“Your sense of criminal justice is bass-ackwards. In a free country, it’s innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.”
Nonsense. Where did I insist they were all guilty?
“The police took 170+ people into custody, set million dollar bonds on each, and have yet to show evidence that those they arrested committed a crime.”
More nonsense. The police showed enough evidence to satisfy judges that the arrests were legitimate, and they don’t have to show any more than that before the trials. Funny that nobody gets upset with those facts in all the other millions and millions of criminal cases in America, just this particular one.
“The record may yet show that of the nine dead, all were killed by police.”
Not very likely, since even the bikers themselves say that bikers started the killings.
“As a matter of public trust and accountability, the government in taking such extraordinary actions as it has in this matter has a responsibility to show enough evidence that a reasonable person could believe that the people in custody - each of the 170+ - actually committed crimes.”
They have the same responsibilities they do in every other criminal case, and so far, I’ve seen no evidence that they haven’t fulfilled them.
“It does not work the other way around where you assume everyone arrested committed a crime until and unless exonerated.”
I don’t assume that, however it is obvious SOME of them must have committed very heinous crimes that day, because the dead bodies they left behind testify to that. That also makes the position of many around here, who assume that NONE committed a crime, absolutely ludicrous.
Has a single murder charge been filed?
Not publicly yet.
