National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (and now ICE)

[Kraut783]

In Texas, all police shootings go through a county grand jury after an investigation is completed, either for murder or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The GJ gets a brief of the case/investigation...the Grand Jury members can ask questions of the testifying witnesses or prosecutor presenting the case. The GJ then decides to true bill (indict) or no-bill (not indict).

The case cannot go back to the GJ indictment process , unless new evidence is found and presented.

This is really bad rhetoric.

Vanished.

Vanished.

Looks like I found another one for now, 3 hour stream of the NFAC in Lafayette, Louisiana.

"All Black "NFAC" Militia gathers in Lafayette, Louisiana"

Their leader starts talking at 1:15.

Meanwhile in Minneapolis....

As Carjackings Climb In Minneapolis, Ages Of Offenders Are Dropping

Then Monday morning, three boys no older than 16 years old died after crashing in a car near that police say was carjacked a day earlier.

Minneapolis police typically label the crimes as auto thefts or robberies in their reports, but a spokesman tells WCCO carjackings have happened so much this year that they’ll now categorize them as a “carjacking” in their reports to better track them.

So, how do we remove civil liability protections from prosecutors?

This is stupid.

St. Louis couple indicted for waving guns at protesters

The DA wanted to make an example out of the couple by the way and get them to accept a plea deal.

 

[Kraut783]

Thought the state AG was going to squash that?

Shame in my opinion. How do you handle a raging group in front of your house? Brownies???

Yes.

To a point.

Was there any precedent to believe that the group (raging?) was going to attempt to enter their home on camera and in the middle of the afternoon to cause them harm?

No.

Those two with their buffoonish posing did nothing but cause undue tension; especially the way she kept sweeping the crowd.

Don't really need to rehash this one, as I've a few posts on this. Under Missouri's castle doctrine your lawn falls under it and there is also no duty to retreat.

So then we add to the numerous nights of violence and arson that preceded that harassment and intimidation within a private neighborhood I'm siding with the home owner. For example- Photos: 4 Police officers shot, buildings looted, fires set in downtown St. Louis riot

...sigh...

The guy in this video lost me when he suggested that the police tampered with her weapon just to charge her; his referencing Joseph Goebbels sealed the deal.

if there were as many conspiracies around ever corner as the internet tends to believe, they’d have to come up with a new definition of the term.

Crime lab admits they tampered with the pistol to make it functional. It was a prop, and the AR was unloaded.

Agreed, they had no duty to retreat. However, they were not in danger of great bodily harm at that time, and they came out of their home to engage these people.

How could you possibly know this?

I missed the memo that said tresspassing is a reasonable reason to fear for your life in the middle of an afternoon. Again, they left their house to engage these people....they were looking for trouble; of course they were charged.

Had this group of protesters started banging on their windows or tried to enter their home, sure....engage. But this was just silly theatrics and they end up looking like the d-bags who go to Starbucks or Chipotle in full kit....because they can.

To be clear, I don’t want to see them charged for anything, it will set precedent for future cases, but they used zero common sense and failed situational awareness 101

Antagonizing vs defending, I get what you are saying. By all means arm up but you don't need to escalate a situation before anything happens directly to you.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

LOL. 100%

I lost track of my post, obviously didn’t mean to word it that way; thanks for catching it.

Looking for work? get into security. Demand is extremely high in the affluent regions within the metropolitan areas. I get regular calls for security and protection details from around the nation. As Police forces are defunded, reduced and crime is rising, the wealthy and powerful among us are contracting for protection. Ask around and stay in the loop with companies and groups in your areas. Most are looking for retired Police personnel. Business I anticipate will boom after the election whomever wins. It will be a windfall for the qualified as the body count rises. Private security is growing rapidly. I encourage you to get your state Guard cards and firearms qualifications in order now before the election.
