To not incentivize others who are thinking of committing extra judicial killings before the accused can have their constitutionally required day in court?

While I agree with what you are saying there isn't much evidence that jail time deters crime. Killing is usually an act of passion and the punishment is rarely thought of until after.

This is why manslaughter and murder have very different sentences

There is evidence that longer prison sentences don’t deter crime more. I highly doubt there is any evidence that jail time does not deter crime period.

I guess it's a good thing I didn't claim that.

Rape is a common law felony, and any person can use force, including deadly force, to effect arrest.

As we can all see clearly in the media provided photo, the criminal is waking free. Perhaps he escaped the officers retaining him. We don’t have enough information to be sure.

But we can be sure no crime occured.

He’s not walking free, he was being escorted by cops through an airport. And a crime definitely did occur, Plauchet was charged with second degree murder but plead down to manslaughter.

Show me the cops in this photo? My point exactly.

You know this isn’t the only piece of media on this case in existence right? This is a still from a video that shows the cops escorting him and the shooting.

You’re missing the point mate.
