Just saw a horrendous video of a cop in AZ shooting a man in a wheelchair who was moving away from him in the back, unloading basically the entire magazine.

Dont recommend looking it up.

The cop shooting INTO THE STORE at him is so reckless too

Against the covid mandates and the "elites" who "squashed" great ideas during the pandemic. Also "Pennsylvania needs a conservative who will put America first, one who could reignite our divine spark," whatever that means.

Wouldnt that someone have to be a God of some sort? If humans can ignite a divine spark then its not very divine

LMAO I love how immediately after he says slavery was never based on race he starts describing the creation and legal enshrinement of racism that was invented to justify slavery. Absolutely unreal mental gymnastics on display.

i love how he says that we recognized that slavery ran counter to the Bill of Rights so we ended it.

I think it was a lot more contentious than that!

Typically when crimes involve multiple states they become federal jurisdiction which is seen as more serious

Look, here's the thing. I don't like Rittenhouse as a person. But if you can one or two things and instead of a white kid he was a black kid and he was there protecting a business and someone threatened to kill him and he shot the same white person I'd want that kid to walk too based off the law.

I think its clear that if Rittenhouse was black he would be found guilty, and thats where some chunk of the outrage stems from

But the solution is not two wrongs to make a right

It was absolutely a premeditated coup attempt and if you seriously think otherwise you've got your head in the sand.

I don't think psychopathy has an agreed to clinical definition by any major organization.

The way I always used/understood it was sociopaths were those who basically lacked the ability to feel empathy. Usually you'd see it manifest as a lack of conscience and they could identify societal rules and use their corresponding lack of shame/remorse to take advantage of that in ways most people would be unable to emotionally but hypothetically you could still be a "good" person it's just not how it tends to be portrayed.

Whereas I thought of psychopathy as what most people tend to think of when they think of the extremely negative stereotypes of mentally ill people - basically a person whose condition(s) causes them to react unpredictably and often violent.

but then i am one of those laypeople so i could just be dumb

I look at it as sociopaths are unable to internalize morality, psychopaths understand morality but dont care

Oh, no argument that prosecutors in America (and from what I know we're not alone) are very, very often not good.

That's a very rotten branch on a criminal justice system in this country that is already deeply screwed up.

What are you even specifically saying is wrong with the overall system in this case, though? Because I don't see how outlining the case as it has proceeded is really a counterpoint to it in any way.

Not guilty != being a good person.

I think a lot of the frustration people have is that they want the system to be biased against him the way that it has historically been biased against disadvantaged people and minorities, and theyre expressing it in toxic irrational ways.

The system shouldnt be equally AWFUL for everyone, it should be equally FUNCTIONAL for everyone, but since thats seemingly culturally impossible, its easier to root for corruption to make it equally unfair. Like thats the closest thing to justice that can actually exist.

Its some mixture of cultural pain and indignity, being misled by biased media coverage of the trial, and performative tribalism.

Im on the start of S3 of X-Men. Been a while since I finished S2. Its ok, but so far its not very great. I can see why it was a classic since it was such an early superhero series and for the great X-Men, but it kinda leaves a lot to be desired. I wonder how many of the VAs are still around. 25~ years is long enough that some might have retired or possibly even passed away

This trial is a great example of what happens when you let mob mentality try to dictate how the criminal justice system works. I'm actually surprised the Chauvin trial went down as it did, given how ballsy it was to go after a murder charge instead of the more appropriate manslaughter, but I think the people involved in that trial were more concerned about more riots than they were about laying appropriate charges.

Could you please look into what the charges he was convicted of mean in Minnesota instead of spouting ignorance? Thanks

This. Or as I phrased it last week:

Because it will take next to no effort to justify self defense in any manner of circumstances.

So we can agree that the law allows for this type of situation to occur and I can still consider this to be a tragedy that should not have occurred.

You dont have to totally justify self defense really. You just have to provide reasonable doubt that it wasnt.

No, a unions purpose is to protect workers from management.

The reason unions dont work for police is that the management are other cops who already provide protection for their guys, aka The Thin Blue Line.

Its a totally different dynamic, and why Unions are good but police Unions are not.

Yeah its not really a labor union. Their ACTUAL management is supposed to be the will of the public.

Again, the only reason these things happen is because police are not accountable to anyone, and corrupt labour unions are to blame. Why do police need a union? The only purpose a union serves in 2021 is to make sure that none of their members ever have to face any personal responsibility, so you can see how adding this to the occupation that is supposed to protect and serve will cause major ramifications if left unchecked.

Eliminate police unions and suddenly cops have personal responsiblity again. Enforce body cameras to make sure they are behaving appropriately, and it will serve both the purpose of protecting citizens, but also protecting the police against bogus claims. It is literally win-win, and cops will benefit from never having to give part of their paycheque up to a bunch of corrupt jerk union reps

Who enforces body cameras in this scenario? The police?

Seriously, you would never expect a group of barely educated people making a living explaining spelling and simple addition, with 3 months a year off, making a solid upper middle class wage, to be also the biggest group of crybabies in society

Ignoring everything else thats incredibly patronizing here, do you not believe teachers exist past like 2nd grade?
