Unit 1012: The Victims' Families For The Death Penalty.: SENATOR KELLY LOEFFLER ON COP KILLERS GETTING THE DEATH PENALTY

"When a state puts death row criminals to death quickly, it creates a chilling effect on violent criminals in our society," Sheriff Jack Parker said. "While working in the jail in the 1980s, I often heard inmates say the only thing that kept them from killing their victim was their fear of the (electric) chair. Unfortunately, waiting too many years for a death sentence to be carried out is bad for the victim's family, bad for justice and dilutes any deterrent value."

Criminals who kill police officers deserve the death penalty. Period. The Defend our Defenders act I introduced with @TomCottonAR will make sure cop killers face the harshest possible punishment for their crimes.

We, the members of Unit 1012, thank Senator Kelly Loeffler for calling for the death penalty for cop killers. Although we believe the death penalty should be use for all murders, we are happy that she spoke out in favor of it.

Sen. Kelly Loeffler wants cop killers to receive death penalty

ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46) -- Georgia Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler said Wednesday that convicted cop killers in America should receive the death penalty when sentenced.

In part, Loeffler supports her reasoning based on the movement of those pushing to defund the police and those acting out violently towards law enforcement across the country. Throughout the pandemic major cities across the country have seen civil unrest bubble up with increased coverage of Black men and women killed by police.

The Black Lives Matter movement and Antifa have both been targets of Loeffler's when challenging citizens to support and obey law enforcement.

“For months, the radical Left’s ‘defund the police’ movement has promoted violence, chaos and anarchy in cities across our country—while villainizing and attacking the brave men and women in law enforcement who risk their lives to keep us safe," said Loeffler in a statement released by her office.

She continued, "Now, these dangerous Leftists have started putting words into violent action—targeting and brutally attacking law enforcement. That’s why today, I am calling for convicted cop killers in America to be sentenced to death."

On Sept. 12 two California deputies were shot multiple times while inside their patrol car near a Compton metro station. The shooting is just one of several violent attacks on law enforcement by civilians.

In Atlanta some protest disruptors threw water bottles and other objects at police during several demonstrations following the death of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

"President Trump is exactly right—we have to get tough, and we have to draw the line," said Loeffler. "If we’re going to be a nation of safety and security, we must be unified in our commitment to ending the senseless violence against law enforcement officers once and for all.”
