Imagine Gov. Edwards, State AG Landry, state police officer Bubba, and Judge Dennis of the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals are all standing on a stage together. There's an assassin in the crowd. Assuming that assassin commits no other crime than killing one of those 4 in a premeditated fashion, can he get the death penalty?
The answer is: it depends. Of the 4, if the assassin only kills the governor, it can only be 2nd degree murder because the governor is not a senior citizen, a child under the age of 12, or a peace officer.
If he kills any other person on that stage, it would be 1st degree murder.

Agree to disagree on this one.

Also, the governor is not a taxicab driver, which is also a protected class under Louisiana murder laws. Why? Couldn't tell you

It's hard to know the truth since the people who do the killing, write the reports and work with the people who investigate the crime scene.

Government workers with guns have become an impressively powerful special interest group.

At least 990 people killed by police in 2015
I appreciate the link.
That being said, many of the things lumped into that number have no business being associated with an unarmed killing. For instance:
quote:
Fred Perez
, a 55-year-old Hispanic man armed with a knife, was shot on Dec. 30, 2015, in an apartment in Fresno, Calif. Fresno police responded to a report of a disturbance. When officers arrived, they saw Perez inside the residence stabbing a woman.
There are some tragic stories in there, but things like this cloud the facts when they're included as well.

Weird. We're the ones who need to be protected from them.

Hell, the two terrorists in San Bernardino are in that number. Are we saying shooting two Jihadis to stop them from mass killing is a bad thing?

True- but keep in mind this was a statistic for all killings. Even then it's over double of what the FBI was reporting. After all of that it's possible it's higher, as police have no obligation to report killings done by their departments.

I don't think anyone is arguing that.
Like I said the number was put out because no one was actively compiling police homicides.
On the flip side of your argument, though you have a 6 year old boy killed by rogue Marksville city marshals. It's easy to pick extremes.

True dat.

Cops have killed over 7000 citizens since 2000. That number is low since PDs are not required to keep track of killings or required to turn them in. In fact I wouldn't be shocked if thats half of the actual #. Cops shouldn't be getting protection from us, we should get protection from them
Well don't give them a reason to shoot you. Probably 99% of the shootings were justified.
