    He can only be sentenced on one of them.
  2. TexasHooch
    He can only be sentenced on one of the charges (Murder 2). 155 months is the presumptive sentence, and he has to do 2/3 of it. State will request an upwards deviation.

    No. They're just going to stop policing. They've already started that tactic.
  4. TexasHooch
    Thank you Jesus.

    You've been consistent on Manslaughter. What swayed you on murder?
  6. TexasHooch
    There's a shit ton of National Guard here. The cameras will find the dipshits who just want to be assholes, but there won't be enough passion to overcome the security unless he's not convicted of murder.

    Hey we're not THAT scandanavian!
  8. TexasHooch
    No shit. I haven't been this nervous since 4th and 5.

    Manslaughter Murder 3 Murder 2

    Welp, if they come back with Not-Guilty you might see that.

    As long as it's got "murder" in the ruling the city will be ok. The city will burn over Manslaughter just as much as it will on Not-Guilty.

    Yup. All activities have been canceled anyway. Wife's headed home with the kids and we'll just have a game night. Wait, shit. Do I have time to go get some beer?

    If they reach a verdict tonight (or any night) they won't announce it until the morning.

    Just made it official. Gonzaga.

    My understanding is that closing arguments are expected to occur on Monday. Deliberations will begin immediately after.
  17. TexasHooch
    Yeah, sorry. Got ahead of myself.

    Chauvin is testifying! I'm a little surprised by that.

    Just re-watched Iron Eagle with my son last week. While it's true that it doesn't hold up for me, I can say unequivocally that my 10 year-old son loved it every bit as much as 11 year-old me did when it came out. Coincidentally, he's a huge fan of Cesnas too, so I was really excited to have been able to find this shirt for him.

    Not normal, but certainly not unheard of. Spring here is nuts. The grass it's snowing on is as green as it can be and the temp was pushing 80 a few days ago.

    The vast majority of national-news police brutality represents the vast minority of police interactions with citizens. I disagree with almost every opinion you just stated as fact, but frankly I'm just not in the mood to defend them right now. The bad cops (whether they represent the majority or minority of them) are fucking up my city.

    Yet several of us, myself included, have been quick devalue the purported danger of working in law enforcement by pointing out that most of their on-the-job deaths are not related to people trying to hurt them. It's not a hill that I care to die on, but it just occurs to me that maybe it's at least worth acknowledging that the emotional dynamics and cumulative effects of dealing with the dangers of logs, power equipment, vehicles, electricity etc. are not the same as the emotional dynamics and cumulative effects of dealing with the dangers of people in escalated situations. It's a different kind of stress. None of this excuses anything of course, but for me it does help understand it a little more.
  24. TexasHooch
    Sure. And alcohol. And suicide.

    https://nleomf.org/facts-figures/causes-of-law-enforcement-deaths You'll see that, in 2019, 53 officers were killed by assault. The real number is likely a little higher than that because it's fair to conclude that a few of the "struck by vehicles" were purposeful. This all very informative, but I'd be a little careful of going to the absolute conclusion of "See, being a cop isn't that dangerous". I haven't seen any apples to apple numbers that detail "US jobs in which you're most likely to die by assault", but I suspect that law enforcement would be way up there.
