They didn't so much as leave a remittance coupon..
The audacity.
Non credible defense is skewing older and more colon-health conscious than I would have initially expected..
TIL.
Something's going to have to give and soon. Police need to carry individual malpractice insurance, where gross negligence results in personal liability, and blanket qualified immunity as a whole needs to go.
No other institution has built a self-licking ice cream cone like law enforcement. The US health care system certainly tries, but at least it doesn't have a monopoly on the use of force. Until the incentives change, there's no future where civil relations recover. You just can't remove liability for bad faith abuse of power and expect an organization to self-police its behavior.
Crushingly ironic that the "don't tread on me" crowd are the loudest proponents of the wholesale gutting of freedom of the press/speech..
This is in fact, a much better article and (horrifying texan political hellscape aside) the key except is copied here for convenience:
Begin quote: The Texas statute she was charged under made it a crime to solicit non-public information from a government official with an intent to obtain a benefit. Prosecutors alleged she used the information to amass more Facebook followers.
A Texas state court judge in 2018 tossed the charges, finding the law unconstitutionally vague, and she sued in 2019. A judge ruled the officers and prosecutors were entitled to qualified immunity, but a 2-1 panel reversed in 2021.
But in Tuesday's ruling, U.S. Circuit Judge Edith Jones, an appointee of Republican former President Ronald Reagan, said law enforcement officers were not required to predict whether the Texas law at issue was constitutional before arresting her.
Sure has been a trip finding out that I'm the naive one for believing all the things my parents taught me as a kid growing up Christian..
All that "love your neighbor" and "turn the other cheek" stuff went right out the window the second wearing a mask became even the slightest inconvenience. Hard to recognize the people who taught me in Sunday school, now that locking kids up in cages and putting undesirables in camps is part of their media drip.
Sucks a lot.
Truly a heart warming tale! Let's all take a moment to commend the heros who temporarily halted the unstoppable orphan crushing machine.
Yeah? Well that's just like, your opinion, man..
For real though, formatting in word is a nightmare of ribbon-esque proportions.

It's pretty heavily curated, but it's where I go for non-bot discussion on any variety of topics. Sorted hierarchically, and they keep out the riff raff pretty actively.
Unless of course, you're on a movie set and the armorer has called it a cold gun and pointing it towards people is part of the movie.
Then it might be the fault of the person who knowingly co-mingled live and blank ammo in gross disregard for any kind of safety procedures.
Yes if you are handling a firearm, you have a responsibility to know safety procedures. But in film, obviously you have different familiarity levels with weapon handling. That's why you hire an armorer who enforces safety procedures. So non-shooter actors handle prop weapons with blanks.
Now, arguably as a co-producer Alec may have had some culpability in hiring an unqualified armorer? Somehow I doubt he was heavily involved in those kind of nitty gritty hiring decisions. Seems significantly more plausible that those decisions were made by the actual producers who work for a living and not the a-lister who gets titled co-producer for SAGAFTRA billing purposes..
Call me crazy, I know.
Will no one think of the quarterly earnings reports? What the hell is wrong with you people?
