Approximately 80-90% of “assault on a peace officer” charges means the COP was the AGGRESSOR in some way, assaulted someone, and sustained an “injury” by scraping their knee or punching someone and hurting their little fingers Absolutely one of the most BS charges
Remember the expansion of warrantless spying that Biden rammed through Congress and signed into law a week ago despite public outcry? That the FBI had already used to spy on Americans more than 278,000 times? You'll never guess what he's using right now against student protests:

I hope folks who were wary or skeptical of the summer 2020 demand to defund police now understand that police are simply the connective tissue for the state’s ability to actualize repression—not the magical municipal department that would save us all from “crime.”

I know a lot is going on right now, but today is the 10th anniversary of the Flint water crisis, and none of the residents have been paid from the $656 million settlement. theemancipator.org/2024/04/25/env…
In Texas, if you are restrained by a protective order and the protected person comes to your home and calls the police you (the restrained person) will go to jail. The General public does not understand this
In the same week SCOTUS is hearing a case on whether the homeless can be arrested for nothing and whether a President can be arrested for anything. That’s pretty striking.
The weirdest part of being a criminal defense lawyer is when your client alleges that you're ineffective and a prosecutor has to cross examine you for 15 minutes about how great you are
Today, I was once again joined by Brett Schandelson the Director of the Montana Public Defender System. Today, we discussed how he guided the system from a 25% vacancy rate to nearly 0 by implementing workload standards and actually enforcing them!
OMG it’s Claire Danes in Brokedown Palace
In addition to the Trump trial being of a former President, this trial bears little resemblance to how cases usually go in New York & elsewhere. One big difference: That a trial is happening at all. Trials almost never happen anymore. Why? Read on:
Fun fact about the woman who argued at SCOTUS today that cities should be able to basically outlaw being homeless: "Ms. Evangelis was also appointed recently by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to the Los Angeles County Blue Ribbon Commission on Homelessness."
@Snowden Here are the 60 Senators who—bolstered by a lie about a phony deadline—decided to vote away our Fourth Amendment rights late on a Friday night when no one was paying attention.
The House has voted to approve unconstitutional, warrantless searches of Americans' communications. Now the Senate has too—late on Friday, after the media had gone home. Only the President can stop it from becoming law, and he won't—because he's the one that asked for it. 🦅🇺🇸
Sexual assault is evil, but false accusations happen, and so those accused also need their rights defended in a country that believes that you are innocent until proven otherwise. Biden rolling back those protections is bad. 1/
What’s going to be an unintended result of Columbia having their students arrested is they’re about to expose a bunch of middle and upper middle class families to how NYPD, cash bail, and Rikers are weaponized against people in this city everyday.
🚨 We have a significant update regarding the potential reform of Federal Rule of Evidence 609, which is perhaps the most controversial evidentiary rule currently in effect. And, unfortunately, the update isn't great for those hoping for change. Another 🧵
