"Excessive force," by definition, is ALWAYS unnecessary and uncalled for. If force was appropriate, it wouldn't be called excessive.

Also, an annual reminder that "speed" IS a "rate" (d/t). No need to say "rate of speed" unless you mean a derivative.

The Democrats should begin building a case for law and order -- for restoring the equal and moral administration of justice. Do it now, as Trump’s power grab reaches a tipping point. Promise to hold accountable anyone tempted to break the law in his name.

Another example of Stephen Zappala's incompetence costing lives and money. This is enough to fund an attorney position in my office for half a decade. triblive.com/local/allegh...

Two men accused of homicide and facing a potential death sentence if convicted are asking the Pa. Supreme Court to restrict Washington County DA Jason Walsh's pursuit of the death penalty, accusing him of misusing it to pressure defendants into guilty pleas or get them to turn state's evidence.

“D.A. Walsh has abused his power,” Marc Bookman, the center’s executive director, said in a statement. “He is using the death penalty as a political tool and a cruel threat to coerce people into giving up their constitutional rights under a wrongful threat of death.

On this date in 2016:

Days after a cop shot and killed Philando Castile in front of his daughter, thousands of demonstrators stormed I-94. Minnesota Police responded by attacking protesters and journalists:

Our president was voted in by the people who comment on Facebook ads and we got what we deserved.

A fascist state looks like a duly elected Senator being manhandled by police for questioning executive abuse of power.

Not surprising considering the instigation and escalation of violence we’ve seen from ICE and DHS in Los Angeles. The people deserve better.

SOS! the volunteers on 'Madleen' have been kidnapped by Israeli forces.

Greta Thunberg is a Swedish citizen.

This is the kind of damage that an administration can do in a short time that can't be fixed for many decades, even with subsequent acceptable leadership. Resist.

Since the AG doesn't seem to be getting ethics guidance from her team these days, I wanted to make sure she has the rule in the Justice Manual in front of her, which expressly prohibits this.

🚨ICE ALERT 🚨

If you see this vehicle or these two individuals, they are ICE agents and they disappeared two individuals at the Pittsburgh Municipal Courthouse today after refusing to show their attorneys a warrant.

Reporting ICE is community safety.

This admin is taking its lead from Jim Crow and calling for the removal of “illegal” diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility from schools.

Just because Secretary McMahon doesn't know something doesn't mean students across America should be deprived of learning history.

My latest for @theappeal.org:

James Carver spent 36 years in prison after he was convicted of setting one of the deadliest fires in #Massachusetts history. But after reviewing new scientific evidence, a judge set him free.

“They took my life away for nothing,” Carver said.

Jesus.
