Good morning. Here are some things.

– Some great reporting on the police officers on the Brady list in Washington.

– And speaking of police who shouldn’t be police.

– Get yourself on the Seattle mass vaccination site list. And keep on looking (and feel free to drop other locations in Washington in the thread.

– Wash your hands, you grubby weirdo.

– Biden’s judicial nominees seem pretty rad.

    When these officers are called upon to testify, letters are sent from the prosecutor’s office to alert defense attorneys of their past misbehavior

    Jesus Christ, talk about burying the lede.

    183 is absolutely an undercount.

    First of all, you need a state law that compels every state certified agency to report the names to the State Attorney General. The compiled list must be public, published, and searchable. And any county or agency official who omits or deletes a name must be held criminally liable for doing so. Nothing else works. Here’s why:

    Let’s say you are defending a client accused of a crime. The prosecutor you are facing is obligated to disclose. That’s the “Brady” part (Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963)). Now let’s say your client is charged based upon an affidavit of arrest sworn to by a police officer who has been caught making false sworn statements. That police officer, with a proven record of swearing to false statements is going to be called to testify in support of their arrest affidavit. They will be sworn in front of the jury your client faces. And the record proves that they have given false testimony under just such an oath in the past. You need to know that. The jury needs to know that.

    But what if the prosecutor does not know it? What if the police officer’s record of perjury has been withheld from the prosecutor? The prosecutor can’t disclose what they don’t know.

    So what if the case goes forward to trial with none of the evidence of police perjury presented to the jury, and they vote to convict?
    Grounds for appeal, right?

    Wrong. It isn’t misconduct if the prosecutor did not know. The burden lies on you and your client to prove to the appellate court, not that the lying cop is a liar, but that the lying cop lied at trial in your case. The prosecutor presented their affidavit and their testimony in good faith. They didn’t know they were presenting a liar-cop. And just because the liar-cop is now revealed to be a liar-cop, doesn’t automatically mean that the liar-cop lied in front of your jury. The credibility of the lying cop is not an issue for appeal. The court assumes that the liar-cop told the truth to your jury unless you can prove they did not. The testimony of the liar cop can’t be stricken unless it can be shown to be a lie.

    A system like this presents no compelling reason for law enforcement agencies to remove cops who routinely commit perjury by swearing false statements. Instead it creates very powerful incentives for agencies to withhold that information for prosecutors and for prosecutors to encourage this.

    That’s your current system, kids. A liar-cop with a proven track record of committing criminal perjury can put you in jail and there’s nothing you can do about it. Even if you eventually learn about the lying cop. The system generally forbids any consideration of it after the fact.
    Consequently, you can be absolutely assured that there are thousands of people doing felony time in your state prisons based upon the false sworn statements of police officers who have done it before, and who will do it again.

    But hey! As long as their mostly doing it to the poors, the blacks, and the long-hairs, that’s the idea, right?

    There goes the millions the FBI extortionist tried to get from him.

    P.S., nobody hires these guys to defend them against the parking tickets the GOP never pinned on Hillary despite spending over $1`00 million of taxpayer money investigating her. Still waiting for them to lock ‘er up.

    To recap briefly, Q-anon is the massive “conservative” conspiracy theory which proposes that a vast, “deep state” of invisible bureaucrats enabled by Democrats and funded by Hollywood and entertainment industry elites is secretly engaged in a massive effort to destroy Donald J. Trump. The theory insists that this conspiracy exists because Donald J. Trump is secretly at work dismantling a global “Satanic” empire of child sex trafficking involving wealthy elites, Tom Hanks, Hillary Clinton, John Podesta, and Prince Andrew to kidnap, warehouse, and transport huge numbers of pre-adolescent children in order to sexual abuse them, murder them, feast on their organs in Satanic rituals, and extract their adrenochrome in order to prolong life.

    The Q-anon conspiracy theory is the lynchpin behind “The Big Lie” that the Nov. 3 presidential election was stolen. Proponents of “The Big Lie” depend upon Q-anon, not just for the motivation and support of angry white base voters, but also to provide the causative mechanism. The conspiracy provides the means by which they claim hundreds of individual election counts were falsified. It is a claim we’ve seen promoted by all of our trolls here, by ranking and senior Republican members of the US Senate, by Republican Governors and state party Chairs, and by member of Congress. It is specifically what Mike Flynn and mobs of Trump rally attendees were shouting about when they chanted “Lock her up”.

    Here’s a brief profile of one of the original authors of the Q conspiracy theory from before Donald J. Trump’s rise within the GOP:
    https://splinternews.com/meet-the-man-keeping-8chan-the-worlds-most-vile-websit-1793856249

    From the very beginning it was created by pedophile profiteers to provide cover for commercial sharing of child pornography. It was a smoke screen that leveraged the ignorance, superstition, paranoia, and partisanship found in abundance among Republican base voters to divert attention elsewhere.
    Now the leading contenders for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024 are employing this same conspiracy theory to defend their own participation in these pedophile conspiracy activities. People like Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Donald J. Trump argue that they are being targeted by the “Deep State” and other “hidden” conspirators. These leading Republicans and their followers, who actively engaged in promoting false claims about a child sex trafficking conspiracy to steal the election now argue that the same imaginary conspiracy is trying to silence them from further spreading those very same false claims. They call this “Cancel”.

    It’s a perfect circular fallacy.
    In essence it amounts to a variation of “I’m entitled to my opinion”.
    Which may be true. But is also entirely irrelevant. Because that opinion is a falsehood. And more importantly it is a falsehood predicated on a carefully designed smokescreen for child pornographers.

    They may be entitled to their opinions.
    But they are not entitled to anyone’s approval of those opinions. And when you understand where those opinions come from it’s very difficult for any moral person to approve.

    18,
    Let’s be fair.
    Manchin depends upon a great many of these child porn conspiracy mongering idiots for his winning vote margins.

    I trust that Manchin is wise and intelligent enough to recognize a dangerous psychotic pedophile when he sees one (and yes, I’m referring to Josh Hawley). But he may also need to retain some support among emotionally disturbed “conservative” voters in WV in order to win reelection. So it’s not unreasonable for him to tread carefully and most of all to try to reassure those emotionally disturbed “conservative” voters that “he listens”.

    He doesn’t listen to psychotic pedophiles. He just needs some of their votes.

    He wants to get shit done, same as any other Democrat, and same as Joe Biden. But he also realizes that Democrats can’t get anything done with 49 votes in the Senate. Protecting the 51 to 50 majority means protecting Joe Manchin through next year. That’s something we can all agree on. Protecting Joe Manchin means pretending to listen to emotionally disturbed “conservative” voters. That should be easy for us to agree on as well.

    After all, we do it all the time with our trolls.

    Curious to see the Chauvin defense. Their rebuttal of the prosecution so far has mostly consisted of “he was scared” and “he followed his training”. Neither of which are very compelling.

    I fully expect them to present their own experts to challenge the prosecution. But that will be tough. So far the prosecution experts have been pretty unequivocal. I think it will be challenging for the defense to put on experts making equally certain declarations to the jury. And of course the prosecutor will then be allowed to recall his own experts to rebut the defense experts. So the likely argument to arise from it will be the more “tactical” and less “factual” argument wherein the defense scolds the people during closing for “confusing” the jury. Standard tactic. Generally only effective if the prosecution experts are weak.

    Jacobson previously resigned as an ambassador in 2018 in protest of former President Donald Trump’s border policies before she was appointed to the Biden administration.

    Forensic pathologist: “Activities of the law enforcement officers resulted in Mr. Floyd’s death”

    This isn’t the pathologist who conducted the autopsy.

    Elsewhere in the link @ 13, the pathologist who did the autopsy, Dr. Baker, stated that he intentionally did not view the videos of the Floyd arrest prior to completing the autopsy. And yet he diagnosed:

    It’s what I put on the death certificate last June. That’s cardiopulmonary arrest, complicating law enforcement subdual restraint and neck compression. That was my top line then and it would stay my top line now,” Baker said during the trial of former officer Derek Chauvin today.

    Fair enough. But here’s my question:

    If the pathologist didn’t view video, and if the pathologist did not find signs of neck injury that might result from compression, how would the pathologist have any reason to attribute the death to restraint and neck compression, more than to fentanyl intoxication? There was no autopsy evidence that any damage at all was caused to the neck area. None.

    It was also cardiopulmonary arrest, complicating a choice by Floyd to get high, and then to pop more pills to hid them from LE. Which his dealer told him to do, and then took the Fifth to avoid having to disclose in court.

    @ 23

    Their rebuttal of the prosecution so far has mostly consisted of “he was scared” and “he followed his training”. Neither of which are very compelling.

    I did not know that this is the phase of the trial during which the defense rebuts the prosecution. There’s a defense phase, yes?

    There have been a dozen prosecuting attorneys present evidence. The defense attorney is on his own. He did cross-examine a use-of-force expert for a longer period of time than the prosecutor took during direct.

    He has also been successful numerous times in compelling the witnesses to agree that what was done by Chauvin was, in fact, part of his training. That’s not rebuttal. That’s exculpatory evidence. And they aren’t even defense witnesses. Yet.

    One of the prosecuting attorneys’ witnesses will be called as a defense witness, it was announced earlier this week. So much damage to the prosecution was done by this witness that apparently there’s more damage to follow when the defense is able to lead the questioning.

    For some reason the prosecution suddenly stopped referring to Floyd’s “neck” and is now referring to Floyd’s “neck area”. Apparently different video angles we haven’t yet seen much of make it apparent that nobody was crushin’ on Floyd’s neck.

    I haven’t seen much to suggest that Chauvin did anything wrong so far. I’ve seen plenty to suggest that Floyd caused his own death. It’s really not helpful to the prosecution that so many witnesses for the prosecution were threatening the officers when they were trying to do their jobs. That firefighter isn’t gonna be very popular when things settle down. Especially if Chauvin’s exoneration causes Minneapolis to be torched and a couple of her colleagues end up getting killed trying to put out the fires people who think and behave like her will set.

    Why did the prosecuting attorney in the Chauvin trial have a reason to bring up John Wilkes Booth?

    Prosecution witness and forensic pathologist Thomas:

    “There’s no evidence,” she later added, “to suggest he would have died that night except for the interactions with law enforcement.”

    Prosecution witness and forensic pathologist Baker, who conducted the autopsy:

    “If he were found dead at home alone and no other apparent causes, this could be acceptable to call an OD. Deaths have been certified with levels of 3,” Baker told investigators.

    Seems like Baker thinks there’s evidence to suggest he would have died had LE not been holding him down.

    What’s the term used to describe this discrepancy? Oh, yes. Now I remember.

    Reasonable doubt.

    Why, of course you do, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit. It’s undoubtedly one of your big winners. Compared with GE, it’s gone killer.

    KO shares in October 2017: about $46

    KO shares in the present: about $53.

    That’s a 15.2% gain over 3 1/2 years, or about 3.3% each year. Add in the dividend, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, and you’ve got yourself a solid investment that has increased at an annualized rate of 6.5%. As I said, it’s your big winner.

    Look at S&P 500 tracking stock VTI over the same period, and it’s gone from $132/sh to $214/sh. Dividend yield 1.6%. That’s a 62% gain. Annualized and with dividend, it’s 19.3%.

    So, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, your winner blue-chip shares in KO have increased at about one-third the pace of your S&P 500 average over the last three years.

    You had to go back six months for your link. I had to go back to yesterday.

    Whitmer lost the confidence of too many people with overbearing restrictions that she didn’t follow herself, and she knows she’s toast at re-election time if she tries to reimpose restrictions now.

    Do you really wish to argue that Republican mask, social distancing, and “reopen” policies saved lives…

    Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, fewer than 7 hours ago @ 8 you pointed out weight gains of nearly 30 pounds by nearly half the population due to COVID-19. Not packing on that much weight because some states stayed open certainly prevented some early deaths in those states.

    Lives may also have been saved by the suicides and homicides avoided by letting people outside and letting them interact socially with other people.

    I’m absolutely certain it is multifactorial. But the fact that Mrs. Dumbfuck Rabbit now has two labia majora on each side rather than one as a result of that extra skin fold she acquired due to the 29# she gained in the last year can’t make the Dumbfuck Rabbit household smell any better.

    Small wonder you don’t feel like you’re missing anything with your ED. You wouldn’t want to hit that even if you could get it up.

    Yes, I wish to argue that maintaining policies that prevent that much weight gain in only a year saved lives.

    I did not know that this is the phase of the trial during which the defense rebuts the prosecution. There’s a defense phase, yes?

    Yeah. There’s this thing called cross examination. During cross there are special rules for how a witness can be treated? Right? You’ve seen television?

    Oh wait. I forget. Movies and television get this shit wrong most of the time. So it’s like this, the prosecution can only ask their own witnesses to answer specific, “direct” questions. Questions like “please describe what you saw”, and “what happened next”. They can’t suggest an answer at all. They can’t make a statement to their own witness and then ask them “is that correct”. That’s leading. Most of this gets cleaned up before trial. You review your line of questioning with a team. Some of them act as opposing counsel and object. So you re-phrase and you’re more careful at trial. You don’t want to have your jury hearing a bunch of sustained objections about “form”. It’s trivial, in a way. But it leaves the wrong impression on the jury. As prosecutor you get to carry the ball and call all the plays. You don’t want stupid penalties or interceptions. And it’s a shitty deal for the other team. They never get to carry the ball on offense. And the best outcome they can hope for is a no-score. Shitty, right?

    So how the defense conducts cross is normally a very strong indication of their theory. Like I said, so far it’s “he was afraid” and “he was following his training”.

    That’s not rebuttal. That’s exculpatory evidence.

    No, really. It’s defense rebuttal. You don’t get to ask a prosecution witness about anything outside of their testimony. There’s an exception that relates to witness credibility. So you can ask them about that other time they lied in court (if you even know about it). But you can’t use a prosecution witness to introduce all new evidence to “exculpate” your murderer. That’s not a thing. During cross you only are allowed to challenge the testimony they have already previously given in direct. So yeah. You’re wrong about that. That’s the main point of cross. If you can, to get a prosecution witness to rebut their own testimony under direct.

    Once again, need to remind you, that while it may suck that the defense never gets to carry the ball or call plays on offense, the good news is that if the other team doesn’t score, the defense wins. And all it takes for a touchdown to get called back on a penalty is one random official to throw a flag,

    Did I mention the officiating crew is comprised entirely of amateurs chosen at random with absolutely no training?

    This was fun. Let’s do it again.
