Supercops on television are always holding their handguns sideways, too. Life imitates art.

Yes, that did not come out quite as I meant it.
I mean the results of confrontations in the streets during protests.

A coworker who was there last night corroborated the sfgate article. Between this and the CHP firing rubber bullets from a tactical position the other night they're not coming off so well in all of this.

He said before the officers were outed Tuesday, they were able to collect enough information to prevent four more freeway shutdown attempts.

Through his City Council floor leader, Pat O’Connor, and his Corporation Counsel, attorney Steve Patton, Mayor Emanuel has already voiced his reluctance to compensate the survivors who are legally barred from suing the city by the statute of limitations. But in the face of the more than $20 million Chicago has spent defending Burge, Emanuel’s claim that the city is too cash-strapped to make reparations rings hollow.

Here is a story of a lawsuit brought by the family of someone who was mourned in my hometown. Robert Russ was an excellent student and athlete and gave us all hope for our community, and his acceptance at Northwestern inspired a lot of local kids. He spoke at my sister's high school commencement, she knew him.
The community also suffers when they lose an innocent person, and these insensitive people who comment on Facebook or Fox News ought to be reminded of how these shootings hurt an entire community. We could have used a leader like Russ.

marches across the country today--including one here in DC, where organizers from Ferguson had to fight their way to the front and demand a moment at Sharpton's mic. after about 90 seconds they were cut off and removed by security for "not having VIP passes".

Is that in Washington Square Park? Fuck, we should have gone out today. Were talking about it but the only event invite I'd seen made today's activities seem really Anonymous-y and, I dunno, hard to verbalize, but the bad side of a lot of the "eager aggressive white college types joining good causes for the wrong reasons" stuff that's been discussed recently in this thread.

pretty sure I got eliminated from a jury pool this afternoon because I told the judge and attorneys that 'in 2014 it's difficult for me to be impartial' in a case in which a man is charged with resisting arrest without violence.

I filled out my potential juror paperwork recently after they hunted me down and threatened me with whatever they threaten you with. I'm never getting on a jury though.

"Have you ever had a negative interaction with the police?"

Someone on my fb tried to tell me jury nullification is void in New York State for some reason which he's a lawyer so he might be right but he's also a libertarian ie "White men are the REAL victims around here" so I usually assume he's wrong about everything.
― Orson Wellies (in orbit), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 01:48 (nine years ago) link
I'm not really sure how jury nullification could ever be void, I think all it ultimately is is a post hoc description of an outcome not like an identifiable tactic or procedure or whatever
― anonanon, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 02:07 (nine years ago) link
I mean as long as you have a system where juries are required in criminal cases and acquittals are not subject to appeal by the prosecution
