1. The key to ending the kind of police conduct that led to the assassination of Geroge Floyd is having prosecutors willing to bring the charge and push for sentence enhancements when warranted. The Police and Prosecutors are not part of the same club. In a homicide
2. case the prosecutors represent the community but that includes victim who has no voice but theirs at trial.

And before anyone rips this judge for the sentence one way or another, we should read the order. If anyone sees it I would be obliged to them for the link.
3. We're presently witnessing our newly elected Honolulu City Prosecutor Steve Alm charge police officers in a fatal shooting with murder despite the fact the grand jury did not indict. They started the preliminary hearing proceedings today. Alm was Clinton's US Attorney here.
4. Fix the prosecutors and you will fix the police.

1. On Rudy: When you're admitted to practice of law you accept that your speech will be subject to prior restraints. You have to self-censor, or you can get into trouble. The significance of Rudy Giuliani's interim suspension is that the lies that have flooded American
2. discourse are "lies" and judicial officers who possess equitable powers that are not easily subject to majoritarian legislative fiat, can call a lie a lie and the attorney representing the lying attorney faces the same mine field if they continue the fraud on the courts.
3. Attorney discipline is a place where none of the nonsense is tolerated. Why is this so important? Because litigation is coming against the forces that caused the attack on the Capitol. This propaganda industry played a critical role in the attack by

Hahanoy Holding: Held: While public schools may have a special interest in regulating some off-campus student speech, the special interests offered by the school are not sufficient to overcome B. L.’s interest in free expression in this case.

Unanimous #SCOTUS throws out NCAA Rules that restrict educational related player compensation. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
From Kavanaugh's concurrence:

The rest of the NCAA’s compensation rules are not at issue here and therefore remain on the books. Those remaining compensation rules generally restrict student athletes from receiving compensation or benefits from their colleges for playing sports. And those rules have also

1. "Russian Foreign Affairs Spokeswoman Mariya Zakharova said Turkey's presence in Afghanistan would be contrary to an agreement reached between the United States and the Taliban."

2. I couldn't figure out why Putin is acting like the Taliban's jailhouse lawyer. Then it hit me. IMO Putin is planning to again flood Europe with desperate Moslem refugees as part of his long-range plan to destabilize the Western democracies.
3. @POTUS Joe Biden may think the US has no need to stay in Afghanistan but when the slaughter starts Europe is where the flood of refugees will head not the US. @GermanyDiplo and others in Europe may want to consider if they have an interest in in avoiding a repeat of
