I watched a good portion of it. Seemed to me he did well. From my perspective it seemed like his lawyers instructed him well.
Good for you. FWIW, I'm not overly impressed with the prosecution. It looks like he was overcharged...kind of like Zimmerman.
The prosecution tried some shady shit and I’m glad the judge called him on it. Also the guy looks like Anders from NuBSG. Just wanted to point that out.
Whatever you might think of Reason, but I think this is worth a read. https://reason.com/2021/11/10/kyle-...osha-wisconsin-thomas-binger-bruce-schroeder/
It depends on whose ox is getting gored. There are those on the left who have been arguing against prosecutorial immunity for the last decade. The same issue doesn’t register for those on the right because they want to be seen as supporters of law and order. But I find it funny that Jessie Watters and Jeanine Pirro were yelling at the audience about how they thought the prosecutors were out of line. If it was a BLM or Antifa activist on trial they would never act that way. I think the far right’s unquestioning support for this dopey kid is problematic. There is this creepy white savior complex that views urban areas as gangland war zones.
You are absolutely talking about a completely different case - one which has absolutely nothing to do with Kyle Rittenhouse.
Except Kenosha is predominantly white and middle class. The prosecution definitely needs to bring up that most of the violence last summer has been proven to be perpetrated by right wing assholes trying to undermine the message of BLM. And those people have been prosecuted. Rittenhouse is no different than any of those others.
We definitely can't have influential black people speaking up against white people murdering doing nothing at wrong against black people.
In case you were wondering how the people of Kenosha feel about racial injustice … Yes, I know the last pic has the words photoshopped on the sign, but the pic is directly off the Bradford church’s website. Bradford Church made the photoshopped pic.
Also, this is another reason I suspect the violence in Kenosha last summer was because most Right Wing assholes despise the UU church. Which is what Bradford is.
MLK said this: The problem these days is folk like FF think they have it worse than the coloured folk. So they get to storm the Capitol. I've highlighted the relevant sentence for him, but he'll doubtless ignore it.
Naww, son. I wouldn't ask you to work with the materials I think you have in that noggin. Houses built on sand, and all that.
Body and dash cameras have their limitations, some of them legal, but they're better than nothing. For instance, State law says that the only person in my Jurisdiction that can release 1) The identity of a victim of domestic violence, 2) Someone for whom I have granted Youthful Offender status, and 3) Someone under 18 years old is, well, me. The police are not authorized to release that information unless or until I say it's okay. And, I can tell you now, I'm never going to authorize it. There's to much liability for victims and defendants even if I have absolute judicial immunity in releasing it.
There's absolutely no reason that on duty cops should be able to turn their body cams off. Keep recording everything, have it streamed to secure servers.
