Those killers will need to be more bought in, e.g. gang members, cartel militias, etc, with enough power to completely overwhelm govt aligned gangs (like the police)

    What does 'life sentence' mean to a terminally ill cancer patient who has been fucked over by the system their entire life and is outraged by the latest instance of unpunished police brutality in their community? Sooner or later someone is gonna say fuck it and take out a cop on paid leave with a drone. When that starts to happen enough law enforcement will have to make a tough call because maybe their members will be safer in jail after they've committed crimes instead of walking free on the streets.
