I expect this to have broad bipartisan support and to pass with little opposition.

And we could hope the Supreme Court would look out for us, but, well…

Just fully stealing this entire comment from @[email protected]:

I’m not just glad this was finally put right but also-

In her findings, Judge Armitage found that Rolfe made a “series of flawed decisions” that led to “officer-induced jeopardy” - a situation where police “needlessly put themselves in danger… creating a situation that justifies the use of deadly force”.

She also said Rolfe - a former soldier - found combat situations “exhilarating” and had an “attraction to adrenalin policing”. He had also ignored an arrest plan for Walker created by a female officer because he “thought he knew better”, Judge Armitage said.

We can finally start to well… police, police being adrenalin junkies and deliberately putting themselves in harms way.

Is verbal harassment of police and such even a thing? What if he did shout ‘fucking pigs’ or whatever while he was videoing? To me that would change nothing - but would it?

provide evidence either way, but if this just is their typical Baghdad Bob propaganda, I

You don’t say.

How the hell is it only 83% of Democrats?

IRL an opener like that receiving a response like that would probably be a sign that these two people are absolutely made for each other, IMO. They’d probably be a fantastic couple and wind up growing old together.

But are they … ignoring the voices of progressives like Mamdani, Sanders, and AOC?

Almost certainly.

They are already proving the rule of law they claim to adore means nothing to them on many fronts, and on this specific topic of Mamdani have already gone from 0-100. When a court blocks their attempt to revoke his citizenship, then what? “Accidental” ICE abduction I guess, but that might be a little risky even for them with such a high profile and beloved politician.

Heh. Prior to this year I could not have believe such a thing was even possible. But this year…

These motherfuckers never even learned what a prefix was in 4th grade.

Once someone’s reading comprehension gate slams one direction in these conversations it’s hard to get it to flip the other way sometimes. I also tried, but I expect he’ll tell me to fuck off next or something.

Oh well. Thank you for also trying!

So you don’t think those people would benefit the most from those programs?

Don’t put words in my mouth my post was clear.

Well, I didn’t, but OK.

You got me on McGovern!

the poorest most easily manipulated people

The people who would benefit the most from Democrat-championed social programs that they now label as “radical” and “socialist” you mean?*

*Which is not some blanket endorsement of Democrats. A lot of them are also out of touch, too conservative, and still trying to run the country like it’s 1952. I’m eagerly awaiting the rise of a viable 3rd party (but after all these decades I’m not really holding my breath) or the implosion of the Democrats. I was aghast that Trump somehow pulled them right instead of left, but maybe it will result in an implosion from which Bernie, AOC, Jasmine Crockett and such can bring a phoenix out of the ashes.

LOL I skipped right over that bit.
