What wasn’t an option? Police were called on trespassing for years before Covid ever existed You can disagree with owners calling police to remove people who won’t leave, but there’s nothing wrong with itThis never was an option until the city/state of New York came up with these vaccine passports. If cops and businesses never had to worry about these things 2 years ago, why do it now?
Look, you can come on here and throw out every hypothetical situation you want, I've already made my case that there is a time for cops to be involved and a time when they need to let people work things out on their own.
This ruling should be thrown in with Plessy v Ferguson and Dred Scott. The SCOTUS simply got it wrong.Deputizing gone wild: Federal task forces give state and local cops ridiculously broad immunity
Another fringe benefit is even more valuable: legal immunity from constitutional lawsuits.
No consequences = no justice
But in 1982, the U.S. Supreme Court created the doctrine of “qualified immunity,” which protects all local, state and federal government employees from legal liability, unless they violated a “clearly established” right, a requirement that often means finding a precedent with practically identical facts.
You can’t see past your nose.
1. Those states legalized pot only and thought it would be a cash cow so they enacted taxes and fees to the point it made illegal weed cheaper than legal weed.
2. bordering states weed is still illegal
3. There is still a **** ton of money being made by the cartels/gangs on other drugs that are still illegal in those states.
A new study is pouring cold beer on Seattle's soda tax. The study, published in the peer-reviewed journal PLoS ONE, reveals that since the city I call home adopted a soda tax in 2018, residents have swapped out soda and replaced that soda with beer. Pointedly, the study says Seattle's soda tax "induced" consumers to buy more beer.
The suit says Fields went to see Adkins the night she was released from jail to take her some cigarettes and console her. Adkins told Fields she didn’t have money to pay the monitoring fee, but was terrified to go back to the Letcher County Jail. Fields then made flirtatious comments about Adkins’ looks and body and told her he was sure they could “work something out,” according to the suit.
I agree on some cases. I’m not for a mask mandate but private entities can do what they want on their property. Which we’ve discussed before
Whenever cops engage in bad behavior, it can't just be dismissed as "isolated incidents" all of the time. Some times, it shows evidence of a systematic problem.
And here we go with the "vote harder" nonsense.
