Dr. Cat London FTW this morning. She’s running against Susan Collins in the 2020 Maine senate race.
Ouch.
Sounds like Ann keeps her doctors even busier than we thought?!! . . .
She is a despicable person
What if there is a good guy with a gun? Well, if he's black, he gets murdered by the cops when they arrive.
Suburban Chicago security guard was killed by police while 'doing his job,' lawyer says
The Second Amendment is a white right.
This case is still being investigated and not every word uttered by a tort lawyer is gospel. But it appears to be a tragic accident, a not unusual thing in a chaotic situation.
But only an imbecile or legal ignoramus would call it murder.
The cops killed the security guard and, by that account, it was unjustified, ergo it seems to have been murder.
Murder is a legal definition, dead bird. It requires among other things, deliberation and intent. There is no hint of that here.
How about criminally negligent homicide or manslaughter then? Police should have a basic level of competency and we will have to see if this officer's action clear that ridiculously low bar.
Manslaughter is a possibility, but a story based solely on a claim by an attorney seeking a million dollar settlement just might be worth investigating before we write the check. Cops have two seconds to make decisions that courts then debate for 20 years. They can and do make honest mistakes — that doesn't make them murderers.
There's a legal definition of murder, but most people aren't talking about the legal definition when they call something murder. If I say a cop is a murderer, I mean they killed someone and it wasn't justified, not that they're legally liable for being charged with murder.
Lots of people join lynch mobs, too. That doesn't make it right. Accusing cops of murder without a shred of evidence is just ignorant bigotry.
Ok, so, first of all, language is based on usage, so most people using murder to mean unjustified killing does make that a correct definition. Second of all, we do have evidence. Third of all, accusing cops of murder isn't in any way similar to lynch mobs. Finally, it's not ignorant bigotry to think a cop who shot someone murdered that person. Cops have a tendency to do that.
You ain't got no evidence, liar. You got a short blurb based on a tort lawyer's claims. And, yes your lynch mob mentality is ignorant bigotry. I suppose by your logic the fact that people use the n- word a lot makes that okay? By your logic, the california shooter was a hero and the cop who died trying to save those people's lives was a murderer.
Remember the law of holes, idiot, and stop digging.
Given what's said in that, there's plenty of testimony, which is, in fact, evidence.
How is calling a cop who killed someone a murderer "lynch mob mentality"? I'm genuinely curious how you justify this.
By my logic, that people use the n-word as a slur makes it a slur, just like how people using murder not in the strictly legal sense means that murder doesn't only mean the crime, because use dictates meaning.
You are the one who didn't read the article, ajb. It is basedc on a lawsuit filed by, who else, a tort lawyer and based almost wholly on that lawyer's claim s. A lawyer who files a suit claiming d amages because of a tort is, ips o facto a tort lawyer. And sometimes the facts are a little more complicated that the lawyer for one side claims.
Perhaps you really should read the article. This is direct evidence it happened and it was not justified. A witness says that the cop came in to a security guard who had the shooter pinned down, the cop drew his weapon, the people in the bar yelled at the cop that he's security, the cop shot the security guard. That's a witness speaking, not a lawyer. That is evidence.
V, Please read the article. It isn't based on "a tort lawyer's claims."
V. All that reporting by WGN and WLS wasn't pulled from the lawsuit.
Bonus points: WGN and WLS are acronyms for what?
For ajb: don't recall what WGN stands, or stood, for. WLS was world's largest store, because it was owned at one time by Sears, Roebuck.
Absolutely, and Packing While Black is a capital offense punishable by summary execution.
Are black people permitted to use the "stand your ground" law?
Good Guy with a Gun
