Department has basically already admitted fault by firing him and releasing the videos which are damning. Either way, they have a very strong case.Dead Reckoning posted:I know QI pisses off a lot of people, but anyone who has worked for the government should understand why it is good law and absolutely correct. No, frankly, we need to start holding officers personally liable. The whole focus on 'Support our Cops' crap has gone too far, where you can be a trained and disciplined officer and expected to be allowed to have less self-control than the citizens you are supposed to protect.

Dead Reckoning posted:No, we don't, because government officials in the course of their duties are acting on behalf of the state, not for their personal aggrandizement or enrichment, and the outsize power and authority they wield correctly belong to the state. If an IRS auditor makes a mistake and accidentally orders a million dollars seized from some poor schmuck's bank account, said schmuck should be able to sue the IRS to get his money back, but not the auditor, despite the pain and privation the schmuck no doubt experienced by being instantly broke. Someone who supervises millions of dollars of fines on behalf of the government is going to make a mistake eventually, but the government who told him to do that job and who directly benefits from his labor should be on the hook for liability, not able to back off and say "Hey buddy, what you do in the course of your official duties is on you. Better get a lawyer." Both of them are responsible. The idea that somehow the actual officer lacks individual responsibility is part of the reason we're in the mess we are quote:Seriously, holy poo poo, anyone who as ever held a position of any responsibility in the military ought to wake up in a cold sweat at the thought of being individually liable for decisions they had to make in the course of their duties. This makes no sense. The idea that you are somehow not liable for your actions is baffling, because most officers ARE held liable for their actions. Its literally what the UCMJ is about.

Trey Gowdy has killed the House Oversight's Russia investigation. http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/new_house_oversight_chairman_kills_off_committee_s_russia_investigation Partially because of Mueller's investigation, but this is the guy who drove the Benghazi investigation for 28 months.

And, in a return to buisiness as usual in the US, Texas Supreme Court has ruled against a lower court ruling, saying that Same Sex couples are NOT entitled to the same marriage rights as hetero couples.
