"This case is the sad tale of police officers, clothed with the awesome power of the state, run amok."
So writes Federal Judge ALGENON L. MARBLEY in describing the actions of the Columbus, Ohio police during last summer's protests against police violence. (https://www.nbc4i.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2021/04/real-order.pdf p. 2).
After concluding that the plaintiff-protesters have a strong likelihood of success on the merits of their claims of excessive and unconstitutional force, the Judge granted a preliminary injunction which:
"Marbley also ordered that officers be restrained from using other weapons and tactics such as flash-bang grenades, rubber bullets, body slams or kettling against nonviolent protesters. Officers must ensure that police vehicle cameras and body cameras are in "good working order" when interacting with nonviolent protesters.
Officers must also allow individuals legitimately displaying identifiers as press, media, reporter, paramedic or legal observer to record protests and to assist those who appear to be injured, Marbley ruled.
The ruling was made in favor of 26 plaintiffs who sued the city after taking part in demonstrations over the summer, according to NBC4. They allege that officers responded to nonviolent protesters with excessive force through the use of pepper spray, tear gas, sound cannons, batons and wooden bullets."

This type of "police riot" was a typical response to the protests last year.
The problem is, though, the policemen can’t take 100% of the blame on this.
There’s so much polarisation and friction on the whole issue, wrong choices (arming the police to the teeth, giving them tasks which shouldn’t be handed to the police services), warped expectations of what is humanly possible, unclear goals and sweeping generalisations, that it’s an accident waiting to happen.

He was confirmed by the US Senate in 1997 by a 91-0 vote. https://www.democrats.senate.gov/10/27/1997/senate-roll-call-vote-00279-8
Heck, even Strom Thurmond voted "Yea". https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=105&session=1&vote=00279
@no1marauder
Finally, we get people looking at the bigger problem, police brutality.
I understand that black people are treated brutally, but so are whites. and that is a level of argument I welcome.
Let's hash it out.

The issues of police brutality and systemic racism in law enforcement can both be addressed.
@no1marauder saidthis judge doesnjt have the authority to set police policy, he is usurping the power delegated to elected officials....that he inserted himself in this manner makes him an activist.

Judges have authority to rule on what are violations of the People's rights and to prevent government agencies from employing tactics that do so.

@no1marauder saidI gather that you are not a fan of having police officers in a city? Well then how do you explain a reverse situation. This person in Des Rimas (Who in the heck would live in a town called Des Rimas, I cannot imagine).

Anyway, google ‘deputy’s body cam captures racist tirade’ , I don’t know how to link using a cell phone.
What do you think, She is obviously a liberal because she says “ you’ll never be white, you know that, right?” A dead giveaway when someone says ‘you know that right’. Standard liberal slang.
Tell us what you do not like about the police officer who pulled over this person who violated the law. Of course I think you may have a different definition of law than I do?
@mott-the-hoople saidThe idea that police should be immune from any judicial review is more appropriate for a totalitarian dictatorship than a democratic republic based on Lockean principles of individual rights.
as I said...an activist judge
@no1marauder saidwe have a jury system for such cases as this...this judge of yours is being totalitarian in his actions.
The idea that police should be immune from any judicial review is more appropriate for a totalitarian dictatorship than a democratic republic based on Lockean principles of individual rights.
@no1marauder saidYou are right!

Good thing police officers in the USA have ALWAYS been subject to judicial review.
(I'm sure you'll find some nit-picky BS to contradict that)
