Prosecutors in Illinois want the death penalty for two people accused of killing a police officer. The state doesn’t have the death penalty, but Kankakee County prosecutors are asking for federal murder charges so the death penalty is an opion. Irika Sargent of CBS Chicago station WBBM-TV has more.

  1. Passing a law for the death penalty should not just go for one special kind of career. Lord continue to be with the people. Why the video wasn’t released? Just word of mouth..

  2. If found guilty bring them to the front of the courthouse right after being found guilty and execute them on live tv. Maybe bullet to the back of their heads or hang them. Make sure their families watch as well and make an example of these thugs

  3. I volunteer to pull the lever at their hanging gallows. It's my civic duty, just like jury service.
    I'll even donate the length of piano wire for the task out of pocket.

  4. So why is no one talking about the pregnant lady that the female officer that was killed was attacking when the young man took the gun to defend the pregnant lady? It was only social media that said anything but Brandon Biden Jr censors every one that is not CNN

  5. Public hangings in the town squares, It would be a great opportunity for the hot dog cart owners and local businesses. FJB 48 years of failure
