Two of the officers I've identified as under investigation shot and killed Christopher DeAndre Mitchell, a Black suspect whose death sparked protests in 2018. D.A. Gascon has hired a special prosecutor to The scandal is also a threat to a hundreds of prosecutions. City and county prosecutors have already had to drop 85 cases where the officers either made an arrest or may have been witnesses. Records show these officers are listed as potential witnesses in 1,400 cases. The whole, "a few bad apples," argument/rationale is getting more and more difficult to buy.

How you can say you believe in Democracy or The Constitution and say you support Trump?
And yet with the Jan 6 rioters, "You are very special! We love you!"

MN v. Potter, Dante Wright taser/gun killing - MANSLAUGHTER, 1ST DEGREE, GUILTY. MANSLAUGHTER, 2ND DEGREE, GUILTY. That's a step in the right direction for a change.

Ahmaud Arbery Murder:
Travis and Greg McMichael sentences: Life without parole plus 20 years.
William Roddie Bryan sentence: Life with possibility of parole plus 20 years (suspended).
Prosecution also requests that none of the defendants make any money or remuneration from book, movie, interview, or social media deals. Judge will take it under advisement after full briefing from the prosecution.

But, at least for today, I'm not horrified by the outcome. That seems like a welcomed change.

Federal civil rights prosecution of McMichaels and Bryant verdicts are in: Guilty on all counts, all defendants. It vindicates Arbery's parents rejection of the plea agreement originally sought by DOJ. Will MAGA GOPers convert them into "heroes and martyrs" for their White supremacist cause? Tuesday’s conviction, after just a couple of hours of jury deliberation, represents a victory for the U.S. Department of Justice, which has vowed to more aggressively prosecute hate crimes, and for civil rights groups that have demanded greater accountability in racially motivated attacks against Blacks and other minorities. www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/02/22/arbery-verdict-hate-crimes/

I can already hear the MAGAts calling the jury out for being "woke."

Every group of folks has its share of crappy people. I don't think the ratio on the two sides is remotely similar. This is just another example of that. There are plenty more, as we all know. Another glowing display from the "rule of law" "Republican" party. Kudos to the officer for doing her job even while being threatened by a person with more power than she. Extra hypocrisy points for the immigration status comment from a man that is an immigrant himself. At least he has a history of being a schmuck. I'd bet that's part of what the "Republicans" like about him and he'll probably get more support after more people see this video. www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/politics/2022/02/23/what-to-know-about-sarasota-congressional-candidate-martin-hyde/6914039001/

I’m a constitutional conservative and that’s why I voted for the shoot protesters exercising their first amendment rights guy.

What are the chances that if it were a bus full of white students that a search would have been asked for? Also, if it were a bus full of white kids, what are the chances anyone on the bus would have granted the search since there was no cause? Just disgusting.
