					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Remember that the LAPD cops were acquitted by the criminal jury in the Rodney King case and the Clinton DOJ immediately brought civil rights charges. It also shifted the second trial to downtown LA to get blacks on the jury, which sent them all to prison&quot; - Mike K

Which proves that we &lt;em&gt;do&lt;/em&gt; have systemic racism in America, doesn&#039;t it?
Changing the polarity of the system is not an improvement.

There are still a few sane people in the world, though.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Dear President McCartney,

We, the undersigned, are writing as Black Americans to express our outrage at the treatment of the service workers of Smith College in light of the incident of alleged racial profiling that occurred in the summer of 2018.

Before investigating the facts, Smith College assumed that every one of the people who prepare its food and clean its facilities was guilty of the vile sin of racism and forced them to publicly “cleanse” themselves through a series of humiliating exercises in order to keep their jobs. &lt;b&gt;When an investigation of the precipitating incident revealed no evidence of bias,&lt;/b&gt; Smith College offered no public apology to the falsely accused and merely doubled down on the shaming of its most vulnerable employees.

Many of us participated in the Civil Rights Movement, fighting for equal treatment under the law, which included due process and the presumption of innocence. &lt;b&gt;We didn’t march so that Americans of any race could be presumed guilty and punished for false accusations while the elite institution that employed them cowered in fear of a social media mob. We certainly didn’t march so that privileged Blacks could abuse working class whites based on “lived experience.”&lt;/b&gt;
...
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

RTWT, and the list of signatories.
I don&#039;t agree with the inequitable capitalization of race signifiers (all or none IMO), but the letter is pure gold.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I spent years doing both expert witness and percipient witness testimony on medical matters.  At one time I considered writing a book with my trial lawyer son on how to use expert witnesses.  I have seen how crucial good lawyering is in both civil and criminal cases.  It is damned depressing to see how important the lawyer is.  Nelson seems to be doing a great job although he must be exhausted by the work. An amusing comparison is the movie &quot;Clueless&quot; and the team the father had working on his cases.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am reading Atty. Branca&#039;s summary of the Day 7 testimony at Legal Insurrection.  The defense is shredding prosecution witnesses.  Contra some comments above, it is not even clear that Chauvin (5&#039;9&quot;, 140 lbs.) used excessive force to restrain the drug-addled Floyd (6&#039;3&quot;, 230 lbs.).  At the very least there is ample reasonable doubt here.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In addition to what I previously posted, I believe Rufus is correct that the initial autopsy report stated there was no injury to larynx or trachea.
I think lawyer Nelson&#039;s defense will rely about 90% on that report, and grill the medical examiner(s).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;...built up this incident to the point that it precipitated mass rioting...&quot;

With, it must not be forgotten, the active encouragement of the Democratic Party, whose claim to fame (one of many) is their pervasive insistence that not only was there NO rioting and NO violence---i.e., that these were non-existent &quot;myths&quot; bandied about without a shred of evidence by Trump and his Deplorable supporters---but that any violence that MAY have occurred was actually perpetrated by the Right, who (pace the always reliable Michelle Obama) were preparing to foist even more violence and mayhem upon the American People in the run up to the November election, etc. etc.

(Hence the critical importance of January 6, 2021...and the absolute necessity of perpetuating it.)

To be fair, bolsheviks gotta do what bolsheviks gotta do....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Viva Frei &#038; Fred Barnes have been providing more balanced legal commentary as well, and Barnes has significant criminal defense experience.  You can find their installments in the Viva Frei channel on youtube or rumble. Nate the Lawyer&#039;s content is worth checking out as well. 

I suspect that one reason that major news media is so biased in their coverage, beyond sheer politics, is that they&#039;d also built up this incident to the point that it precipitated mass rioting and an authoritarian putsch through many institutions. They&#039;re certainly not going to expose the fact that the narrative they&#039;d established was largely false.]]></description>
