And the huge list of people executed by the state despite it being reasonably likely they're actually innocent is... cheaper (it's not), and therefore acceptable?

Absolutely not. I've been bullied into a false conviction myself. The reason why is that they absolutely do not give a single fuck about the people they're ruining. Even the slightest bit of interest in being right from the court system and police would be a massive improvement for everyone. If suggest training if the problem was stupidity, but it's malice. They know what the fuck they're doing.

Which is why you... support the death penalty? Am I misunderstanding something here?

I'm just putting it above imprisonment. I think that if you believe someone needs punished so badly, you should have the conviction to kill them because otherwise you're just making things worse for everyone. The issue at hand is that nobody has conviction anymore. What they have is blind rage and not enough time or resources to figure out where to put that because we're all kept busy by the people farming us and controlling the story. Things like petty theft wouldn't matter if our economic value weren't skimmed by employers so ridiculously.
