The Laws Exist to Protect White Conservatives.
A Black Man Would Never Have Been Acquitted on a Self-Defense Claim.

A man who attempted to kill a cop -- who was raiding the home of his girlfriend -- pled self-defense. And was acquitted.

The media won't cover this, even though it's now highly relevant to the claim they're making that a black man could never successfully plead self-defense, never ever ever.

Oh -- and he's a felon.

A Gifford man who claimed he was defending himself and his girlfriend when he fired shots at deputies during an early-morning raid in 2017 was acquitted Friday of charges that carried a life prison term.
A jury found Andrew "A.J." Coffee IV, 27, not guilty of second-degree felony murder, three counts of attempted first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer by discharging a firearm and one count of shooting or throwing a deadly missile.
In a separate proceeding Friday, the same jury convicted Coffee IV of one count of possession of a firearm by a felon.

And how much White Privilege does Mr. Coffee enjoy, I wonder?

How much White Supremacy does he benefit from?

So he was a felon illegally in possession of a gun. He got convicted of that -- there's no way to avoid that.

But the jury acquitted him of attempted murder of a cop.

I wonder if he cried White Tears on the stand.

There was an incident in '88 ('89?) in Titusville where the cops pulled a no knock raid on a house. Apparently the 16 yr old that lived there was selling dime bags. The PD kicked down the front door and charged in unannounced and the dad pulled out his couch gun and shot the first one in and killed him. There was a big flashy trial but he was found not guilty.

I recall a similar one, but I think it was in VA. And the guy *did* go to prison, and it was completely ridiculous. Also, he was white.

This guy had no criminal involvement, but an estranged girlfriend falsely reported him for being a large-scale drug dealer. With no evidence (since there was no crime), a squad of plainclothes detectives (smart) executed a no-knock raid (even smarter). All of them (three, IIRC) were wounded or killed within about two seconds of booting his door in.

I wonder if a no-knock raid, especially when pulled in the wee hours of the night, shouldn't be considered excessive force *by definition*. How can it result in anything other than violence and chaos, risking *everyone* involved? The military is supposed to kill people and break things. The police are supposed to apprehend suspects (no matter how suspicious) and make sure they are presented to... a judge and jury.

I wonder if a no-knock raid, especially when pulled in the wee hours of the night, shouldn't be considered excessive force *by definition*. How can it result in anything other than violence and chaos, risking *everyone* involved? The military is supposed to kill people and break things. The police are supposed to apprehend suspects (no matter how suspicious) and make sure they are presented to... a judge and jury.

My favorite is when they not knock the wrong house, throw a flash bang in a baby's face....kill the wrong guy....receive "qualified" immunity so there can be on legal redress or accountability....and then pretend like they're the good guys.

The police are a standing army of wannabe military who aren't even brave enough to want armed enemies....and cry when their enemies are armed or use their same tactics, calling them "cowards." FOH

The problem in this country, is that anyone thinks they have the right to control anyone, for anything, if it doesn't affect them immediately and directly.... laws passed by execs paying their political buddies so they all get rich.

No-knock raids came about in the War On Drugs, because of the worry that hammering on a Colombian drug smuggler's compound would be greeted with gunfire. Those raids were successful, but the raids were then used at crack houses to keep evidence and cash from disappearing don the toilet or out the back door. Then it was used on possible home dealing.... Abuse of a tactic by reverse-averse police chiefs looking for high profile busts instead of doing police work to serve a warrant. The road to paramilitary police didn't suddenly happen.

Unfortunately, that describes a lot of people. Most on the left wanted a conviction to support their narrative. Most on the right wanted an acquittal as they saw this as a Second Amendment and self defense issue for the nation at large. Then there were people who were genuinely concerned for the well-being of Kyle Rittenhouse.

It's good to understand the overall repercussions of the outcome of the trial and the seriousness of it, but, you cannot lose sight of the primary responsibility, which is defend one's client to the best of one's ability.

182 my occasional reminder that Anatomy of a Murder is awesome.

In it, Joseph Bologna kills the rapist of his wife (Lee Remick).

He consults with small-town laywer Jimmy Stewart, claiming justification. Jimmy Stewart plays this awesome character who is this folksy type but he's super-shrewd a cynical, too. Stewart tells him there's no justification defense when the crime has been over for an hour, but then lays out the four possible defenses, noting that none of them apply. One, he says, COULD apply, maybe, but Bologna hasn't said anything about it, temporary insanity.

He thus basically tells Bologna to lie without explicitly telling him to lie.

The state sends down George C. Scott to prosecute. The movie is a duel between Scott, who is this arrogant city slicker type, and it's very funny watching Stewart play up his gee gosh willickers cornpone act to ingratiate himself to the judge and jury while Scott absolutely FUMES.

187 my occasional reminder that Anatomy of a Murder is awesome.

In it, Joseph Bologna kills the rapist of his wife (Lee Remick).

He consults with small-town laywer Jimmy Stewart, claiming justification. Jimmy Stewart plays this awesome character who is this folksy type but he's super-shrewd a cynical, too. Stewart tells him there's no justification defense when the crime has been over for an hour, but then lays out the four possible defenses, noting that none of them apply. One, he says, COULD apply, maybe, but Bologna hasn't said anything about it, temporary insanity.

He thus basically tells Bologna to lie without explicitly telling him to lie.

The state sends down George C. Scott to prosecute. The movie is a duel between Scott, who is this arrogant city slicker type, like Binger except Not Gay, and it's very funny watching Stewart play up his gee gosh willickers cornpone act to ingratiate himself to the judge and jury while Scott absolutely FUMES.

Now, I drink one cup in the morning and that's it. If I have more later on, I feel awful and way too jittery. Not complaining, one more place I save money.

Neither a baby nor my client has the ability to understand things like danger, intent, or the value of lives other than his own. You must consider my client to be a 50-year-old baby in the situation at issue. Because that is what he is in daily life, if guns are around or not. How can you convict a baby of anything?

I think if you're looking for an "electric" pressure cooker, your choice is an insta-pot, period. I'd first look at places like Williams-Sonoma and Sur LaTable, to learn the high-end brands and prices, then work your way backwards. I'm leery of the Chinese stuff on amazon TBH.

I would recommend a good old fashioned stove-top pressure cooker unless you specifically need an electric one. Fagor and Zavor are fantastic. Mine is probably 25 years old, and now that they have silicone gaskets, the biggest issue is gone (the rubber ones used to go hard and leak after a year or so).

But, you can't make french fries etc. with a regular pressure cooker. Pressure cookers are unparalleled for making stock, you can wring every last drop of flavor out of those bones.

319 315: Oh I can believe it. Prosecution "Mr Coffee caused the death of his girlfriend by firing at LEOs, forcing them to fire back and causing his girlfriend to be killed"

But unless they were responding to a 911 call of him holding her hostage, they had no business breaking down the door and charging in with weapons drawn instead of presenting the warrant and searching for drugs or evidence. I don't want unarmed bobbies like the UK, but no knock raids and when I read raid I fill in the no knock. If they just showed up to serve a normal warrant, even with plenty of backup in case of the suspected perp turning violent that would not be a raid IMO.

330 I wonder how many people have been killed or injured in no knock raids in the past 10 years? I'm sure many of the criminals were jumpy, thinking a rival gang was busting in to steal their stash, or exact revenge vs thinking this was the cops. Many of those would probably have figured their lawyer would get them off and not gone to using deadly force just for a warrant search.

And of course almost all of the wrong addressees would be thinking that a busting down door is some violent home invasion and they need to defend their castle or they and family will be killed by the thugs breaking in.

338 The idiots stoking this "what if Rittenhouse was Black" argument don't seem to understand they are actually arguing Rittenhouse's innocence. Consider the premise: All other facts of the case being the same, a jury would have convicted Black Rittenhouse because of systemic ArmeriKKKan Racism, and this would be a miscarriage of justice. Get that? The only reason Hypothetical Black Rittenhouse gets convicted for the same charges is because of his race... a non-racist jury would presumably have acquitted Black Rittenhouse, just as they acquitted Actual Rittenhouse.

339 331: Problem is the police don't bear the brunt of the badness when there is an address error and they bust into some normal's house. They have body armor and flash bangs and whatnot. And if they settle for a wrongful death case, that doesn't come out of their own pockets, the taxpayers foot the bills.

I tend to 'back the blue.' But when police have a swat department they're going to use that 'tool'. And that's OK if they have to roll up against a fortified cartel meth lab. But when they are allowed to conduct no-knock warrants with the swat team on John Doe's house because Doe is suspected of peddling a few drugs, our constitutional rights and people's safety are both trampled on. I suspect there could be 1/10th the # of swat teams in the country and local police could bring in a team for the few cases where swat tactics are actually called for. And yes, even for those cases they should announce as police rather than just breaking down a door,
