You’re 100% right. The supreme Court ruled on the duty to protect and on qualified immunity, the only way the state could get a verdict is if it’s very narrowly tailored to either “extremely egregious and inhumane behavior” or for “stopping the parents”. There’s no other way for a judge to make a guilty verdict and at the same time make it appeal-proof to some degree.
And we just gotta hope and pray this gets through and doesn’t get overturned.
Which is the only legal remedy you’ll ever get against qualified immunity btw. There has to be a specific procedure for this that has been unmistakenly violated.
So let me get this straight, it’s not bribery because they had written contracts and it was afterwards? So if I let an official make investments into my company on behalf of me and I gave him money for it, it’s only a problem if I gave him money before or I had no contract to show for it.
That is such a bonkers distinction I really wanna see how the fuck they define if the contract for the legal bribery is sufficient or not. Does it need a stamp? What the fuck
As a German, the contrast in education and training for police is unfathomable. Yes, we still have a problem with some cops being Nazis, but cops don’t kill people because “I was scared” here. They usually kill them after an act of terrorism that killed a lot more people, or if they had a standoff for like 2h and the guy has a gun.
Which absolutely is the better way.
But ofc, banning guns is really helpful in the first place, because wouldn’t you know, banning a killing device rapidly decreases the amount of killings. Funny how that works. I would even argue it’s cause and effect and not just coincidental.
I wanna see the evidence and the law in this case
This is gonna be interesting af
Free education? Hell yeah brother!
Yeah been following the rust cases closely.
Kari Morrissey was the one who secured the conviction for Hannah Gutierrez Reid.
Important things to note for Alec Baldwin’s case: he’s got more money and resources for his defense. There’s a bunch of high class attorneys that entered appearance for Baldwin. But he has 2 major problems: those attorneys are not from new Mexico. A good lawyer knows the law and a great lawyer knows the judge. Additionally, he is known for being bad at safety and security. That was already becoming clear in HGR’s trial. But legally things are bad as well: he held the weapon. Now in other states that doesn’t make him more culpable than HGR, but in new Mexico basically everyone holding a weapon is held accountable for the consequences of whatever they do while holding the weapon. This, together with what I would predict are looking like pretty bad facts for him rn, is an indication that he has a steep climb to make, unless Morrissey fucks up in a major way.
How the f do you even start killing people for this? I mean the PR crisis that follows an assassination makes everything way worse doesn’t it?
Having stakes in a conflict really tints your perspective even for those respectable organizations… That’s annoying.
I noticed the same with aljazeera. They are regarded as really good neutral journalists on a whole list of topics. I honestly didn’t expect a very foreign news organization to have such nuanced takes, but they consistently made a better job in their reporting than a lot of US or EU journalists. But when it came to something they are involved in, you can see their neutral reporting slowly decay - it’s sad to watch.
whistleblower documents
Usually that stuff is not released for the benefit of the state, but against the state. And I really hope he realizes he just put children in the crossfire of a political debate that has become very extreme and heated.
Sorry but even with his policies in mind, this is more than neglectful for the children’s safety. What the fuck.
Good.
I didn’t expect this strong and transparent sign of opposition, but now that it’s there, I like it.
I know people will have much more radical stances on this, but it doesn’t sound like that Title IX is limited to discrimination of biological gender only. It looks to me like they were trying to aim higher, for discrimination in general. At least if I get the jist of the Title. That would make this ruling legally questionable as well. This raises more issues because in case of intentionality this might become a separation of powers issues where the judicial branch is trying to make a law something that it isn’t, therefore acting in the role of the legislative branch. That’s some serious shit.
I’m saying this because obviously morally this is repulsive already, but I wanted to show that legally there’s some shaky stuff going on as well imo.
Obligatory IANAL.
Famous enough that there’s a steady fan base listening to my music (a thousand people internationally sounds great to me) but nothing more than that. I want that genuine fandom, where people actually enjoy being in a niche and no one stalks you and generally people don’t know you wherever you go.
Not even for the money, but just to feel appreciated and to know I have a positive impact on people, that’s all I want.
If it’s only the two extremes? Yeah I’m totally cool with a quiet life.
Damn thank you so much for finding the links and even a subtitled version :D
Fucking hell man I hope your brain spared you all of the PTSD quirks after that…
Btw random fact: it turned out that the reason his Long-Form birth certificate was looking photoshopped was printer error.
I saw that in a really awesome talk of a big data scientist who found the printer issue and gave a talk about his story and the journey to get it fixed. His name is David Kriesel if you wanna look him up, but the talk’s in German.
Lol
There’s plenty of people who want that sort of discussion on Lemmy.
Btw there’s legit uses for the “dark web”. Getting crucial drugs that are illegal (e.g. opioids against PTSD, maybe even abortion drugs soon), communication channels for politically targeted people and more.
And obviously especially when it is so co controversial, that is even more of a reason for a public discussion forum about it. Lemmy is all about different perspectives, so that fits perfectly.
Straight banger
It’s devastating that this is one of only a few times cops might actually be held accountable.
