This is the case where the police union official said that the victim's life had "limited value" - https://publicola.com/2023/09/11/write-a-check-for-11000-she-was-26-she-had-limited-value-spd-officer-jokes-with-police-union-leader-about-killing-of-pedestrian-by-fellow-cop/

The second you say a person's life has limited value, your life becomes limited in value.

Which is exactly why I'm against the death penalty and in favor of legalizing and taxing recreational drugs to fund rehab. I don't care if you're the Dalai Lama or a homeless drug addict, every life has equal value in my eyes.
