No. Rehabilitation is always more valuable than punishment, and in the instance of police officers: they are only human. Everybody is corruptible.
Execution should only be used in instances where the offender cannot be rehabilitated.

And how do you gauge that?

Re-offending and severity of the crime.

Edited by Literatim: 3/12/2014 12:21:31 AMYeah, really. I mean, gee, as you said earlier, "they are only human", right? To me, that's all the more reason to execute them. Why should we have incompetent or malicious dregs in authority? Why should we be complacent about that? And it's not enough to lose your job, either. Obviously.

Why kill a perfectly good body? They could be put to work elsewhere. Hell, make them the property of the State[i] if they keep doing it[/i]. Having such harsh punishments looming over your head either is too distant to not act as a deterrent, or is too distracting to allow you to do a good job.

As if cops don't get enough heat. People who can deal with added pressure like you propose belong in the military or as actual executioners themselves.
