gewing Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I shouldn't have read that; I'm really angry now. IMO this iThrow the judge and the pes the kind of shit that lead to the creation of "The Punisher." both the judge and the cop sound like they need general population.

massey Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 I shouldn't have read that; I'm really angry now. Well, I glanced at that, and I was mad too. But I looked at another article and it isn't quite as rage-inducing as the linked article made it sound. Molesty cop was still bound over for trial on one of the charges. Likely the kid couldn't give specific enough info on the other two counts. Sounds like the dad couldn't control his temper during the hearing, and continued to yell and cuss even after being told to leave. Now I have no idea who this judge is, or how he is to practice in front of, but most judges give people ample warning before finding them in contempt. Even someone with a legit reason to be angry has to keep their composure in court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 More prosecution abuse of law than anything but as the police help enact it.... it's nice to see someone fighting back Lawmaker calls for new law limiting 'detainment of witnesses' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vondy Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 More prosecution abuse of law than anything but as the police help enact it.... it's nice to see someone fighting back Lawmaker calls for new law limiting 'detainment of witnesses' The DOJ has long used "material witness" rules as heavy-handed means of extorting people into cooperating. Its frequent and egregious enough to be termed "color of law" (IMO). However, the department responsible for prosecuting such abuses is... the DOJ.

Vondy Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Thank you for the correction. Not a correction, really. The only people who can "police" the executive (incl. DOJ) are lawmakers. Your linked article is about a lawmaker raising concerns about how the DOJ (federal prosecutors) are conducting themselves. Of note, the National Security Division prosecutors.

Pattern Ghost Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Interesting commentary on the Mearkle shooting. This is the middle-aged guy that was shot after he was Tased to the ground. I think it was posted upthread. (Markle was the cop, though, not the victim.) I think he's a bit off the mark on number 3, especially considering the officer was alone, but some good points are raised.

csyphrett Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 I saw that. He was captured on film with spray gun in hand aiming it at passing motorcycle riders. One of the riders had a helmet cam. CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 “He’s under arrest, ma’am,” an officer tells her.“Yeah I know — can you, like, keep him under arrest out where he can breathe?” she responds. “He’s been fighting us for like 20 minutes,” an officer says. “Oh you poor baby,” the woman answers.

Ranxerox Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 The South is plagued by these things. Plague... yeah, good choice of words I think. Maybe something along the lines of syphilis. You know, back when the Europeans first encountered it before they had any natural immunity to it, and it raced through populations leaving death and madness in its wake. Yeah, that sort of plague.
