Fuck it, I’m protesting today. I don’t care if it’s dangerous. I can’t stand by any longer.

I feel you will be going out this weekend. My knees suck so hopefully nothing bad happens. As our boards resident socialist revolutionary I can't just sit here and allow fascism to take over. Though perhaps I should go to NYC to protest as opposed to keeping it local.

Probably one of the creepiest visuals for me so far. The body language of both predator and prey, the psychological aspect, the visual of the whole scene, you couldn't stage this any better if you tried.

 

The caption reads: "Virginia, USA - June 2020 - Officers from the Richmond Police Dept attempt to diffuse tensions with the community they serve by repeatedly spitting on a detained protestor."

Even if that were the truth, which I can't tell from the video but I wouldn't give them the benefit of the doubt, I'd still find the whole body language and overall visual stark.

I'm no lawyer, but I feel like second degree is risky, whereas third degree would be a slam dunk. Worried we'll be going through this all over again when the dude is acquitted.

 

wasnt 3rd the one people were saying was harder?

Simplified to the core, but...

 

3rd - manslaughter

2nd - intentional

1st - intentional and premeditated

 

1st degree has no chance of a conviction here. Proving intent might be difficult as well, especially with the protection of law enforcement.

OK, I think I get it.

 

In terms of severity (from least severe to most severe) and therefore increasing "difficulty" of obtaining a conviction, the ranking is 3rd --> 2nd --> 1st.

 

yah didnt 3rd degree have some intent behind it that people were saying made it a much harder charge to get convictions.

 

either way more harsh charges are good though.

“The person who pulled the trigger, my message to them would just simply be, just step back from what you’re doing. Know the real reason that you are protesting. Let’s do it in a positive manner,” Powell told the station. “We don’t have to go out and loot and do all the other things.”
