Edible Hat posted:He did literally everything not-racists said black people should do to not get killed by a cop, right? And he still was killed. And the police officer was acquitted. This case is disgusting. Homemaker fascists and closet white nationalists getting onto juries is starting to piss me off.

No one should be surprised. Police literally have a licence to murder in the US and this has been upheld very consistently.

I'm pretty sure he's trying to be cute rather than pull a real life Dril. So go gently caress yourself, you loving thief.

Abisteen posted:No that was Walter Scott in South Carolina. Philando Castile was the man who was not shot on camera but whose fiancé streamed the immediate aftermath. Holy poo poo. how the gently caress was he not found guilty of that. the piece of poo poo should have at least been fired for that. Rigel posted:Yes, thats the other route to firing Mueller. If the entire DOJ stands firm and refuses to fire Mueller and Trump can't find a minion to do his bidding, then Trump can change the rules that say he can't fire the special prosecutor. It would immediately cause a political shitstorm of course since Trump would basically be declaring that the president can't ever be even investigated, and there would be pressure in congress to reinstate the special counsel laws which they allowed to sunset after Ken Starr's crusade. It would also be obstruction of justice, if that matters. pretty much. no matter how trump bullshits his sacking. muellers firing will be the end of it.

Convicting a cop for killing a minority is practically impossible. White juries are way too committed to the idea that police face death daily and if they don't shoot first at every opportunity they are risking their lives. This is not just a Republican thing.

Chilichimp posted:People are being decidedly non-defeatist about him Firing Mueller, and while Boon is saying that things matter more with Mueller in place, the implication of that is that if Mueller is fired things won't matter (at least as much as they do now). You're weird, dude, and projecting some poo poo on me and then arguing with me about projecting. Also, I'm not sure why I should take you seriously when you do not understand the process...

Sitting here in June 2017, the whole "Bowling Green Massacre" thing genuinely feels like it happened years ago. The Trump Presidency is so loving absurd that I think it's doing serious damage to time itself.

Senators would take a ton of heat if Mueller were fired and they didn't immediately set him up as independent. The idea has already been discussed. Would it just be a majority in the senate? I can't imagine you couldn't find a few Reps to do it.

He said Castile was reaching for his legal concealed carry weapon, when he had just asked him for license and registration, which is, you know, pretty close to the same area. So "I was scared and I panicked" basically.

Shifty Pony posted:I would wager it is probably a convenience thing. He doesn't want every staff member to say "Sorry, I need my attorney here if we are going to talk" when he walks up. I can't speak to the strategic reason but an attorney telling anyone who is not their direct client "you don't need a lawyer of your own" is close to an automatic ethics violation, because you've just given legal advice to someone who at least potentially has an interest adverse to your client (even if the interest is just in cutting a deal to save themselves). I wonder if he's making all the white House staff sign conflict waivers.

Yanez is a complete joke. The defense leaned heavily on discrediting the witnesses (aka Philando's girlfriend) based on their marijuana use. They got a "self-defense" expert to testify that "if you can see the gun, it's too late." I'm beyond loving pissed. This happened like 10 miles from my house. I thought we were different here in Minnesota, especially after governor Dayton came right out and questioned whether this would have happened if Castile were white. It's infuriating. I'm expecting him to come down on this and will probably be making a phone call to the mansion.

It's not "close to" an ethics violation, it's squarely and directly violative of DC Bar Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 4.3. DC Bar Rule 4.3 (a) posted:In dealing on behalf of a client with a person who is not represented by counsel, a lawyer shall not: (1) Give advice to the unrepresented person other than the advice to secure counsel, if the interests of such person are or have a reasonable possibility of being in conflict with the interests of the lawyer’s client E;FB! Nicely done skylined! Partial credit for the rules cite, pretty please?

I said "close to automatic" because I could actually see Trump ordering all his employees to sign attorney conflict waivers.
