So the right to life is a human construct? That means that it is totally okay for the police to shoot everyone they don't like.
Rights are not a human construct; they are inalienable, given by a Creator, and we will be accountable to Him for stepping on the rights of others, and He expects us to do what we can to preserve the rights of others as well.

No, it doesn't. Language is a human construct,¹ and yet there's yaught bleep mÜOL87 øō°0o. So something being a human construct doesn't mean you can safely ignore it.
But, aren't human police bound by/to human constructs?
I've always wondered why the "Him", "He", turns "Cap H Christians" do it out of respect, not grammar. I've been reading about Haile Selassie, often referred to as "HIM" or His Imperial Majesty.

there's what people can do, and the consequences of it. rights are just a statement about consequences, but just a statement, which is why cops don't have the right to kill without consequences, but in practice they kill without consequences.

¹: Esperanto, at least, is a human construct.

I'm not sure that word means what you think it means.

Okay, do you have a point?
Are you saying we should just throw rights out the window?
