer related deaths. So that those killers are likely to get the most severe penalties.

In practice -

Both Prosecutorial and the subsequent sentencing guidelines now consider the status of the victim in the case. So I would look very closely at the officers record to make sure that the officer victim's record did not reflect a Wyatt Earp or badge heaviness that may have been a contributing factor to bring about the death, as well as the victims historical assumed sacred position of trust that was violated to increase or possibly reduce the penalty.

In other words, I would be an honest jurist, knowing what I know.

Life in prison for first degree murder, the same as any other murder.

Despite the polices' delicate fee-fees, they aren't actually a special protected class of citizens, they are just citizens like anyone else.

Depends on if it was self defense or not

The same way you would any man, after all, they are men first before they were a cop.

It takes us away from the "eye for an eye" type of punishments anyway.

I don't believe in a punitive justice system.

Brick them up in a room. The only opening is a small slit for meals. They are fed once a day. If the tray is ever not eaten the slit is bricked up and their "cell" becomes their tomb.

which ones? cops kill cops also.

and why is this a topic? cops and people have been killing each other since long before the hoover years.

The same as any other killer, death penalty if it was intentional

@VampiricPersona: thanks for the warning. You wont mind if you're first on the death list, then
@firefall: I would be grateful, about time this country legalized suicide booths, they need to stop with lethal injection and just use a high speed battering ram to crush heads. criminals don't deserve faces and neither do I.
