No need for death penalty law

Based on Natural Law, a State has no right to kill (execute) its own citizens. So capital punishment—death penalty—is immoral, illegal.

It is an irony that a bill is being debated on this issue by our lawmakers, when our police have already been encouraged (!?) to kill suspected criminals without due process.

So why do we need a law for all the extrajudicial killings happening so freely, with impunity, in our country nowadays?
