This is the kind of thing that would lose them support of a lot of the police. It would still be a right wing military based in the city, but right wing ≠ maga

I don’t think they have a chance of holding just NYC but I think every major US city would suddenly be in open revolt if they did this.

I can really see going after the ones who started it in the case you mentioned, even though their guy died. That feels like a tough row to hoe for the persecution, though.

I wonder o of the jury would have more likely to convict if it was a bystander who died.

IANAL and I’m not real clear on DC law but I think the argument was that Mr ice felt like he was being attacked because of the sandwich, not that the sandwich was causing real harm. So even though there was contact the throwing of the sandwich was a threat, making it assault.

This wasn’t nullification. The sandwich throw clearly isn’t assault. No crime was committed here.

Clearly the other two were crimes. I’m skeptical they have the right guy for either, but I haven’t seen the evidence and the jury will.

The jury I was on the things that the officer said about the video were blatantly false. In the beginning he was lying about irrelevant things, and be the end he was lying about exactly the charge.

They likely collected them and they weren’t drugs.
