This seems like a valid use of mandatory minimums to me.

State actors should be subject to mandatory minimum life sentences for violating the rights of the public.

I’ve always been a proponent of state actors being held to a higher standard like how the UCMJ is an additional judicial code that members of the military have to follow as well as the normal laws.

Isn't life in prison practically taking someone else's life? Would you even need that strong of an incentive to reduce the occurrence?

Punishment does not work as a deterrent.

I propose this as a demonstration by the system that it is willing to respond to violations of the rules by the system. Such violations are inherently more problematic.

Why not?
