Yes, I've been saying we need more study of civil-police relations and civilian control of police forces (* yes, police are civilian but drawing an analogy here).
After BLM, Portland OR police, 90% of whom live outside Portland, basically went on informal strike and never came back

It's not an excuse, but it is worth remembering that mayors in most cities very much do not have control over their police departments if the mayor doesn't like something the cops want to do, a phenomenon that would be a red alert civ-mil alarm with the military but something we all accept w/cops

This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

Right. The point is not “it matters extra because it’s a citizen,” the point is “we either hang together or we will all hang separately.”
i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

second degree murder, and specifically depraved heart murder, wherein the accused doesn't actively plan to kill a specific person or people but acts with callous disregard for human life - like firing a gun into a crowd or driving drunk - should apply to decisions made by CEOs and heads of industry
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

It's illegal for the president to relieve student loan debt. It's completely fine for the president to unilaterally decide to have the head of a foreign nation black bagged on foreign soil.

If my client is walking on a "technicality," it's because either the state, their bank, or their landlord BROKE THE LAW and therefore should not win.

And then call them. It takes so few calls, comparatively, to make it feel like a wave crashing over them. We need to be the wave, again and again.

This legislation wouldn't have passed without the Dem's help. 4 GOP voted nay and 3 didn't vote.
The time for complaining about purity tests is over. The first transgender segregation laws are here.
No more excuses.

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

100% agree. Ironically, this is the only version of "broken windows" that actually makes any sense, because it has to do with the individual behavior of one person going from getting away with small crimes to getting away with big crimes, instead of being some vague theory about general contagion.
My hottest take is that letting cops park in red zones for mundane errands and coffee breaks; I think “you can break the law at your discretion as a job perk” is the small domino that ends in the large domino of “shooting protesters in the face with rubber bullets”
It must be wild to get to abuse the public then pay for it with the public's money

Free Luigi Mangione. Whether he is guilty or not (and he's innocent until proven guilty, remember, regardless of whether he did it) the cops did all they could to fit him up, the prosecution has been leaking evidence to the media, the whole case is crooked as fuck. Let the man go.

Remembering a recent post that mentioned “got off on a technicality” is a weasel phrase meant to make “dismissed because cops violated your rights” sound like a bad thing.
11 officers present to arrest Luigi Mangione "for taking 40 minutes to eat his McDonald's meal" including NYPD officers who were far outside jurisdiction and had invited themselves. They can be heard interrupting Altoona police radio to announce they'll be arriving despite being ignored by local PD.
