here's a thought. the government shouldn't have the right to execute anyone

[marlbororeds100s-deactivated202]

it's obvious that the death penalty allows for police and politicians to not just disproportionately lock up but literally murder people of color, especially black men. and it's obvious that there are tons of flaws in our judicial system and how cases are handled by the police and in courts, and that again people of color experience those flaws much more frequently and at worse degrees. and even from an economic perspective choosing to executing 1 person costs more than sentencing them to life in prison (which i don't support either btw).

but even without all this, the government should not have the right to fucking kill people, whether or not they committed a crime. even if that crime was murder. the united states is one of 53 countries that still practice the death penalty.

like i just don't understand how this is a debate. it's an archaic and barbaric practice that shouldn't fucking exist
