Cruel

We didn't know if Floyd was killed though until autopsies, whereas we know Thompson was shot intentionally on camera.

They managed to with Derek Chauvin, and the public prejudice was much worse, even from public officials. Their mayor also called him a killer.

Nothing has to be run for profit.

And it's an irrelevant statement. A non-profit healthcare outfit would still be responsible for saving and taking life.

I'm a software engineer with only a little legal background.

I'm none of the other things you listed. Most the prisoners I help are not pedophiles. And I only manage my product's server cluster because I don't have money yet to hire anyone. I'm not good at devops or networking. 🤷

Both in this particular case, I'm doing it pro se. I can't legally represent anyone, so I represent myself when the need arises and provide assistance to others who cannot afford help, usually prisoners. I'm focusing on 8th amendment violations such as excessive force claims and poor prison conditions. It's a useful form of activism, even if a suit is not ultimately successful. It costs them either way.

It is difficult to prove willful violation of rights (required for a criminal case) which is why it doesn't happen often, even while people's rights are violated routinely.

That's two or more people conspiring to violate rights. People still routinely have their Constitutional rights violated and it's not criminal. I'm literally litigating a § 1983 federal lawsuit right now. It's rarely criminal. Just stop spreading misinformation.

You're under the mistaken belief that it's criminal to violate Constitutional rights.

I blame people more than Microsoft. People were either duped or too lazy to say "Microsoft Teams" in full. It's not too crazy to have services like "Apple Music" because people aren't allowing Apple to control the word by just saying "Music" casually. People need to go back to saying "Microsoft Teams." Alas, it will never happen. 😒

Republicans know that gun usage causes mass shootings. This post ignores the fact that Republicans are not wanting to criminalize Tylenol usage in the way people want to criminalize gun ownership.

Just like pregnant women are advised not to take Tylenol, people are mandated by law to not kill innocent people with guns. There is nothing inconsistent.

Pretty sure they didn't commit a crime. And it's not uncommon for these things to happen in high profile cases. A "fair trial" is very difficult.
