The Hill is reporting Trump is returning to ‘probably attend the trial’. It’s all theatrics. First decline the opportunity to testify before the court. Then when Trump realizes he’s likely to lose the case, turn up too late to testify. Then claim to his followers he was denied the right to testify in his own defense and claim the trial rigged against him. https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/3987892-trump-says-he-will-probably-attend-e-jean-carroll-trial-to-confront-this/

Wrong thread, wrong President. But yes I agree.

There’s the little problem of evidence of crimes, getting a Grand Jury to indict on the evidence and a Jury to convict on the evidence. I’m sure the ‘too old and too senile’ excuse to avoid trial, jail or remaining in jail will show up in the not too distant future, but it won’t have Biden’s name attached to it.

More of the Republican accusation / confession thing. Perhaps Comey should get the alleged evidence in hand before making allegations of criminality.

I agree, but I think it’s a two way street. I think education for citizens and training for cops is key. I also think the militarization of the police is an added problem. Policing is a complex issue, we need a lot less of the ‘simple fixes to complex problems’. Removing bad cops to enable the very many good officers do the public service they signed up for is a good thing.

55555 FOX again. Losing viewers in their droves, so decide to go down the ‘National Enquirer’ route. Next up, ‘Elvis is alive on the moon, he’s dressed as an ancient Egyptian and he abducted my cat’.

The police had already arrested him. Then Officer Chauvin took it upon himself to kill the suspect he had under arrest. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/justifies-arrest-probable-cause.html

Can you provide a link to the statute that states suspects of tendering fake money shall be subject to extra judicial killing?

Was it Andrew?

He obviously wasn’t a threat as he was being unlawfully killed.

I’m not by what twisted logic you came to that conclusion. The jury, who saw the evidence, heard the testimony and the legal arguments convicted Floyd’s killer.

It’s not working out too good for his killer either.

Incorrect, I don’t watch videos posted as ‘comments’ in this discussion forum. I watch plenty of videos elsewhere.

The jury disagree with you.

No amount of police training obviates the duty not to unlawfully kill civilians. If officers are, as you say trained, then they should be handling the situation and continually assessing developments. Multiple people standing near by telling police officers that they are killing the guy who one of the officers has his knee on his neck is the kind of thing trained officers ought reasonably be expected respond to. The Jury agreed. But back to this training you mention, I wonder which part of police training covers holding a person to the ground with your knee on his neck for over 9 minutes?

He didn’t, and Floyd was damned.

I’ve read Great Expectations, I don’t recall the race of any of the protagonists therein being mentioned.

Can you state under which statute the penalty for not immediately obeying a police officer is death?

My opinion is backed by the facts. He was investigated, a Grand Jury handed down an indictment and a jury convicted him.

Actually they charged him following an investigation and a Grand Jury indictment. Nothing to do with your BLM grievance thing.

Yes, I read that. But why several months notice? It seems more like a strategic move on part of the investigation than a urgent public order issue.

Tacopina, petitioned the judge to declare the case a mistrial on the claim of the judge himself being biased. It seems like a bit of theatrics for an audience of one, it certainly did not impress the judge. The question is, if Tacopina believes he’s winning the case he wouldn’t want a mistrial. It all the stink of that ‘life’s not fair’ plot Trump Likes to lay out for his supporters. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-lawyer-tacopina-asks-judge-mistrial-e-jean-carroll-case-2023-5

Several months is a long ‘heads up and be ready guys’. I wonder if she’s trolling the multiple targets of the investigations, setting a few nerves on edge that might need soothing with a cooperation deal. Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock….. Oh and I don’t mind waiting, just do it right, by the book and water tight.

It’s the Republican way, they want to choose which Americans can vote, wanting to choose who runs debates is no surprise at all.

Why would Trump want to skip a debate if he believes everything he himself says about Biden?
