Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent.

@wesdym When I see someone talking about elections or impeachment as a useful tool it tells me that they do not understand the scope of the problem.
That's not cynicism.
Impeachment failed twice because the republican party won't voluntarily give up power. The mid-terms only have power if elections are free, fair and binding.
You can hope for those things, but hope is not a plan.
Today the only viable tool for a peaceful resolution the crisis is economically disruptive direct action.
@simagick
Yeah. "Cynical". Riiight.
Talk about killing the bearer of bad news.

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.
@theleftistlawyer police are the worst vigilantes.

@theleftistlawyer what's the count?

@iwein @crazyeddie @theleftistlawyer no, they are right - despite seeing the video the officer is "accused" of murder. There aren't exceptions to this. Not for ICE, not for pedophiles, immigrants or anything.

- Thomas Ligotti@clintruin @connynasch @theleftistlawyer That doesn't address my comment. Did you vote last election? Are you acting to improve things? Or are you just giving up and trying to make others despair?

Make that _unless_ proven guilty.

@theleftistlawyer and even with a proper court ruling, most countries and US states abolished the death penalty.

@theleftistlawyer true. mexican courts did indeed convict them of rape, drug, and firearm offences. gotta love those mexican courts doing their job. BTW, remember when cartels had absolute control and courts were powerless? i certainly remember. i also remember colombia during the 90s. glad we have moved into an era of relative law and order.
also, psychopath squads in sudan, currently machine-gunning civilians, just like cartels used to do in mexico. funny how that's not a priority.

@theleftistlawyer what about convicts and suspects on the run? Are they innocent?

I am Canadian. I voted in my last election. YOUR president (are you American? If yes, then yes he is YOUR president) Wants to make my country your 51st state. I am not interested in playing pretend. Hope is not a plan. Please understand I pray I'm wrong. I really do. But naivete is dangerous. I'm sorry you find the truth depressing. So do I. If this explanation is not enough, your block button is right there. I suggest using it. -
@iwein @crazyeddie @theleftistlawyer lol wow you’re accusing me of being one of them because of what you said, there’s a difference? That’s pretty low, go ahead do what maga does, say the law is clear for one side only.
-
@joe I think we agree on that, but I don't understand why you put the "no" there. It doesn't contradict anything I said, does it?
@iwein you’re trying to say I’m pro ICE now. This is pointless.

@iwein @crazyeddie @theleftistlawyer I didn’t say defamation or anything, you’re really out of line here. I was just saying the presumption of innocence applies to all or it doesn’t apply at all. We disagreed so you said I’m defending ICE, you invoked Rittenhouse? I didn’t defend anyone or pass judgements in any way. This is disgraceful.

True, and often forgotten. But a victim needn't be innocent to have the right to be free from being targeted and murdered on American streets by masked gunmen, who have the president and his cabinet behind them.

@joe @iwein @theleftistlawyer This is why I didn't reply. Thanks for trying though.
When JD starts calling liberals slanderers for this we can both get a giggle out of it--then we can cry because we know why we're fucked.

@theleftistlawyer
Yes. This is what the law says.Of course, the law also says no one is above the law.
That all ended on July 1st 2024 when the Supreme Court of the United States granted one man total immunity from prosecution. A man who could then, in turn, pardon anyone he feels like.
The American Constitution cannot exist side by side with one man who stands above it all...
...Like A King.

️@clintruin @theleftistlawyer
That's two different problems.Not being held to the law, and being able to pardon anyone.
And it's with the position, it applies to whoever happens to the president.

@joe I'm not going to analyze this to death, but it seems to me we agree and you assume I'm accusing you of something incorrectly. Sorry if this was unclear, but this isn't about you at all.
