@infantrydort I’m his age and probably only 10-15 pounds heavier than him, and I can bench 315. For people who consistently strength train, it’s very doable.
@WEschenbach@majtoure Qualified Immunity would not apply in your example.
QI protects officers from CIVIL liability during the course of their duties.
It doesn’t protect from criminal prosecution.
Most of the critics of qualified immunity don’t understand the difference.
@karlykingsley If you’re not a citizen, you are required by federal law to carry identification.
That’s not a “descent into fascism.”
That’s longstanding federal law that has been upheld as constitutional.
@danishacarterr If Democrat politicians would let the local police support ICE, instead of spewing rhetoric, there wouldn’t be a problem now.
ICE is deporting tons of people from red cities and states and there’s been no problems because the local politicians and police are cooperating.
@ShakeDown1979X@MAGAmaddogRay@GuntherEagleman@nicksortor The protestor did put his life in danger by being in front of the car.
But, there’s a key LEGAL difference:
ICE was LAWFULLY trying to detain a suspect, so self-defense applies.
The protestor was UNLAWFULLY trying to detain someone, eliminating his right to self-defense.
@bpret@RedoaksTrent@mattmfm@JDVance So, after the shooting but before the video of the self-identified doctor, did one of the officers already determine she was deceased? You don’t know.
You know that many law enforcement officers are cross-trained as medics, and that anyone can claim to be a DR, right?
@RedoaksTrent@mattmfm@JDVance Is there video of the immediate aftermath? Because I haven’t seen it and, therefore, have no idea what they did or did not do.
If you’ve also not seen the immediate aftermath, you’re making assumptions based on your biases.
@rebeccaballhaus And all were determined to be justified self-defense.
If the left would stop demonizing ICE and provoking people to assault agents, they wouldn’t get hurt.
You don’t have to like the laws. But, you can’t impede law enforcement.
The way to protest the laws is legislation.
@AngieCraigMN They immediately let them in. They just didn’t give them “full access.”
What does that even mean? Would they not let you open the drawers in the commander’s desk? Not let you search the janitor’s closet.
They’re playing a word game to ratchet up tensions and it’s despicable.
@JamesSurowiecki At least one shot through the windshield, at least one through the side mirror. Those are the two defects you can see.
You are making the ASSUMPTION that a third went into the side window.
Have you seen a shooting reconstruction report? I haven’t. Maybe the VP has more info?
@RepDanGoldman@PressSec “Illegally trying to open her car.”
Are you completely ignorant of the laws, or just a liar?
The Supreme Court has made it clear that officers can force someone to exit their car for officer safety. See Pennsylvania v Mimms.
@iAnonPatriot Police in Minneapolis have trouble recruiting because officers aren’t respected and are thrown under the bus by their city, state, and department at every turn.
Watch the documentary The Fall of Minneapolis if you want to know why nobody wants to police there.
@ryangrim@JDVance Comments like these show a lack of understanding of human physiology and use of deadly force.
Based on scientific data, once an officer sees a threat stop, there are an average of two follow-up shots before the brain can communicate to stop firing.
THIS WILL BE RULED JUSTIFIED
@LucasSa56947288 It would have been wise for this ‘eyewitness’ to review the videos before getting on TV and making a fool of herself by spewing misinformation.
Much of what she stated is demonstrably false.
While some of these inconsistencies are explainable, others are just outright lies.
