Totally agree with your perspective, many times the punishments are not truly exemplary and this leads to them being committed again. I am very sorry about the officers who fell in the line of duty. On a certain occasion I heard a phrase that said it is not tragic die doing what you like, but nonetheless, those of us who carry out police duties are human beings just like the rest, with relatives, spouses and children, in a situation of legitimate defense I have never saved anything for another occasion and in a certain aspect for the doctrine of human rights where criminals have more rights than officials invested with authority, has caused me some legal inconveniences but nevertheless I have emerged victorious, a particular case was a complaint that I took in relation to gender violence an individual hit savagely a citizen and in response to that complaint we proceeded to locate the citizen, later located We proceeded to tell him that he was in custody and this citizen took out a bladed weapon and pounced against my humanity saying that he was going to take my life, for which I found myself in the urgent need to activate my regulation weapon 5 times, if there were 5 in the thorax region, the reason this citizen was under psychotropic effects, the process was a bit complicated but in the trial everything was determined favorable despite many inconveniences in the process.
I think people forget this in respect of police officers and first-responders in general. It's quite said.
The subject of punishment and the legal system is a contentious one and there will always be many different opinions. I think it's all subjective as those who have suffered at the hands of a criminal may have a different view than those who have not. It's easy to judge those inside a situation when one is outside of it.
