Therefore, you are unable to demonstrate that each of the elements of my rebuttal are flawed or wrong, and just going to parrot worn-out thread characterizations her actions that are either immaterial, emotive colloquialisms, or mangled understands of law and legal terms (e.g. the term "reckless...

While I have no idea of whom you speak, a random military veteran with some kind of unspecified "reflexive response" training doesn't have a thimble of credibility compared to the clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. Laurence Miller and his explanation of action error as a state of mind. It's...

If you're going to ignore my rebuttals to these worn-out thread points and cling to this immaterial and sometimes irrational narrative, as some here stubbornly do, there isn't a point to us exchanging views. So, as I have already written: 1. The amount of training Ms. Potter received isn't...

You've been making a very persuasive case, as you do above. I agree. The nations of eastern Europe and Ukraine have NO desire to become tributary states to Russia. They all have seen and continue to see their economic and security future with the West, with Europe. None of the Soviet Union's...

Assuming you aware of current events, you should know how many more people die from FENT overdoses than from being placed in a prone position. The differences are probably 100,000 to 1,000,000 to one. Now that is "amazing". Moreover, if you look at research studies on the prone position its a...

The least important answer to that is to remember that lots of people die of cardo-pulmonary events when just resting. The much more important point, however, is to remember that GF simply hadn't been resting when the trouble started: a) George Floyd had downed a large quantity of Fent in his...

I think it has an element of that. But I think it is, for some, a failure of imagination. One example: I've had a circle of personal friends who keep in touch by email. Most of us range from moderate to conservative. In 2014 or so we got into a passionate email exchange over prosecutors...

And all of your comment is based on the predicate that training guarantees that a person can't make an error, even under extreme and immediate stress, because why? Because you believe you're immune to it so must she be? That muscle memory is perfect and never fails? That "action error" (aka slip...

However, if you do a deep dive into the case you will find that Chauvin's actions were not, beyond a reasonable doubt, actually asphyxiating Floyd and that the three-minute meme's length of time was a falsehood invented by the prosecution (the time period of the Chauvin's alleged asphyxiation...

First, her actions under Minnesota law and the evidence provided, did not meet the criminal requirement for "recklessness". Two, "she should have known better" is a civil law criteria for negligence, but recklessness is a concept under criminal law ('culpable negligence') which requires the...

At the risk of starting a tangential discussion of the Chauvin case, you should also note that aside from unsupported opinion there was little evidence, save for one expert witness, that the death could be confidently attributed to an unlawful killing. The County ME initially made no ruling...

Some of you seem unduly concerned about the makeup of the jury. If it is because you are fearful that a white jury won't convict, rest assured, they will. Aside from the political dynamics, the defense seems pretty certain they are getting a stacked jury - if only because they found it very...

SUSTAINED.

Of course you have a right not to be killed. And when you are, your rights will be violated. Give us a shout if that happens, I'll be behind you 100 percent.

Surely if you place enough restrictions and make them expensive enough over generation we might be able to reduce the supply by 80 to 90 percent. You would be in opposition to that?

She is an airhead, and treated as such by Trump.

In anticipation of your post, a few comments. There are, or should be, mechanisms that temper democratic choice. The founders understood and feared forms of direct democracy that allowed the avarice and emotions of the majority to directly implement law. And, as we all know, they created...

True. However a few clarifications: First, the LA Times electoral prediction was made by IGNORING their tracking poll. Clearly they did not believe it. Second, the LA tracking poll was actually as bad or worse as many other polls. While the LA Times poll has deservedly become a far more...

As Bill Clinton found out, those suits don't stop just because he is President. Rest assured, he will have to testify sometime in the next four years.

My take on tonight's shockers: 1) Much of this played exactly as expected. Nevada, slightly leaning Clinton, went robustly to Clinton. Colorado, a key state, was also secure for Clinton. Virginia, as expected, also went for Clinton. Florida and NC were tossup states that (in Nate Silver's...
