pantslesswithwolves posted:Scot Peterson, the School Resource Officer who was on duty at Marjorie Stoneman HS, has been arrested on a litany of charges that carry 97 years of prison for his failure to intervene during that shooting. However, since there’s precedent under Castle Rock vs. Gonzalez, this seems like it’ll be difficult to convict upon; also, police unions will poo poo bricks over this. Castle Rock v. Gonzales does not apply to criminal prosecutions. Castle Rock v. Gonzalez applies to civil liability for a specific statutorily defined type of Federal civil lawsuit for money damages against governmental entities and against governmental employees acting in their official capacity. Some of the public policy considerations that underlie Castle Rock v. Gonzalez will surely be part of Peterson's defense, but those considerations will in no way mandate dismissal in the same way it would if this was a civil suit instead of a criminal prosecution. Castle Rock v. Gonzales does not apply to criminal prosecutions.

Chichevache posted:Referring to the amount of cops and the amount of cops only! I'm not defending anything, just addressing why so many would show. No, escalation is by definition not de-escalation. For the small subset of seized people who are 1) actually dangerous and 2) Capable of doing a rational cost-benefit analysis at that moment, escalation like this might work. However, the number of times the outcome is going to be worse far outweighs the times it will work.

Wasabi the J posted:Uh yeah. There's a loving process. You need to be campaigning if anything to get your name and platform out there. There is indeed a process and all the candidates are probably following it. None of the potential candidates have the money, time or organization, let alone an articulable need, to start campaigning more than a year before the primaries.

Godholio posted:Iran got ready for this poo poo after Desert Storm. After years of war with Iraq they were pretty worn out; but they saw what happened in 90/91 just like everyone else. The entirety of the list of potential US adversaries collectively gulped and started spending money. I was wondering what was the step between 1) The last time Iran fought a conventional war (if using WWI strategy and tactics, and a literal Children's Crusade in the 1980s is conventional war) was a disastrous clown-show clusterfuck. and 3) OHMYGOD the Iranian superarmy will wipe up the battlefield with us if we go to war* with them. Is there any evidence that Iran has fielded actual, modern and reliable equipment? Is there any evidence that they have restructured their upper military organization and strategic thinking, as well as their operational units' leadership and tactics? Or is the concern not so much with Iranian warfighting, but more that an IED every 100m of the 1000 km to Tehran is going to figuratively and literally bleed us dry? *still a bad, bad, idea
