I am not sure if calling for death penalties for cops is something that fits slrpnk.net or the solar punk ideals.

Instead I would like to point you to the [email protected] community which collects resources on alternatives to our current punishment based idea of justice.

Personally I also like this text about executions: Against the Logic of the Guillotine, Why the Paris Commune Burned the Guillotine—and We Should Too

Well, I absolutely agree with you. My comment was a kind of .. test ? I wanted to know how people would react to this. It always seems to me that cops violence is taken very lightly, even among progressives, while the most cruel punishments are demanded against other abusers.

Well, the (only) reaction I got was yours. I didn't expect that.

But yes, in truth, I fully agree with you and I'm a committed penal abolitionnist. Feel free to delete my message, I'm all okay with it.

I think its a weird way to test the sentiment of a community. Maybe a question would have led to more reactions but I dont think anything need to be removed (I dont speak for the community on this instance tho)
