Presently cases don’t make it to court because the lawyers wouldn’t win and it would damage their reputation, but if you remove QI lawyers would suddenly stop caring about their reputation and bring frivolous suits on every arrest or ticket?You miss the point...you take away QI those officers can be sued civilly for ANY action, whether it's deemed legal or not..
I pull over Karen for going 75 in a 55, and I write her a ticket for speeding, her lawyer sues me directly not because I did anything wrong or illegal or unconstitutional, but because me pulling her over kept her from making a job interview so she is suing me personally for 175k or what her salary would've been. The threshold for civil suits are much lower than other suits, so my options are:
- Agree to drop the ticket and never pull her over again
- Use 20k$ of my money to defend myself in court and hope it gets dismissed
- Use 20k$ of my money and some lunatic judge or jury feels bad for her so now put on another $200k
This would happen with EVERY SINGLE arrest or ticket by any LEO in any situation, because there is no penalty to try it by defendants and lawyers
Absolutely because the ambulance chasing ones would have nothing to lose - See Ben Crump....you call every police action racist and unconstitutional whether it is or not and convince families to sue and sue and all you have to do is win 1 to make $25 million or force people to settle who can't afford to fightPresently cases don’t make it to court because the lawyers wouldn’t win and it would damage their reputation, but if you remove QI lawyers would suddenly stop caring about their reputation and bring frivolous suits on every arrest or ticket?
what does jurisdiction have to do with anything in this case? Law enforcement has a right to be concerned if a gun is present. You might be right that he was legally in possession, but if he brandished it or threatened them in any way, then he is a ****ing idiot.It’s pretty clear what the point was if you read. He made a comparison to rittenhouse. This guy was within in his rights and ICE has no jurisdiction over him. What’s hard to understand?
Many would argue lack of accountability is the surest sign of an enterprise in decline. It usually starts financially and runs downhill from there.100% agree. I remember a few years ago PD in Lebanon raided a house with a warrant and killed the resident, they had the wrong house. Someone should have went to prison but nothing happened.
It has everything to do with it if he was being illegally detained. He didn’t brandish it. There’s video evidence of an agent pulling it out of his back waistband while on the ground. His hands were visible and never at his waist. Being an idiot doesn’t mean you get executedwhat does jurisdiction have to do with anything in this case?

Do you think all the video is out? Have we heard what the guy said to the officer when he was resisting arrest? Again I will withhold judgement until all the facts are out. You however have already formed an opinion without all the facts and will alter facts as they come out to fit your opinion.
The press conference with law enforcement said it was a defensive shot and the officer feared for his and his fellow officers safety. Guess we will have to wait and see.
Oh they are fantastic questions. That’s why she’s getting pissed on getting called on her blatant lies and misinformation.Because therequestions.
Amazing isn’t it that with body cams and dozens of people filming, people still can’t agree on what happened. People see what they want to see. Same as it ever wasDo we know if LE shot this guy? Could he have shot himself while wrestling for his gun? I can’t see any agents with guns drawn in the only video I have seen.
Anybody have a clearer view?
I simply can’t tell who fired the weapon.
