    We should fulfill the right's wet dream and get rid of govt altogether.

    So when someone calls the privatized police, the rep can ask would you like to pay with cash, check or money order.

    Nope, not even a little bit of truth here.

    No, democrat medicare and social security would be things other people pay for. I don't pay into social security but if I do ever use medicare it will be what I have already paid for.

    Im surprised you have to strawman so far into the future. Might as well bring it closer to present day and ask how I feel about breathing in Democrat clean air. LOL

    Stop driving clown cars. You look too good in them

    The mother making a phone call to 911 and then seeing her holding a knife while still talking to the dispatcher while the so is moving aggressively towards the officer is reasonable cause to put him in handcuffs until the officer figured out what was going on. The officer did not know the son was schizophrenic at the time she arrived at the home.

    Remember, they now leave their cars unlocked so as the criminals can more easily pick it clean, have a place to lay their weary heads and a cozy place to take a dump or piss ;)

    Not one thing is going on in California, that is not going on in every state of the union. The fact is that this case was prosecuted in California. What we learn from this is that at least one juror of of the lot, was not convinced that the burden of proof was met to convict a defendant in a criminal trial. It happens in every single state of the union. Vire dire is not just science, its also about the luck of who ends being called and sitting there. Its about how honest and forthright each and every juror is in response to questions. Its about the quality of the lawyers, and their gut intuition. And its about the interdynamics in that jury room. Who convinces who, and who butts heads.

    We have not been at this trial, we do not know what the discussions were inside that room, and which facts deemed important, and which insignificant. We do not know which witnesses were believed and which were not, and we don't know exactly what these jurors were thinking they saw while they watched that tape.

    Trees grow in California. Trees grow in every state in the union. Finding one that is diseased probably tells us nothing about the state that it is sitting in.

    San Bernardino is 56% Hispanic and always ranks high in the top most dangerous cities in the country.

    Hold on, what...He was schizophrenic?
    This is on the mother not telling the cops, I mean wtf. Keep the cops out of family business and afford the needed medical care! This is an argument for universal health care!

    The title is so misleading, he got off on a medical technicality, because it literally wasn't him doing that.

    Ill tell you whats going on in California...Actual consistent application of the law is whats going on. Bravo. Society wont benefit from him being in prison because of the precedent it will set.

    I feel terrible for the officer. Gdanm that is traumatizing. She needs to be paid.

    Its cute that you think it will be there in its current form. When there are two workers for each retiree, just how much expect the workers to pay? This is one of the real reasons the deep state wants so many illegals, they can pay for SS/Medicare but never collect. In any event, I sure as hell did not plan my retirement with any SS/Medicare in it. The only thing that I need to have an easy retirement is to have the federal government not to raid my 401Ks and Roth IRAs. This is the thing that keeps me up at night.

    As if there was a 56% Hispanic jury.

    You don't leave anything in your car or use a shield over the rear compartment in an SUV, and leave the glove box open.
    If you spend a night in SF all you hear all night are sirens - and if it is a full moon you open your window to hear the junkies scream...

    Did you bother the read anything before coming to the (completely obvious) criminals defense?


    California man who pummeled, shot at female deputy found not guilty despite video of attack
    Former San Bernardino County Sheriff's Deputy Meagan McCarthy says jammed gun saved her life

    That’s only the headline.

    Why the **** would any taxpaying citizen of our country defend a criminal’s “RIGHT TO BE A CRIMINAL, WITH OBVIOUS SIGNS THEY ARE A CRIMINAL” before they actually commit a criminal act??

    What happened to see “something, say something?”

    Now imagine this truth:
    It’s your birthing person, or your genetically changed whatever, about to be attacked by someone similar to this exact situation, what do they do to avoid a SERIOUS attack in this situation?


    Be serious in your response, don’t make me post the MANY, MANY examples of ordinary INNOCENT citizens I have stored.

    A legally complicated case. :(

    The suspect "Ari Young" has mental health issues.
    Officer McCarthy hid behind a bush after Ari stole her gun and fired.
    But Ari obviously shot in the opposite direction.

    In addition, officer McCarthy acted unlawfully because she tried to detain an innocent person during investigation.

    "It looks really bad at first glance," said Young's defense attorney.

    More about that case can be found here: https://abc7.com/victorville--san-bernardino-county-sheriffs-deputy-found-not-guilty/13352182/

    If they want to defend criminals and their politicians who are working hard to defund the police, so be it.

    They can’t have it both ways though: when one of their loved ones are attacked by those same criminals, and the defunded police are left with no funds to bring those particular criminals to justice, they can thank the corrupt politicians that they voted for, (and let’s not forget: those same politicians have around the clock ARMED security) for the situation they NEVER THOUGHT could happen to them.

    Ironic right, because they are voting for this exact situation to happen, just not to them.

    It seems like they were applying the popular concept that an American has an almost unconditional right to self-defence on their own property. Maybe some people will finally realise that isn't as good an idea in practice as it might sound.

    On the face of it, this verdict was flawed, though if it was as obviously and unquestionably flawed as is being suggested here, why wouldn't the prosecution be able to convince the jury of that? I suspect, as is usually the case with this kind of report, it isn't quite as straight forward as the media want to make you think (because they can't get you angry with nuance and angry reactions give them the most engagement, which makes them more money).

    Either way, he is still been found guilty of crimes and, given the suggestion that this came about due to serious mental health issues, that should provide scope for his to receive the kind of treatment he needs in a secure environment. Unfortunately, I very much doubt that will happen, and what he was actually convicted of wouldn't make any difference to that.
