What do you think.
I say, yeah. You sign up to be a police officer, you are subject to the laws you were employed to enforce and uphold. Don't like the policy? Don't be a cop. But keep the pigs who [i]are[/i] in the pen honest.
Of course, they would be innocent until proven guilty, just like everybody else. But the severity of the punishment would be consistent not with the severity of the crime committed, but with the promise the officer gave when he was granted his badge. Break that promise, you pay the price of a lifetime.
Though, this proposal was brought up to me only last week, and I haven't thought much about the stipulations. I felt like it might have made a good thread.

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.
