Yeah, like I said, I don’t see him walking scott-free; not with the footage and the fact that murder IS a state charge. That governor doesn’t want even more civil unrest.
Also, that Kenohsa sheriff needs to be fired along with the majority of his department.
For the next three years anyway. Depends on the knee-jerk reaction to the riots. Hard to imagine people longing for another Scott Walker, but who knows.
I don’t even understand the ruling. If a police officer is beating someone, and they yell “Press!” then the police need to stop beating that person - even if they are lying. The weight of ambiguity should fall on not beating members of the press, even if that means occasionally accidentally not beating someone who isn’t press.
I mean, WTF country do 2 out of 3 of these judges live in!?!
from the article: “We’re getting so many calls, and they’re saying that the Punisher logo [means] we’re out to kill people, and that’s not the meaning behind that
Cops are NOT punishers. FULL STOP.
This is not F*king Judge Dredd FFS!
What a miserable, tone-deaf move to use that logo now.
FTP!
It’s absolutely sickening seeing how the right is putting this guy on a pedestal as some sort of hero. I was watching CNN this morning and the coverage of how he’s being propped up by Fox News and various high profile Republicans - and that he has a crowdfunding page bringing in thousands of dollars. It filled me with rage.
This guy is a fucking murderer. Full stop. He brought a loaded gun to a protest knowing full well what would happen. When the inevitable happened he used this as an excuse to kill two people and seriously injure another. And now he has the nerve to declare self defense. Even if he was being “attacked”, he instigated it to begin with! Where’s the right to “self defense” for the protesters that were being shot at by a fucking agitator?
