Gone
They want her seat to go to a brown person
mark my words
her district CA-25 is has a huge military installation and large swath of state forest/park
i thought maybe they'd be a little bit more conservative in their politics
They are normally
she flipped that red seat blue with her election
Was one of the very few red spots in Cali
orange county was big holdout too
but it has gone blue recently
aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
yes
did they just magically create some technicality on the spot to let this guy off the hook?
seems like it
Judges do it all the time.
of course
this is an exceptional example of that
@DarthSammich Well we can't just *inconvenience trans folx* with the punishments doled out for their crimes

Tough old fart
What are they gonna do, give him life in prison?
The greatest of the Greatest Generation
Cause St. Louis's biggest problem is cops telling other cops to not float around on fairy wings so much
they don't have 20 million to spare tbh
Who, the taxpayers?
yes
Thats a HUGE amount of money
The city wont be paying that
and if they do, services will HAVE to be slashed
That's an interesting dilemma, but I doubt the government gets to just shrug and say "nah we can't pay"
And at the same time they can't really just close up shop because they don't have the money to keep running things, either
oh, they CAN say that
I've seen it done
Apparently the custom is to have lawsuit insurance, but inability to pay can bankrupt PDs.

`Ron Serpas, New Orleans' former police chief and a consultant with PFM, agrees. He says training and active monitoring of new hires can make a big difference. "You see numerous times that poor decision in hiring or succession planning results in multimillion-dollar lawsuits in cities."`
heh
this is probably the REAL reason cops aren't doing their job anymore
