judges cannot raise taxes.
First hit in Google
You have no idea what you posted.
Judges can order taxes be increased. I gave you a link proving it. I’m done arguing with someone engaging in willful ignorance.
No kidding…
"As of the census[1] of 2000, there were 707 people, 274 households, and 206 families residing in the town" <---wikipedia
You didn’t prove anything but your ignorance of civics. I bet you can’t even name the three branches of government and their authorities since you think judges have the power to tax.
Listen, I know is hard for you to read but I gave you link to an article wherein a member of the judiciary ordered the legislative counsel to direct the executive to increace taxes. Is it an overreach? Yes as is every overreach since the rape of the general welfare clause and interstate Commerse provisions. Does it stand as law? Yes it does!!!
You don’t have to work so hard to be this ignorant. It seems to come naturally to you.
” one of the more asinine awards, right up
there with coffee.”
Why? This cop killed a man. He should be in prison. These PDs keep hiring thugs and bullied, then protect them. And the local governments do nothing. Though the money should come out of the police budget. Let a cop worry that a thug will destroy the pension funds or cause lay offs, and cops will finally control their bad apples.
“WHY? Why is the the community, and it sounds like a small one at that being punished so severely for what the cop did? This bullshit with taxpayers being responsible for runaway cops has got end.”
Yes, but there are serious issues with that. First, badge lovers need to quit giving unquestioning support to cops. That idiocy has encouraged events like this. We gave them insane personal protection against mistakes, making it very easy and safe for a cop to screw up.
Then you have to deal with the fact that those citizens DID elect incompetent leadership. Maybe more of these town need to start choosing chiefs and sheriffs that understand they are there to control the officers. They were not hired to be union stewards. But they act like their only job is to protect bad cops.
The government here is responsible for hiring this guy. They knew what he was, and probably had a string of complaints even under them, but did nothing.
And remember that the hot coffee was the woman’s own fault. This piglet’s victim is not responsible for what happened. That is entirely on the cop and his bosses.
Should the citizens be better protected from this? Yes. But that needs to start with making the LEOs more responsible for their actions. A lot of this was punitive damages. The idea is to make those responsible say “Ouch” and change things.
No, a hiring manager/personnel director was responsible for hiring this guy, not THE GOVERNMENT and secondly show me evidence they knew at the time he was hired and take your badge lover issues and stuff em.
“and take your badge lover issues and stuff em. “
Then stuff the complaints about the results of unquestioned loyalty to LEOs. You can’t have both sides of this. Not unless you just want to let cops do whatever they, and no one is held responsible.
There are only three possibilities here. Either the out of control officers are responsible, the government they answer to, or people just have to eat whatever they do.
Tell me, who do you want to be responsible? The cop? Then you have to rethink that unquestioned defense of all cops do. Or do you just want the victims to eat the loss?
“No, a hiring manager/personnel director was responsible for hiring this guy, not THE GOVERNMENT”
Wrong Wrong Wrong. He is acting in their name, under their authority. They are responsible, just as a business is responsible for the actions of their employees when acting on their behalf.
BTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! Go play with someone else, you have a problem.
