9th circuit says Trump supporters hurt in San Jose riot can sue police

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled Friday that a lawsuit by supporters of Donald Trump against San Jose police officers who allegedly failed to protect them from an anti-Trump riot in June 2016 could proceed, defeating the city’s appeal.

The three-judge panel upheld the lower court’s decision that the officers were not entitled to qualified immunity from suit because they “violated clearly established rights” — assuming, for the moment, that the plaintiff’s factual claims against them were true.

Stunningly good decision from the 9th circuit. Stunningly amazing. If these leftists judges understand how badly the San Jose PD and the city acted that night, a jury will certainly award these folks millions. I hope they sue everyone into bankruptcy including the cops, the police chief, the mayor, the building owner of the building where the woman was being assaulted while beta males watched inside the doors and would not let her in until later and try to sue everyone individually and collectively. Get every cent, every piece of property they can and lets these thugs and duds live on the streets of San Francisco with the other homeless they have invited to live there. Have no mercy.

This is a surprise.

This is the second ruling in a week that made sense from the Ninth Circus.
Did someone put sanity pills in the water?

Hopefully every cop in the nation hears about this and takes it into account.

Maybe the Notorious 9th Circuit Court is trying to straighten up and fly right. Do that, or risk President Trump chopping the vast territory under 9th Circuit jurisdiction into more manageable (read; less liberally biased) smaller courts.
Who knows if this is a trend and how long it will last?

Makes me want to join Antifa. What if we contracted security out to the Proud Boys?

I bet the mayor had a stand down order . I’d have the police superintendent held liable because that’s where the directives originate. His orders are usually from the Mayor’s office. Sue the city too.

That’s how it works in Chicago.

[Dr. Pritchett]

Should also be able to sue the 9th Circus!!!!

[SaveFerris]

I was thinking the same thing.

[SaveFerris]

I think that as well. Should still be done lest they return to their usual ways.

[publius911]

You beat me to it!
I would add prosecute the police department, The City Council, the Mayor, the police chief and all deputy chiefs personally.

[publius911]

..and good luck to the city of San Jose getting any kind of liability insurance that the city can afford for the next 50 years.

Damned fake American Mexicans in that entire Police Department.

I guess they don't have an oath of office.

[Dapper 26]

EXACTLY!!!!

[GonzoII]

They got tired of having their a$$e$ kicked by SCOTUS.

[kelly4c]

Wait, what happened? How did I miss this?

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Nope! These decisions depend on who the 3 judges are and how professional/ethnical they are.

However, if the people attacked by Antifa etc win, then it will establish a national precedent for suing the Leftistt thugs and putting the leftist-directed police of California, NYC, Phila, and esp. PORTLAND, that they either do their jobs or get sued, fired, and unable to get another job in law enforcement (because they are insurance liability risks).

The same for the local and state governments where these attacks take place.

The good guys will have a powerful weapon to use against the violent Left including ANTIFA (who can be sued as an organization and their convicted members individually). Who knows what information the plaintiffs will demand from the attackers and their organizations/leaders.

I’m salivating at the opportunities out there to destroy these groups, esp. those funded by Soros, Steyer, etc.

[metmom]

Again?

Two in a row?

There was something else they just got right very recently that shocked us.

What’s going on in the world?

Is Jesus coming soon?

[zencycler]

Lawsuit is great ... but there’s another opportunity here to promote educating the public on the importance of gun rights.

The most persuasive argument the left has to many Americans wavering on this issue is that such a responsibility should be in the hands of professionals. Well this shows the public can’t always rely on professionals to protect them when they should, and why the individual right to bear arms is so important, so folks can protect themselves without relying on someone else.

So aside from the lawsuit, at the next Trump rally there should be a significant number of supporters who open carry their guns and remain outside to protect other supporters entering and leaving the stadium, letting everyone there and in the media know that it was San Jose that showed them it was necessary for them to exercise this NATURAL right that was acknowledged by - not created by - the 2nd Amendmenf.

[MCF]

That is exactly what is going on. Their afraid Congress will break up the 9th.

[GnuThere]

No kidding. I could not believe this headline. It’s like somebody took a cattle prod to them.
