Murder is an unlawful taking of another life. Hence, capital punishment, combat and abortion are not examples of murder. Sadly, euthanasia is and that is a crime.
So, you're saying that the BART cop who shot that guy in the back while he was proned out should be put to death. Is that what you're saying?
Nope. First degree murder is a Capital Crime, manslaughter is not. Next time dry the straw.
My mistake, I misread what you wrote. Apologies.
