In correct. This was civil lawsuit against the arresting police officers. The person arrested for filming was the plaintiff and the arresting police officers were the defendants. The jury in a civil action does not return a verdict of "guilty," which is a term specific to criminal trials. Rather, the jury found the defendants "not liable" because the plaintiff failed to prove his case by a ponderance of the evidence..

Fix it for me. ;-D

Unusual, but by no means unprecedented. In legal jargon, it is called "judgment notwithstanding verdict." The standard for overturning a jury verdict is high. Under NY law the trail judge can overturn a jury verdict if, in this case, the plaintiff is entitled to judgment as a matter of law based upon the overwhelming weight of the evidence established at trial and no reasonable juror could have found in favor of the defendant given the evidence presented at trial.

“That is precisely what the first amendment does. The right to record police from public locations has been determined to be protected free speech.”

The 1st provides NO rights.

Your excerpt fails to provide true context.

You then state:
I completely disagree.

Equal in this case doesn't necessarily mean 50-50; it means to the extent warranted, consistent with the threat presented. If you think otherwise, please tell us which anti-MAGA you think we should ignore.

You then say:
Islam has been around 1400 years, and it could never come close to destroying the West or Christianity.

History clearly shows, particularly in recent years, that it has not stopped trying; until it does, you are entitled to that opinion.

In the interim, take a look at Europe and even the U.S. with its growing conclaves of essentially "Muslim only". See particularly, New York's current campaign for Mayor.

OH that program OK..i get it

we fund this mindrot thru PBS because we fund PBS and PBS is obviously run by leftist commies and nazis

Lenin (and it has been attributed to Stalin and others too) said, “The capitalists will sell us the rope we’ll use to hang them.”

but the commie/nazi/leftists in USA today are far more clever. they use our tax money to hang us (they don’t have to spend any of their own money on any hanging ropes, the use ours instead)

...and to petition the government for a redress of grievances...

But that can be pretty wide open I suppose.

Pence and his sycophants always talked about how scrupulously clean Pence was because he would never meet with women alone behind a closed office door.

Sure would make life easy for him if his new office door was made of steel bars :-)

“I first got bad ‘vibes’ from Pence as COVID was spreading. I thought he was initially put in charge of it, but seemed to do nothing.”

He WAS put in charge — of the whole shebang. He set the wheels in motion with Fauci, et al., stood back, and watched as the deep state destroyed Trump. He probably had Oval Office stationery already printed with his name replacing Trump’s.

How about revoking all student visas from Asia?

I hope Pence is indicted and convicted on espionage.

And as bad as he is, I hate his sanctimonious wife more.

For all of Pence’s flaws, I thought he was a perfect VP selection because he brought instant respectability to the ticket among evangelical Christians. I don’t think Trump would have won in 2016 without someone like that as his running mate.

“The evangullibles thought Pence was a great choice.”

THIS evangelical didn’t.

(And your cute little word .. seriously?)

perhaps ANKE and Preston are performing elder abuse when I am told I need glasses

This nuthouse gets funnier every day 😂

Trump had bad judgement in many hirings.

“I believe it has been ruled under 1A rights.”

The 1st grants no rights.

“The evangullibles thought Pence was a great choice”

What a perfect term! It’s like mormans voting for Romney or leftist loons voting for anything with a D behind the name.
It’s bigoted and anything but Christian.
