Exactly. Same argument as the death penalty, for me. I don't give one solid crap about mass deterrence. I want the individual committing the crime, or who has committed the crime, to be stopped.
And I don't want to face a jury's decision for defending my family. Juries are stupid. They are my peers, after all...

Things like this didn't present a problem for an officer. Officers had a tried and
