Absolutely amazing jury decision and idiocy by police

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea for the MPD to drive down a city street with no lights or sirens tagging dudes with rubber bullets like gangbangers doing a drive by?
I can absolutely understand why, after days worth of riots and violence, this guy thought he was being shot at by criminals.
Arguably, the cops were criminals at that moment.
Truth is I’m glad it ended up this way.
Cops step outside their lawful authority, get slotted, and the citizen shooter goes free claiming self defense, next time the cops pay more attention to staying inside the lines.
Good jury decision, terrible MPD decision.
Also, hitting a moving vehicle from across a street after taking a round to the chest is some damn fine shooting.
Helpful cop is helpful.

And that is your laugh for the day.
What did you do at work today?
Consider that to become a Sign Language Interpreter, you generally need at least an associates degree in ASL, a National Interpreter Certification, and a state license to practice.
Then you get to do this:

Constitutional protections do not apply to political undesirables
From The Hill:
Minnesota Supreme Court denies Chauvin request for public defender in George Floyd murder appeal
The Minnesota Supreme Court on Wednesday denied Derek Chauvin’s request for a public defender as the former Minneapolis police officer prepares to appeal his murder conviction in the death of George Floyd.
Chief Justice Lorie Gildea signed an order that said Chauvin failed to prove that he qualifies for representation from a public defender, according to the Star Tribune.
The court determined that Chauvin did not illustrate that he was too poor to pay for a private attorney. Gildea did not, however, reveal further details regarding his assets or debts, according to the Star Tribune.
The chief justice wrote in the order, citing state law, that a defendant is considered too poor to provide their own lawyer if they, “through any combination of liquid assets and current income,” are not able to finance their own attorney.
The former police officer claimed in an affidavit that he has no earnings other than nominal prison wages he has received, according to The Associated Press. He contended that his debts are larger than his assets.
Chauvin also said he does not currently have legal representation for his appeal.
According to the Sixth Amendment:
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
The right to counsel is one of the few, in only, positive rights in the Constitution.
Chauvin is in jail, he’s not a cop anymore, and he probably went bankrupt paying for his last defense.
But the Progressives on the Minnesota Supreme Court have decided to deny him a public defender because he’s an undesirable.
This is effectively denying him his Sixth Amendment guarantee to right to counsel if he can’t find an attorney to work pro bono. And we all know that any attorney who agreed to take Chauvin’s case pro bono will be harassed by the mob for being a white supremacist.
It it more clear everyday that rights are only for the politically favored. We are living in a Progressive Banana Republic.
