Sounds like an episode of..."Short Attention Span Theatre".
Only a crooked lawyer could call that anything but double jeopardy.
A very easy thing to do when youve invested 50 years in emasculating and feeding a victim mentality into people.
Every Ferguson officer should immediately resign and leave holder on the street. No white OR black officer will ever want to work there again.
Clearly he misspoke.
He meant to say, “The Reparations Department can also take a look at an entire department and say there are problems here,” he says. “There are infrastructure problems, policy problems, whatever they might pull out of their rear ends.”
Behind the Al Sharptons and other racial agitators, there is the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, “Iranian supreme leader takes to Twitter in wake of controversial shooting of black teenager by police, calling the US “an enemy of human rights”....Human Rights? What rights does this man have when he condones beheading, slicing and dicing humans, stoning women, keeping them subservient to men, dressing them in tents etc....Islam should be outlawed in ALL free societys starting with all the Ayatollah’s who keep racism boiling.
Depends on where you are. Black violence in Chicago is usually limited to the neighborhoods where the worst thugs actually live, but most springs, once it warms up nicely, they’ll spend a weekend or two downtown stealing and bullying. If things really went bad, I wouldn’t be surprised if they strayed into those same areas.
Although I also wouldn’t be surprised if Chicago police already plan on assigning more men to preventing that than to keeping the thug’s home neighborhoods anything like intact.
But your underlying reasoning is spot on. It is their immediate neighbors, many of them elderly or poor or otherwise unable to move away, who suffer the most, and that is just as true during riots as otherwise.
“Sounds like an episode of...”Short Attention Span Theatre”.”
Two words...Look, squirrel.
Justice is swift in Missouri, 8 days later, the Grand Jury is already in business.
it will mostly happen only in the dangerous inner city areas anyhow.
I think you’re right and all of the inner city areas are democrat controlled. Chickens are coming home...
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch
“I doubt it, or at least that it will work. They tried it with Zimmerman. Didn’t work.”
It got Zimmerman to trial and ruined his life. He still is under a federal investigation.
Legally speaking, it isn’t considered double jeopardy because the initial trial was done by the state of California, and the civil rights trial was done by the federal government.
I hear what you are saying, but, legally, this is where we are at. The federal government can step in to local matters and file federal charges, even if someone is acquitted in court.
It got Zimmerman to trial and ruined his life. He still is under a federal investigation.
The federal investigation is going nowhere.
-———222I can’t understand how that isn’t Double Jeopardy.
I see sensitivity training in your future.
“Yes, but the price was way too high for them, and I really don’t see how this could have turned out any better for Z. What if they had NOT prosecuted?”
It would not have been in the headlines for a year and TM would not be a the symbol that he is today.
The thing is, we really don’t know what “would have” happened. I have my theories, and they revolve around the trial being the best option for him, in the long run.
