They're probably giving him leniency in exchange for testifying that Garcia is the head of a criminal conspiracy

I mean, things would be better if we had more Dems in Congress. Definitely not perfect, not even good enough, but slightly better than this shit show.

There might be more stuff you can do in addition to voting that people don't want to discuss or encourage in public channels for a variety of reasons regardless of whether or not they would actually support that kind of stuff, but you may as well also vote if you can.

I can't find a good resource for the exact pay formula they use, but cops are definitely eligible for overtime pay, which has apparently blown out their budget to the extent that the city is taking out a $17m loan to pay them (arc)

Is the city really your enemy?

So long as LAPD officers keep defending ICE kidnappings, yeah

I mean, that would have been an accurate description of me at age 21

son says

There is video of them punching him multiple times in the head after taking him down to the ground. Acting like we only have the son's word for the fact that this was a violent arrest injuries is crazy journalistic cowardice.

Yeah, I think if a journalist or judge tried to make ICE go on the record with a straight answer they'd probably just get assaulted and charged with several felonies, but there was this

The acting U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, Rob McGuire, argued on June 13 that the likely attempt by ICE to try to deport him was one reason to keep him in jail.

e; Like, they're not the same office obviously, but presumably a DOJ attorney has some insight on what ICE might be contemplating

 

More than 30 years ago, Barbour confessed to police that he killed a 40-year-old single mother in Montgomery and helped another man rape her. Almost immediately he tried to take back the confession — he said later that he didn’t do it nor even know the woman — but it was too late.

Barbour remains on Alabama’s death row.

But now, new DNA testing points to someone else — a man who’s already in prison for an unrelated murder. Yet there is no cinematic rush to release Barbour. Instead, there is a push by prosecutors to explain away the DNA.

...

The state’s latest theory — though they write that it’s not their responsibility to offer one — is laid out in court records. The state said a “likely theory” is that the single mother also had sex with Jackson, who was a neighbor and a teenage friend of her son, that same day. That was just before being raped and killed by a group of homeless men hours later.

The judge said “any reasonable jury” would doubt that a 40-year-old churchgoing woman would have consensual sex with a boy younger than her own son.

Ed Artau, now a nominee to be a district court judge in Florida, met with staff in the office of Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott to angle for the nomination less than two weeks after Trump’s election last fall, according to a new Senate disclosure obtained by POLITICO. In the midst of his interviews, Artau was part of a panel of judges that ruled in Trump’s favor in the president’s case against members of the Pulitzer Prize Board.

About two weeks after the court published his opinion — which called for the overturning of a landmark Supreme Court case that made it harder for public officials to sue journalists — he interviewed with the White House Counsel’s Office. In May, Trump announced his nomination to the federal judiciary.

Critics raised concerns about Artau’s impartiality at the time of the announcement, in light of his ruling in the Pulitzer case. But the overlapping timeline of that decision with his meetings with Senate staff and the White House Counsel’s Office has not previously been reported.

On a very related note, fuck the NY Post

 

Douglas Wayne Cornett, of Ruther Glen, just north of Richmond, shot the two victims after learning that one of them had recently arrived in the United States.

Yeah, like even if they did manage to break away they would constantly be getting little raiding parties and all sorts of harassment from the old government and continually have to waste all sorts of resources on defending themselves. If it gets to the point where open armed conflict with the US government seems like a good idea you might as well skip past secession to overthrow.

Oof, telling everyone your strike package is a massive ordnance penetrator is just so insecure

reveals

There is definitely no way the US military would manufacture and present information in a particular way to further their own goals, they do not "say" things and they certainly never make "claims," they only "reveal" the truth to us
