Trump Wants Death Penalty for Cop Killers | Truth Revolt

Trump Wants Death Penalty for Cop Killers | Truth Revolt



comment:



Trump can want it all it he wants, but he can't have it if others don't cooperate.  Cop Killers get jury trials like anybody else.  If the jury acquits, no death penalty.  In some jurisdictions, ( I'm guessing here, cuz I don't know) the jury gets to determine the penalty.  He can't override that.



This is more political theater than potential policy substance.  In other words, he cannot be serious.  There is something called the US Constitution that keeps him from assuming such authority.
