Even better.

 

Jeez when was this published ? Today?? Hope not.

 

All I know about it is what you see. I would hope people would be too aware to publish it today... but you know as well as I do that many are not.

 

Not a speed trap, a race trap: Black Virginians say they’ve been racially profiled in and around Windsor for decades

Train, prepare, and furnish your "peace officers" as if the country is a warzone and then be surprised when they turn the country into a warzone.

 

Even Fox is televising the closing arguments in the Derek Chauvin trial

 

As an academic exercise, would the ACLU publicly take issue with the judges’ denial of the change venue and the fact that the prosecution was overtly using race as an issue in selecting a jury. In a jurisdiction that is 83% and 40% white male, 6 of the 12 jurors are a racial minority and only 2 jurors are white males, as is the defendant. IF the defendant were black male and only 2 of12 jurors was a black male, would there have been media, activist or legal issue?

A defendant is entitled to a jury of his peers. Only the jury pool needs to be fairly reflective of the jurisdiction. The prosecution, activists and community aren’t entitled to a jury that reflects the demographics of the community or is representative of the victim. The ACLU, whose membership is disproportionately Jewish and whose funding comes disproportionately fromJewish donors, has never been shy about representing Nazis, actual and wannabe. But they are deadly silent when certain defendants are on trial.

 

Fucker is a pretty snappy dresser for a cop

 

Prosecutor ended his first closing argument with this line:

"You can believe your eyes."​

... which is pretty much the perfect bookend to the line Donald Williams used:

" ... Like the fish in the bag."​

But more important, "You can believe your eyes" is the perfect line to kill the Trumpian Orwell era and should be said a lot more right now.

 

I’ve nicknamed the defense attorney Lyin’ Reynolds.

 

In which I call your attention to the Orwell quote in my sig.
