"public safety operation"
Journalists are going to sanitize their own executions. Wish we had a real Fourth Estate that would challenge political branding rather than stenograph it.

special public safety operation!
Reuters just did that.
IDF bombed a reuters journalist, but they reported what IDF said as the headline, claiming their target was a Hamas camera... It was their camera.
Journalists are going to sanitize their own executions.
Already happening in Gaza
This is why one of their major targets is due process.
Fucking maddening how so many Latinos voted for Trump because "they got in the right way", not realising that they'd end up getting randomly stopped and deported "because they fit the profile".
It never pays to throw in your lot with white supremicists, they'll always turn on you.
I mean.....I don't think you can say they'll turn on you. That implies they supported you at one point.
White supremicists have ALWAYS been against you, if you're not also white, male, and a white supremicist.
Just because you support them, does not mean they support you. To modify a George Carlin quote:
"It's a big club, and you ~~ain't in it~~ don't want to be in it."
They'll make temporary alliances if it furthers their goals. That's why they like Israel while they're actually antisemites, because that way you can go after Muslims more easily.
A big part of it is obviously the dog shit messaging from the Democrats. They don't want to be seen as critical of the police, so I haven't seen anyone mention the reality of racist cops conducting traffic stops based on racial profiling leading to the current situation, and the assumption they had of Latinos being one singular voting block that is always in favour of open borders, instead of a whole bunch of different groups from different countries with an immigration background that ranges from recent arrivals to people that have lived in the same place for centuries and have actually had the US illegally annex them.
They'll make temporary alliances if it furthers their goals. That's why they like Israel while they're actually antisemites, because that way you can go after Muslims more easily.
They like Israel because Revelations says the Jews returning to the Holy Land is a precondition for Armageddon and they think they're gonna get Raptured. It's literally a delusional death cult.

Everyone finishes watching the video.
Prosecutor: So, you can clearly see the assault take place. Does everyone agree?
Jurors: I didn't see anything. Did you guys see anything? Nope. Not a thing. Who wants a sandwich?
I'd like a sandwich, but I didn't see any laws broken
All I saw was a hero.
Well clearly the sandwich is guilty of public indecency, you can see its condiments.
Also the ICE agents are disturbing the peace.

This just in: Grand Jury fails to indict a ham sandwich.
They didn't fail. They did their job.
Agreed, they did to their jobs, it's just a joke on the old saying that "a Grand Jury could indict a ham sandwich."
Ham sandwich ✔
Sub sandwich ✖
We need more data to determine exactly which kinds of sandwiches are indictable. Throw more!

shortly after he was fired from the Justice Department, where he worked as an international affairs specialist in the department’s criminal division
The cop, who investigates cops, was so pissed off that he just threw the first thing he could get a hold of...
I can't even come up with a proper analogy for how far off the rails this is.
It's good to know there might be some people like that still in there...
If you've seen the video, you'd see that this man was pissed. Full of righteous anger... And everyone else on the street, including the people filming, just thought it was funny. Just fucking clueless.
The cop, who investigates cops
That's internal affairs. Your quote says international affairs.
Whoops... You're right.
I'm using the fact that I've been awake for 20 hours as an excuse for my lack of reading abilities.
I shall leave my mistake there to remind me to go to sleep. (After Doom scrolling for a few hours...)

Last time I reacted to this Pirro quote by saying it was indeed very funny:
“He thought it was funny,” Ms. Pirro said of the defendant in a video posted online. “Well, he doesn’t think it’s funny today, because we charged with him with a felony.”
I just want to say, it has gone up a level to "hilarious" now that they can't even get a grand jury on their side
And there's that saying that a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich.... oh the irony.

Fuck AP for calling this a “public safety operation”. That is absolutely not a neutral way to report this. Fascist loving bootlickers. AP is a right wing rag.

Bwahahaha. Did the officer even say thank you for the sandwich?
"Public safety operation."
Way to buy into the bullshit, there, AP.
Prosecutors fail to indict sandwich thrower in Trump's Washington public safety operation
Besides the good news in the story, can we just take a moment to appreciate the absurdity of the title itself? I love it
Mild doxx, I've served on a DC Grand Jury before. You're commuting to the courthouse for 3 weeks minimum, though only 3 days a week. Most of the people are not getting compensated from their job to be there, just some money for the Metro.
The standard of evidence to indict is much lower, basically "it's believable that the accused could be guilty of the charges". Caught on camera is quite believable, the key here is "the charges". If the charges don't fit the crime, a jury that's paying attention wouldn't indict . I'm 80% sure indictment is a majority vote, didn't have to be unanimous.
Generally the prosecution is presenting evidence and calling law enforcement officers to testify, the defendant sending a lawyer is optional (expensive). You get a mostly one-sided argument, but these are all people who live in DC; some well off but most kinda poor. It's DC so both categories do not like Trump. If they believe somebody is committing crimes in DC they'll happily indict; but most cases indict, it feels good to cancel the case when someone doesn't deserve it.
This dude, himself, worked at the Justice Department. I'm sure he was able to get some very good representation.

This is all hilarious of course, but that sandwich thrower would probably be dead if he wasn’t white.
You're right for now. I think they'll stop caring by Christmas, as long as they oppose the administration, they're a threat.

Federal Prosecutors used Felony Indictment against sandwich tosser.
It's not very effective...
Its almost as if the majority of us have decided the current trumpism is wrong. Almost.
We need to start doing a trump hand check. Well maybe, it'll probably just give us too much hope.
On Tuesday, YouTuber Keith Edwards — a former staffer for the anti-Trump Lincoln Project — posted a side-by-side comparison of Trump’s hand during a Monday event and the hand of the late Queen Elizabeth II during an audience with then-prime minister Liz Truss.
Edwards noted that the photograph of the late Queen with Truss was taken just two days before she passed, ending more than 70 years on the British throne.
You're playing with my emotions.
Then you get JD Vance, who's even more in the pocket of right-wing think tanks and billionaires. If there's a Vance presidency, It'll pretty much be run by people like Thiel, Yarvin and Ellison.
Until congress fixes the damage done by Citizens United, everything else is just going to be a bandage. Maybe if the FPTP voting system and the electoral college go away, but that's even harder to do. I don't think America needs a good or strong president. It needs congress to do its job by reigning in the two other branches that have gone off the rails, but it's also controlled by openly corrupt right-wing representatives.

In semi-related news, the DC spitter had charges reduced to misdemeanors after 3 different grand juries returned no true bill. In federal court, there is a 30 day deadline after arrest to secure an indictment or your felony charges get dismissed.
Lotta great sub sandwich places in Chicago
This is going to be framed as liberal juries nullifying just to be mean to poor old President Trump.
