Imagine you are sitting at home on a peaceful Sunday when you hear buses pull up in front of your house and begin disgorging hundreds of angry people waving signs with threatening messages, shaking their fists and crowding onto your lawn. Soon, hundreds of screaming people are tromping on your flower beds, peering into your windows and scaring neighbors, who nervously begin placing calls to 911.
As the noise levels rise and demonstrators start banging on your front door, you begin to fear that something very bad is about to happen. Then, you spot the police cars and relief floods over you. “At least the cops will keep things under control,” you tell yourself. But your relief is shattered when you realize the cops you thought were there to protect you are actually from another jurisdiction and they are there because they escorted the mob to your address.

Ok where is the picture of Clint with his Garand?”GET OFF MY LAWN”! That would be me. Love my Garand..
Clever, no?
This is a terrifying scenario. I find it especially disturbing if it is true that local law enforcement arrived but did not act.
That’s what happens when the citizens are disarmed. The founders knew what they were doing when they wrote the 2nd Amendment.
This was in the SFE? WOW!
I suspect so, but it won't do much about the torts filed.
You are responsible for injuries that occur to persons on your property if a jury so decides.
You might note that demonstrators are seldom sprayed with just fire hoses in the US anymore, there IS a reason, torts.
Yep, they are nowhere near the wacko crap that used to be all SF media.
Be still my heart! How are they on volunteering for “sancutary” status for illegals, and rolling out the red carpet for panhandlers and bums?
It would seem to me that a policeman in uniform, out of jurisdiction, participating in this thuggery, would be civilly liable. Likewise, the city the policeman worked for should also be.
I agree completely with the criticism of both the union and Washington police. It is ironic that Greg Baer’s political contributions were all to Clinton and Oboma. I suppose the old saying “You should be careful what you ask for because you may get it” might apply to him.
If they were on my property, they would be shot...if they were on the sidewalk, I would water my lawn....
Yes and no.
The locals immediately required the demonstrators to keep moving as required, and as soon as the homeowner arrived and announced "trespassers leave", they required the thugs to leave.
However the thugs did NOT have the required local permit to assemble, so they could have been immediately arrested and required to leave, and were not.
This means the local police brass and politicians are corrupt, and the local cops were just keeping their own jobs safe.
Since they are outside their jurisdiction (in another state), are they considered cops, or just thugs with guns? If the latter, and they are illegally on your property while armed, or firing at you while you are defending yourself from a mob, may they be engaged like any other armed assailant?
The Chronicle is the MSM San Francisco newspaper, now. The Examiner got bought up by a religion-friendly philanthropist, Philip Anschultz who funded, “The Chronicles of Narnia” movies, and is now a national tabloid newspaper chain.
I love liberty more than security. And sitting in a jail cell as a political prisoner is better than walking the streets as one. If leftist scum attack the front of my house, I’ll fill one of my 2 gallon stainless extinguishers with liquid chlorine from the pool and let them have it... nothing held back. Well, yes, I’ve held back the lead. I don’t want to make martyrs, just ugly bastards with burned eyes.
You haven't been paying attention in class (or court).
Maybe someone who progressed beyond the LSAT could comment...
