USA - President Trump demands death penalty for cop killers.

President Trump demands death penalty for cop killers. Trump renewed his call for those who kill police officers to get the death penalty during a speech to law enforcement officers in Florida. "Reducing crime begins with respecting law enforcement," Trump said. “We believe that criminals who kill our police officers should immediately, with trial, but rapidly as possible, not 15 years later, 20 years later - get the death penalty." The president has issued that call before and even vowed during the campaign to pursue a related executive order, which he has yet to do. But the comments come toward the end of what has been an especially deadly year for law enforcement. Already, 43 officers have been fatally shot, nearing the 2017 total of 45 gunfire-related deaths. Trump spoke at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Annual Convention in Orlando.
