Claiming that the death penalty advances police safety is (take your pick depending upon how charitable you want to be):
— false
— nonsense
— disinformation
— myth
— political pandering
— all of the above.
There is ZERO EVIDENCE that the death penalty protects police.

Countless former juvenile lifers have become youth mentors, nonprofit leaders, violence interrupters, support-group facilitators, religious leaders, and valuable community members who promote well-being and prevent harm once free from prison. Their freedom has made us safer.
