I'm just saying, I don't think anything is too debased, too beyond-the-pale here.

We're not arguing the case on the merits. No one's saying there's a reasonable defense here; I'm saying the fact that there is no defense doesn't mean they won't walk free anyway.

let's be honest, if george floyd's death hadn't been followed by the massive, nation-wide protests, we wouldn't see the same reactions as we're seeing from those on the right. the protects took the cop's chances of acquittal from about 50% to about 5% (or lower).

just wait until the attorneys ask to change venue to somewhere like idaho or wyoming.

I hope this is true, and maybe the officials there (my previous references) are merely applying this pressure. It seems like common sense that they can't f*ck this one up.

Funeral set Tuesday for slain Grand Forks police officer

The funeral for a slain Grand Forks police officer will be held Tuesday at Ralph Engelstad Arena, a facility that hosts concerts and University of North Dakota hockey games and can house more than 11,000 people.

Officer Cody Holte was killed Wednesday when he came to the assistance of two sheriff's deputies who were serving eviction papers to Salamah Pendleton at his apartment. Pendleton is charged with two counts of murder in the incident in which a woman inside the apartment, Lola Moore, also was fatally shot.

One of the deputies, Cpl. Ron Nord, was shot in the leg and abdomen and was treated at a local hospital and released. Pendleton also was shot and wounded.

Holte, 29, suffered three gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at a hospital. The three-year veteran of the Grand Forks Police Department was the first officer to be killed on-duty in Grand Forks since 1966, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page website. He also was a first lieutenant in the North Dakota Army National Guard. He is survived by a wife and infant son.

Talk about counter productive
But there’s various other reasons for this apart from just overspill from the states.
Grenfell tower fire disaster and two subsequent governments immigration/deportation policies chief among them

see, this is part of the problem. a facility that hosts concerts and University of North Dakota hockey games? really? why? because he had a badge?

we exalt cops and the profession and put them on pedestals like no others save for actors, musicians, and politicians. how many health-care workers that worked on the front lines that literally died as a result of trying to save patients have funerals in arenas preceded or followed by parades? how many do you hear about dying not in the line of duty but as a result of something else like we learned of cops' deaths from covid contracted off duty after reading about them in headlines?

perhaps if stopped treating cops like super heroes they wouldn't think that they're above the law.

It's because they also do shit like this, and at a much higher rate than killing people unjustifiably.

I am sure you have positive attributes other than articulate. It would be a nice change of pace if you put them on display online.
