Derek Chauvin is appealing to the Supreme Court on his conviction now. As I understand it, the appeal is based on juror intimidation due to BLM protestors threatening to kill them and burn even more cities if they didn't vote guilty. My gut says this is a pretty long shot and feels flimsy.

If they knew where the people lived and were able to serve a warrant at the front door, it couldn't have been that horribly impossible to watch the location and grab the perp outside instead. And I notice you failed to answer my question on tactics so I'll repeat it. What's got lower casualty...

And was he was in the process of killing somebody when the warrant was served? Or is that completely irrelevant to the actual case at hand? As for fast fingers, all the more reason not to blindly smash in a door and just hope he's far enough away from his gun, rather than use your own ambush...

Wait, you really think drug dealers have illegal full autos? That's a ludicrously unlikely scenario. The last time a criminal had an illegal auto I'm aware of was the 1997 North Hollywood shootout. The time before that was 1988 and it was a cop doing the shooting! A drug dealer with an...

Defund the Attorneys.

Yes, I understand that. But why not just deny bail instead of allowing bail while also making it illegal to get bail? I agree. What this appears to do is make it so that wealthier repeat offenders get out but poor repeat offenders can't, even if the public (in the form of charitable...

But the proposal is basically to forbid bail for people who can get it. Why not just remove bail in those cases instead of setting bail and making it illegal to make the bail?

How is that different?

Okay... but what's the functional difference between "NO BAIL" and "YOU CAN'T AFFORD BAIL AND NOBODY ELSE CAN BAIL YOU OUT" though? I don't get it.

I mean... wouldn't it more reasonable to quit allowing bail in such cases instead? I'm under the impression that a Judge is the one to set bail and is allowed to say "No bail" in such situations. If not it seems like passing such a law would be better than preventing charities from bailing...

It's not just them. New York's having to re-fund the police after a massive crime wave as well. And LA.... https://www.theblaze.com/news/los-angeles-mayor-more-police-funding Actually cities across the country are discovering what happens when you quit paying for quality law enforcement...

Oh agreed, morale isn't just a debuff you can apply by clicking the "Hurt Morale" button on your quick-attack bar. However this is in the context of somebody claiming that woke mobs can beat the right wing by having more people than the right has bullets and their woke mob just continuing to...

Very few people (without experience) actually understand that battles are won mostly via morale rather than actually killing everybody. After all their closest experience is probably playing Starcraft and your space marines never break and run, they always cheerfully keep shooting the Zerg to...

It's worked pretty well for Kennessaw so far and their crime rate is ludicrously low compared to the national average. https://www.homesnacks.com/ga/kennesaw-crime/

Colorado laws regarding guns don't work that way. You can have a license to (concealed) carry but they can't make you license your gun itself. That's an infringement on the 2nd amendment and attempts at doing that tend to make gun owners go nuclear. This is because, historically, every time a...

Let's be fair to the guy. The lines you're mocking there are in his scenario where Biden won a landslide victory and Trump refuses to leave the White House peacefully. He's perfectly right, the military would and should support Biden as the duly elected president in that situation and oust...

On the subject of defunding the police this tweet's of interest. Significant point at around 0:29 of the video, where Biden declares that he doesn't want to defund the police, that's Donald Trump's platform and nobody else has called to defund the police.

Very technically it's defined in certain laws. For instance California's definition can be found here. Yes, some of the things that make a gun an assault weapon are safety features, and they full-up admit those are safety features in the law. However every set of "Assault Weapon" laws are...
