Precipice

Posted in Abuse of Power, Being woke, Bribes, Cancel Culture, Communist Takover, Crime, FOC, Uncategorized by

Precipice : a very steep rock face or cliff, especially a tall one. As many English words, it was borrowed from the French. From the word, we have developed the saying, on the precipice, which might not actually have anything to do with the lay of the land. That is to say, we might use the phrase to indicate that we are near a massive change, should we continue on. We might also say, if we keep going that way, we just might fall off a cliff.

Some of us, when we are told that we are headed toward a dangerous precipice, we will take note. This is true regardless if it is a physical or a figurative danger. Some simply will not heed the danger. Some go on and when they go off the cliff, they wonder why didn’t someone tell me?

Well, right here, right now someone is here to tell you. If you keep going, it’s your fault.

There are thousands of counties in the US. Each county has a prosecuting attorney of some kind. Of course, each county has a court and the means to try people who disobey the law. Sometimes these prosecutors get things wrong. Sometimes, they prosecute the wrong people. Sometimes, they prosecute when there is no crime.

Hopefully, we have judges and juries that keep such prosecutors in check. Then again these prosecutors can become determined to lock up someone simply because he dosn’t like the guy. Maybe he doesn’t like the way he combs his hair or what kind of cap he wears. Sometimes it does become political. That is the precipice of which I am writing.

When a man is elected to office, be he Republican or democrat, there are thousands of prosecutors that are of the opposite party. And so, the Republican is in danger of being charged by the democrat and the democrat is in danger of being charged by the Republicans. Hence, there is danger whoever is sworn in.

It is likely the reason that the forefathers wrote the Constitution so that the only way a president can be removed from office is by impeachment. It is why they were careful as to how this can be done. It would appear the democrats have found an end around process. Now, they not only charge President Trump, but also everyone who has been around him. It is the Midas touch in reverse.

Then, of course, should Trump regain office, just maybe he is going to start charging democrats with crimes. I don’t think so, but he might. It is a dangerous precipice. If we continue in this direction, we just might see the downfall of the greatest nation that ever was. More over, it might come suddenly. Those doomsday preppers just might want to re-check their supplies.

Our court systems are going to be filled with people being charged with being democrats or Republicans. The criminals will be ecstatic. No one will be paying any attention to them. Well, actually, the communists will be even more thrilled. They will just walk into to the mess and take over everything.

Second Thoughts

Posted in Abuse of Power, Deceit, FOC, gun control, Gun Safety, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation by

A few years ago, I posted a true story about a man who came in my house with a handgun. I called to my wife to call the police. Fortunately, the man ran off without firing a shot.

Since the occurrence, I have mauled it over in my mind a few times. Well, actually many times. At any rate, today, the idea came to mind that what I should have called out to my wife was, “Bring out the 12 gauge and make sure it’s loaded.” I told my wife the idea and she laughed. That means it is funny because, these days, she hardly ever laughs unless it is at me.

At any rate, I said all that to introduce my main thought. My guess is that most people who use a gun in the commission of a crime use it simply to scare the victim. Usually it works. In my case, I did throw the man a little bit of a curve. First, I told my wife to call the police and second, I soon had two sixty + pound dogs next to me. The police arrived in less than 3 minutes and they couldn’t find the guy. He pulled a disappearing act. He didn’t want to stick around and play twenty questions with the officers. Oh, and by the way, he was fortunate, I didn’t have a 12 gauge shotgun. At that range, they can do a lot of damage to a person.

So, (as with my previous post) I have come up with a really good idea on how to reduce the use of guns. Make sure that any time a person uses a gun in the commission of a crime, he gets 5 years tacked on in the federal pen, whether he means to us it or not, whether the gun is loaded or not, whether the gun is real or not…something that looks like one will do, even if it is carved out of soap and and doused with shoe polish. The extra five years will make a person think more about using the gun. Conceivably, it just might make the person think a second time about the robbery. On the other hand, he just might use a rubber knife. Those things can be scary too.

To be sure, there is another way to decrease gun violence. Decrease drug abuse. Oddly, it would seem they don’t want to do that. I mean, drug abuse is a non-violent crime. The druggy is not hurting anyone but himself, right. Well, that is until he runs out of drugs, until he runs out of money to buy drugs. Then guess what. He will resort to burglary, robbery, and even murder to get that ten spot you carry around with you. I suggest that close to half of all crime is drug related. I have talked to many in law enforcement that agree with me. It’s not just a number I pulled out of my hat.

Then again, I guess there is one more way to deal with that hoodlum with the gun. When he breaks into our house, we can use the 12 gauge on him. He won’t be causing anyone any problems. The hitch there is that when we use the 12 gauge on him, the district attorney just might come around asking questions. He might even decide to put you in prison. I mean, “Did you really need to use a shotgun on him.”, “You should have called the police.” I suspect he has two or three other suggestions.

The truth of the matter is, as long as the bad guys can use guns and get away with it, they will, regardless of the law. Bottom line, let’s just get the criminals off the street. That is the only sure way to stop gun crime.

Then again, that is not the goal of the dems. Their real goal is to disarm the populace. It is always the way the person who wants to rule the world thinks. In the old days they would not let the surfs have swords or such. That way, they don’t need to imprison the criminal element. They will have us all imprisoned. They will have us all under their control.

Using Single Passwords

Posted in Abuse of Power, Border wall, Bribes, Christian values, Credit Card Fraud, FOC by

If I have heard it once, I have heard it a thousand times, “Don’t use the same password for all your accounts.” Sound advice. Unfortunately, by law, we effectively must use one password issued by the Social Security Administration. That is right. I have a Social Security Number and so do most people. And, as the sound advice above suggests, if someone has my SSN, it is very easy for them to steal my identity.

Now let’s see. My hospital has the number. My bank has the number. Many of those who dealt with me when I was in the Marines conceivably have my number, as my SSN was also my service number. At one time, I was actually required to put my SSN on my mail, on the envelope, on the outside, for everyone to see. I’m surprised that no one stole a bunch of IDs when that first came about.

I don’t know how we solve the problem. I’m not sure the Feds want it solved. After all, it isn’t their problem. Besides, I think those in power like controlling everyone with one number from infancy till death. They likely find it far easier, same as us using one number for all our accounts. They use but one number to keep track of us all.

However, there is one possibility, maybe two. I heard a suggestion for passwords that just might work for SSNs; Use the same number as now, but with the addition of 3, maybe 4 letters. The letters would be easy to remember. Only the feds and the person would know these four letters. If a situation arises where someone is using a questionable number, the rightful person could simply identify himself with the letters. The imposter could go to jail.

The second would be similar but the different. The person with the number would suggest a phrase, maybe as many as 10 or 15 words. The words would be easy to remember, easier than the numbers in the previous idea. The phrase would be used similarly.

Actually, there is another way, simpler. Shoot anyone steeling someone else’s ID. I guarantee that would work.

Okay. I agree. That is extreme. Let’s not go that far. Nonetheless, we need to make sure these thieves pay the price. It needs to be divided into 3 groups. There are those who make the theft possible, for instance those producing false IDs, credit cards, or the like. There are those who use the counterfeit products and then there are those who use the products for their personal gain.

Each, when caught, should be punished severely. I would suggest 10 to 20 years. It is far worse than the theft of money. If people are caught and punished as such, the ID thievery would greatly decrease.

Is it going to happen? I doubt it. It seems those who have the power to manage such things aren’t interested. It doesn’t benefit the lawyers and, at this point, it has not gotten enough noise. As they say, the squeaky gear gets the oil. So, until something is done, may I suggest you be very careful with your SSN, well as much as you can.

Success

I have had no formal training as an evangelist. If I were fortunate enough to address an audience of a hundred and 3 of them made decisions to accept Jesus as their savior, I would consider it a success. If it were 5, I would be ecstatic.

I guess most preachers would hope for something greater than that; maybe 10 or 12. I mean, when the plan of salvation is presented, it is usually rejected. I really don’t have the foggiest idea why. It is really a good thing to accept Jesus as your savior. Yet, many reject him. I suspect, mostly the things of this world are more important to them than their eternal souls.

Well, some have better success than others. Billy Graham certainly had his success. He had a mostly simple straightforward way to present the plan of salvation and certainly God did his part. Paul, the one who wrote much of the New Testament presented the gospel to his thousands, and in a way, he is still helping to persuade people to accept the Lord today through the printed word.

A person might ask, who could possibly be more successful than that? Yet there is one, percentage-wise, who has us all beat. Moreover, he had a very simple sermon. “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” Simple and straightforward as it was, it apparently had 100% effectiveness. Everyone who heard the words repented and worshiped God.

Wow! I wish I could have that kind of success. However, there were two more things that made the conversion different. First, Jonah did just about all he could to keep it all from happening. He hated the people of Nineveh and he did not want to see them saved. In other words, perhaps the most successful preacher in history wanted to be an outright failure. Secondly, when the people repented God relented and did not destroy the city. Now that angered Jonah and he pitched a fit. (my interpretation)

In essence, it appeared God used Jonah’s rebellion for success. After all, it was very likely that the people of that great city knew of Jonah and what all he went through to keep from going to the city. When they saw Jonah arrive, when they all saw the sad expression on Jonah’s face, the people likely decided that God did really did mean it and that if they didn’t repent something bad was going to happen.

Now, that was success. Oddly, it was his determination to fail that made it succeed. It does make me wonder. What would have happened if Jonah would have done as he was told immediately. Maybe his success would have been 80% or 70%. I don’t know. It’s a guess and likely not a good one. Maybe, had Jonah done as he was told, no one would have listened and the city would have been destroyed, which was the very thing Jonah wanted.

At any rate, the people of that great city backslid and went back to their previous ways. Then, God did as he said he would. The city was destroyed so badly that some doubted the story of Jonah. No one could find the city. Then, one day they did. They not only found proof of its existence but also of its destruction. I have no idea if Jonah lived to see it or not. At any rate, those people did have their second chance and they ignored it.

I just wonder, how much is God going take from the US before he destroys this great country? At this point, I’m not sure we are not that much better than Nineveh. How long will God allow us to ignore his messengers and destroy the US?

Just as He destroyed that great city, He can also destroy this great nation. He needs no one’s permission and He need not send any warnings. We have the examples of the Bible. If we ignore them, then we will likely ignore any other warnings.

Certainly, one of those things that He will not overlook is the killing of babies. Children are very special to Him. Calling it family planning does not make it look one iota better to Him

It Has Been Suggested

Sorry. Don’t know the man’s name and I should. He is the third in the Republican running for President. Just is that I don’t know how to spell his name and I certainly can’t pronounce it. I guess this disqualifies me to ever become a reporter. Well, I will learn his name, both the spelling and the pronunciation.

Don’t get me wrong. I am still for Trump for president, but I heard the other guy say something I really like. He said that if he were elected president, he would send troops to the border. Now that is an idea I can live with. It should have been done a long time ago. The fact of the matter is that it should be treated as an invasion because an invasion is exactly what it is. They might not be using planes and tanks, but it is just as bad and maybe even more effective. We don’t shoot anyone because, well they aren’t really the enemy are they? They just want a job. Who can fault them for that?

Well, it is time to finish the wall and put some serious soldiers there. We need to arm them and give them authorization to shoot. Then we need to make it well known to one and all that we will no longer permit anyone to cross the border illegally.

No one would need to shoot anyone. The illegal migration would stop immediately.

Then the next step… the deportation. They should be rounded up and deported immediately. If they want to apply for asylum, fine. Let them do it from the south side of the border. It should have been done that way to begin with.

If we had done it right in the first place, there would be no need for the army to do the job. The problem is simple. The dems want more voters and the rinos want more labor. Then too, the criminals want the money they make off the smuggling, slaves, dope and prostitutes. It is why few people running for office will run for control of the border. It is why they like to come up with platitudes like, comprehensive immigration reform.

I Wonder: Ignorance or Stupidity. Maybe Bias

Posted in Drug Abuse, FOC, gun control, law enforcement, Liberals, News Anchors, News media, Religion, Truth by

This evening I heard a report over the local CBS station. The report was concerning an increase in shootings on the road, mostly interstates. Now, don’t get me wrong. Although it angers me when someone cuts in front of me, I never consider pulling out a gun and shooting at them. Moreover, I would never think of such a thing should someone use their horn on me. Frequently, I deserve it.

I just really don’t get the idea behind the woman’s statement, “….the shootings are increasing because of the easier availability of guns.”

Okay. I might not have gotten the quote perfect, but that is certainly the gist of it. I have news for the woman. Over the last hundred years or so, gun laws have been passed left and right, mostly by the left. If she actually went through the process of getting a permit to carry, or a gun, she would not have considered making such an inaccurate statement.

The fact is, about 20 or 25 years ago, if a person wanted a gun, he or she could just go buy one. Not so anymore. The process of legally carrying a weapon has become increasingly difficult since the day I was born in 1947.

To be sure, guns can be purchased illegally. However, you can pass laws all day long and you won’t stop that, try as you may. If people can’t buy them, they will build them. Same as in the bootlegging days. They couldn’t get the stuff legally so the made it. Today, there are people who can make guns in any well equipped machine shop. Perhaps there are people who do. I think they are called gunsmiths.

At any rate, the woman was flat wrong. It is no easier to get a weapon today than any time in the history of the country, though the left still likes spread the falsehood.

However, there is a real difference between yesteryear and now in morals. Back 40 years ago, people had real respect for life. They drove with more respect for the rules of the road and the other drivers. Finally, frankly, they drove more responsibly. If people wouldn’t drive so obnoxiously, horns would not be used so quickly. If people were just a little less anxious to blast their horn, there would be less shooting. However, most of all, LET’S LEARN TO HAVE MORE RESPECT ON THE ROAD, as well as off the road.

Generally, we don’t shoot someone we respect unless it is in self-defense. I just simply cannot imagine a gun being shot on the interstate in self-defense…more likely out of anger.

Oh, yes. By the way. If those criminals were in prison, instead of on the highways, the shootings would be in the decline. Only a criminals shoot at people without valid reason. Only people who are without conscience arbitrarily kill people. In this day and age, we have a bunch of folks running around without a conscience, it seems more every day. They kill without remorse. Our society has taught our citizens that life is just an accident. We are now reaping the effects of that concept.

Just thought of something else. How could I forget abuse of drugs. I wonder, just how many murders take place because of drugs? I don’t see any efforts by the dems to rid the would of them. On the contrary. The seem to encourage their shipments from China and across the border.

What is it, 70,000 killed by drugs last year. Far more than killed by guns. Far, far more than guns on highways.

Decisions, Decisions

Posted in Abuse of Power, Being woke, Bribes, Cancel Culture, Christian values, Climate Change, Communist Takover, Controllers, FOC, Uncategorized by

I saw something on TV, or was it something I heard on the radio. At the time, I didn’t think a lot about it but the more I think about it the more I realize both the wisdom and importance. The man said that when his children reached 12, he insisted on explaining something to them.

Up to this point, decisions generally have little if any effect on later life. Kids make decisions every day that will quickly be forgotten. Once a person reaches 12, decisions start taking on a more permanent nature.

That was as far as he went. He said no more about it over the air. More and more, I realize the truth in what he said. I wish someone had told me about it, though I was somewhat getting the idea on my own. Even so, as a young man, I did things and said things I wish I hadn’t. I wish I had told my kids, though mostly they turned out good in spite of my shortcomings. There is one thing I would suggest different than the above though. Nowadays, parents need to have the talk with their kids when they are 10, and again at 14, and then at 18.

It is a different world we are in today. What we do and say can follow us even from the preteen years well into adulthood. This is true about what is done and what is perceived to have been done. This is even more true for those that may go into public life. However, it would seem that nowadays, applications for employment have become far more probing.

Just think, if you plan on being a Supreme Court justice someday, that little thing you did at eleven just might make it to the news and you could lose that appointment. If you want to become president, that little fling with that prostitute could cost you the election. To make matters worse, It can cost you the election even if the fling never took place.

The dems are not above making huge money offers to people to give false witness just to destroy their appointment. So a person, when he makes decisions much consider, not only what he does, but he must also be able to defend himself should someone suggest he did do something he didn’t.

It’s not just the dems that like the idea. Satan just loves it when a famous upstanding preacher is accused of something horrible, especially when he’s not guilty. Indeed, he is quick to originate the thought of such false witness. Moreover, he is especially happy should a good pastor stumble. For them, all it takes is once.

And so it is, as we go through life, we must be very careful. When we make decisions, we need not only need to think about whether it good or bad, but also if it might look bad. In essence, we must go through life realizing that at any time, we might be attacked by Satan, himself, of any one of his thousands of willing minions who call themselves democrats, or in some cases, the church gossips.

As a point of fact, after years of the attacks waged on trump, before, during and after he held office, no one proved he did one thing wrong. However, they did manage to disparage him, based on his former life style. I guarantee, none of this would have come about had Trump went along to get along with the dems. It is how the dems maintain control, the threat of attack can have a big affect. In fact, Trump likely would still be in office, no charges of any type would have been made if he only made the bad decisions.

One more thing about decisions. If you do make the right ones, be ready to face those ready to attack you. Be ready to face the accusations. They will most certainly follow. The dems don’t like it when someone gets in the way of their plans. That’s also true of Satan.

It’s the Old Flim Flam

Posted in Abuse of Power, AOC, Being woke, FOC, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation by

You ever think you’ve won one of those battles with the libs and found out you lost? Well, it looks like it’s happened again. And we had our eyes wide open. I suspect most don’t even realize it. On the other hand, others don’t care.

If the libs had suggested that we move our policing to be more centralized, it would not have happened. It is one of the strong points of our nation. In theory, the feds don’t get involved in most of the law enforcement. Indeed, even murder is considered a state law. On the other hand, the libs would like to make it against a federal law just to own a gun.

Then one day, their armies started shouting, “De-fund the police!” Now that’s dumb and most of us saw right through that, or at least we thought so.

At any rate, it did not take long to realize that didn’t work out so well. Overnight, the streets were filled with crime and the local police simply couldn’t keep up. Hence, they asked for help from the state and feds.

After a few weeks, it was clear this idea of less police was a big failure. So, the libs, supposedly, admitted their mistake and suggested that congress help fund the local police.

Now wait a minute. That was the idea of the libs in the first place. To put more control of policing in the hands of the feds. If the feds provide the funding, then they control it, all of it. It is not just the part they fund that they control but all of it. I am sure there are strings that come with that federal money. There always is.

Hence, we just moved one step closer to a totally central police. In other words, we just been flim flamed. I don’t think I like that but it would seem I am now doing all I can, not much. The best thing we can do is return the federal money and pay for the police locally. I don’t think that will happen. We will become dependent on the law enforcement money just as we have become dependent on federal education funding.

At 72, there is one thing I’ve learned. Cities, counties and states rarely give back funding, even if it means giving up some freedom.

The Odds

Posted in Biden, Border wall, CDC, Christian values, Coronavirus, Fauci, FOC, Gambling, Immigration, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, Liberals, News media, Pelosi, Safety, Truth, Unions, World Health Organization (WHO) by

I’m not a big fan of math. It just is that when a person plans to go into a career as electronics, it is essential. I mean ohm’s law, the calculations of impedance and such all uses math. It even gets into calculus a little when dealing with vectors and such.

However, math is used in a wide range of other things. Certainly, it is used in physics and chemistry. When packing the aircraft during the Berlin air lift, they even came up with a new math, to make sure all aircraft were loaded to the max both weight and space.

One branch of math that is not talked about too much are the laws of probability. Some of this stuff can make an insane man normal. For instance, you toss a penny 100 times and the laws of probability tells us that it will likely land on tails and heads equally, or at least nearly equally. Of course, the more times you toss the penny, the more apt that the heads and tails will be equal.

Yet, those who specialize in studying odds tell us that, even should we end with tails 80 out of a hundred times, the chances of it coming up heads is still 50%. (either that or there’s something wrong with the penny)

Then there is a special branch of odds within math. These mathematicians try to know the odds are that you will live to a certain age. I’m not sure, but I think most of them work for the insurance company.

Just so you don’t get the wrong idea, I am not an expert in this field. However, I do have a broad idea about it all. For instance, the odds of me living past 72 are pretty small. Some die earlier. Some manage to beat the odds and live past a hundred.

Oddly, so far I have beat those odds. I spent one year in a war zone. I rode a motorcycle for over two years. Believe it or not, for a large part of my life, no one wore seat belts. The first couple of cars I owned didn’t even have them. Then, for quite a while after, we still didn’t wear them.

I don’t know how I made it through those years, but I did. On the other side of the coin, something could happen and I’d be gone tomorrow. When I was in the Marines, I saw a twenty year old marine die as he was walking along. The doc said he was dead before he hit the ground. Now, you talk about being against the odds. That shouldn’t have happened. I really wished it hadn’t

At any rate, things like that have a tendency to tip the mortality tables a little. On the other hand, something else that will tip the mortality tables is playing with guns. I saw that too. The guy was playing quick draw with a .38. For those unaware, it is a worse practice than going without seat belts.

I bought the new all electric car. All the mortality charts likely say I won’t live the seven years to pay the car off. If I do, I’ll be eighty and I might not be able to drive it. As a financially responsible, person, I need to make sure the car will be paid for should I die. I’m sort of in that boat now. On the other hand, maybe I ought to go back to work.

Actually, I would enjoy working three days a work. Unfortunately, I might not be able to. I don’t know if anyone will hire an old man to flip hamburgers or mop floors. It would be better if people would help me out by buying my books. (hint, hint)

This side of seventy, I’ve sort of been doing some thinking, as dangerous as that may sound. Those people who study the mortality really have their hands full. When a person is born, they calculate just what his chances are of reaching my age. Not only that, they try to determine the cause of death. Will it be disease, accident, murder, or maybe peanuts. No way of knowing but they still guess. Every year they release figures that tell you what what your chances are of dying of a shark attack. Then, of course we stop eating red meat or drinking things with artificial sweeteners. We stay of the ocean and we make sure to fasten the seat belts. Then of course, people start dying from obesity and lack of protein. We start going blind and losing limbs because of diabetes.

Fact is that we, none of us, can avoid death. We can avoid too much meat, we can avoid artificial sweeteners we can avoid smoking and smokers with extreme care. Moreover, some might wear helmets in their cars, or maybe not ride in cars at all. In order to avoid the cars we will use the safer plane, even if we just need to go ten miles.

Naturally, each form of death can be further broken down. For instance, illness takes in cancer, heart disease, neurological problems, and on and on. Then cancer can be broken down further into I have no idea how many. Two of my four brothers died of brain cancer. Every doctor I ever talked to has said that is very rare. I’ll just have to take their word for it as I don’t know. I did see them just before they died and I saw it was a horrible way to die.

Then, of course there are the overdoses of drugs. I just can’t figure that one out. Unlike cancer, it is totally preventable. I hear a few politicians say a few things here and there. The only one I saw that really did something was President Trump. Then of course, the dems did something about that. Now the problem is worse than before. I wonder what those people that study odds and mortality have to say about that. The government spent untold fortunes curing AIDS. Who is trying to solve the problem of drug abuse?

Then there are the murders. Most murders don’t have anything to do with guns. The dems are trying to get rid of the guns and they are letting the other murderers out on in the streets minutes after the murder. I don’t understand that. I wonder if those that study odds have something to say about it.

I’m still trying to figure out how the dems can cry out against the guns when they themselves are the authors of millions of deaths, in Ukraine, Afghanistan and Iraq. Then too, what about the disaster we call the pandemic. Could have been totally avoided if China was not financed by the dems and specifically Fauci. How many deaths were caused in this country by guns? Look it up. How many have died from the China virus. I suspect that far more were killed by Fauci and his dem friends than all the guns.

Tial by Jury

Posted in FOC, law enforcement, Lawyers and Representation, News Anchors, News media, Uncategorized by

In recent events justice has added a new tool, cameras caried by the police. Personally, for the sake of the officers, I wish that it had been added much sooner. Just a personal opinion. I suspect that it would have likely cleared many officers of false accusations, and more quickly. Perhaps that riot in Saint Luis would have never happened if the officer had a photo of the perp reaching for his gun. Maybe not. Some people just like to riot. Any reason will do. I suspect, too that it would have helped keep the officers on their best behavior, good for police and suspects.

The thing is that it has added a quirk to our justice system. People who are ignorant of our jury system simply don’t understand the reasoning behind not releasing the videos right away. There are some real ones, you know. It is to the advantage of all parties involved.

If the officers are to be prosecuted, they deserve a fair trial with an unbiased jury. If the officers are to be cleared, the authorities making that decision should be able to completely examine the evidence, physical, eyewitnesses as well as the videos. Finally, let’s face it. The video idea is not perfect. Sometimes they provide little or no proof whatsoever.

In any case, if the videos are released to the public, it might make it impossible to grant the officer(s) an impartial jury, being as they might have seen the videos on TV and heard comments by news anchors that will bias a large part of the public. Indeed, it might not be possible at all. It actually might permit the officers to get off on a technicality, though everyone knows they are guilty. At the very least, it will complicate the trial. It might disallow the very videos that might convict them.

Sometimes I wonder. I’m just a high school grad. I never had any law school. But I know these things. I don’t understand why most people are not aware of them. Worst of all, why is it that the media push to see the videos so very much knowing that it might poison the jury pool. Why do they permit some to speak from a podium knowing the complications they introduce.

I just guess they don’t like the idea of impartial juries. Maybe they will one day come to their senses when they are the ones who are relaying on the impartiality of twelve people who, just might have pre-judged them as the result of some news story or stories. Indeed, the innocent reporter might be convicted be a the partial jury.
