Cops: No Snarky Nor Positive Title

The way these kinds of things will end is to hold law enforcement officers to the exact same standards we'd hold anyone else to when shots are fired. No qualified immunity, no spurious "reasonable fear for my safety" arguments. If you fire a weapon, you better be able to clearly show you are living on the right side of the law, AND had a reasonable belief to think your life was in danger.

This. There is zero accountability for cowboy cops right now. Might as well shoot 'em up and deal with it later, because very few DAs will have the balls to hold you truly accountable for maiming or killing anyone as long as you're wearing your little tin star.

Yes. If anything cops should be held to a much higher standard than the average citizen because they are trained and given the ability to take away our liberties. Instead though we hold them to about the lowest standard possible. It is bass akwards.

Completely backwards. For years cops wanted to have their jobs considered a "profession" yet they never seem to want to be held to professional and ethical standards that plenty of other professions expect people to adhere to. If that ever changes (and they abolish police unions) I might start to rediscover the respect I used to have for cops. I know my idiotic rhetoric here doesn't make it seem possible, but I used to be a fairly vocal cop supporter. They changed for the most part, I didn't.

I will never understand the gun fondlers and ammosexuals of the world who need to stockpile so many firearms. Unless they are collectibles and antiques. Do you really need 10 or 20 different kind of guns to hunt with? Growing up my household had 2 long guns, a muzzle loader my dad hunted with near home, and a common 30-06 rifle he deer-hunted with in northern Michigan. I'm not a hunter, so maybe there is a logical answer to hunters owning so many different kinds of firearms.

Eh. I'm not a gun guy, but I get collectors.

I don't need the 15 guitars and basses I have, but yes the **** I do.

This is a different kind of collecting, though. They have those weapons because they are paranoid. They aren't collector pieces. This is at best hoarding, and more likely they are cosplaying Jesustard ISIS.
 
I admit I didn't read the article. Unless you're moving from state to state, it's really not that difficult to stay current with licensure once legally acquired, so I have little sympathy for those who end up arrested.

But whether it's some rare show-piece gun, "just another" handgun or a fancy new AR-platform weapon, I just can't bring myself to crap on collectors. Even collectors of things I do not get, like guns.


Like I said - I have a lot of basses. None of them are showy. They're all boring, utilitarian basses, none of which cost more than $1500.
 
Gun collectors are a thing, but I would say ever since Ruby/Waco and with almost everyone in America now having Internet access, there have been an ever-growing number of radicalized nutballs who believe they are stockpiling for CW2/The End Times.
 
Yeah, it probably is over. Motions like this aren't unusual; it would be unusual for it to be granted.

You folks also have to get a better handle on the whole civil vs. criminal liability piece.

But since your Thought Leader got confused a few pages ago on this issue, and clearly doesn't grasp the difference, I don't expect most of you to get it, either.

If you think you're PO'ed now, just wait & see how the Chauvin-Floyd thing goes down in MN ...

I read the whole complaint. I don't think it is going to work but I find their position to be rather creative. They are basically saying Cameron threw the GJ under the bus at the press conference and because of that and the outcry over the non-indictments the court owes it to the people to allow them to see the whole truth. It would appear they didn't like that McConnell's stooge sidestepped all responsibility and blamed them. Even brought up that could lead people to judge the GJ unfairly in light of what is going on. (IIRC)

Again it won't work (at least not in full, I believe some of the transcript is being released) but I think whoever came up with the argument did a solid job. I await unofan's thoughts. :-)
 
Chuckles, finding pleasure in cops killing black people and facing no penalty, to own the libs.

Sad. But, it is what it is.

Old people need to find new hobbies. :(:(

There's no "pleasure" in seeing anyone get killed, you virtue-signaling dickwad poseur.

Glad you'll be seeking new hobbies. Understanding the law would be a good place to start ...

You're tilting at windmills, but:

It's over criminally, it's over civilly (the family of the murdered Taylor settled with the police), but it's definitely not over in the media or the minds of millions of people. Nor should it be.

Actually it doesn't have to be over criminally. A prosecutor can still bring charges. They won't but they can.

Poor Chuckles...his insults always sound better in the original Russian.
