Although we have covered this before ...
fire remains the weapon of choice for killing suspects in standoffs.

I think burning alive should be the punishment for cop killers. Wait, for any killers. +1 for NYPD

Why is that appropriate punishment based upon someones profession?
I am an Electro-Mechanical Designer / Drafter. Don't I deserve to have the person who murders me burned alive also? How about my wife who is a bookkeeper? Are we simply "expendable"? Doesn't this create an elitist victim class based on profession who are more deserving of justice, be it by fire or otherwise, than those deemed not so worthy -- like designers and bookkeepers? I did see your caveat "Wait, for any killers." yet there many who do not think that way.
