[–] andyburke@fedia.io 1 point 2 years ago The problem, as has become crystal clear over the past few decades is that our police force demonstrably cannot be trusted to solve crimes correctly. In fact, they will often knowingly lie to gain a conviction of an innocent person. When that is clearly, obviously happening and being documented, applying the death penalty isn't moral - the state is failing in its responsibility. permalink fedilink source parent
