Today's Protest - Photos

Sophos2 Though your posted response is from the character of a hypothetical prosecutor, I'm going to continue responding as if this is a conversation with you. You are reinforcing points that I have made that you previously dismissed. It is interesting how your prosecution character is now acknowledging them and validating them. I won't take the time to quote all those examples, but I will include some. When you say, "However, the same policies are equally clear that officers are not trained to shoot vehicles, are not trained to disable vehicles with firearms, and are instructed that bullets are unlikely to stop a moving car", you are totally ignoring that I previously addressed this. Again, the officer appears to be targeting the driver of the vehicle, not the vehicle. This has been the focus of my sustained commentary since the day of the shooting, while you and others have focused on Noem's quick public statements (which now appear extremely on point), "but she was just dropping off her child at daycare", and comments such as "but she was scared because officers were unidentified and rushing the car" (the officer's POV video demonstrates without a doubt that the 2 ladies knew very well that they were ICE agents) Exactly. I have described the driver's actions, while you speculated about the driver's intent. Nowhere in the (probably AI's) prosecutor response does he address intent of the driver as having any role in diminishing the officer's response. If that's the argument, the entire quote comes down to the following response. How much time would you say passed between the 1st and 2nd shots as well as the 2nd and 3rd shots? Is that sufficient time to accurately assess all relevant information and intercept the brain to body response? Would the average officer be capable under those circumstances? Who would you put on the stand to attempt making the case that the answer is yes? I'm asking that because when deadly force is used in a compressed time frame measured in fractions of a second, courts ROUTINELY analyze the volley as part of one continuous use of force event, unless there is a clear and significant break in time, one that represents an opportunity for conscious reassessment. Your prosecutor also added a misleading statement about "until a magazine is empty". If he does that in court (insinuating that is what happened) the dishonest prosecutor gets admonished and just lost credibility in front of a jury. Based on the flaws in the AI prosecutor's reasoning and that your query does not appear to identify the history of this exchange, I'm not sure it's worth my time to keep repeating the same information. I'll probably still read your next post from the AI prosecution character, but my enthusiasm for responding has waned.

Sophos2 : most don't like trump.. the failure do provide a better alternative is one of the most embarrassing political actions of this century. It's like neither party cares to take governance seriously anymore

Spork : Oh, I got bored, tired, and ****ed off at a point last night. Why you continued is beyond me. I was just curious how long you would go this time. Cheers.

What you posted is an immature justification to engage in and promote additional criminal conduct - one that influences fellow humans with promising futures as pawns to influence them to ruin their own lives to achieve social media goals.

asasolid2r : Most ? I would say about over 80 million do like him and that is enough...maybe the rest will wake out from the coma Biden put them into....

Sophos2 : You're taking issue with why I replied to a post you addressed to me? That's a new one.

acteon : No, I am not defensive in the least. My opinion of ICE has no bearing on my community and patriotic pride in dissenters making their opinions heard in an orderly and peaceful manner. Knowing that they are facing backlash and ridicule when doing this in a community where the majority of your neighbors and co-workers more than likely disapprove makes it even more so in my eyes. Your comment was presented in such a passive aggressive tone that deciphering whether or not there was a sincere question embedded in there somewhere was impossible.

Spork : There's a long history of peaceful civil disobedience in the US.

Anyone who does it has to be prepared to bear the consequences.

maybe the rest will wake out from the coma Biden put them into....

Spork : No issue. I was experimenting because I was curious to see what you would do.

You are insulting me constantly
