Take the Poll: Should You Be Able to Claim Self Defense Against the Cops?

Vice News — The night Wallace shot 26-year-old officer Jason Raynor in the head following a brief scuffle, the officer wouldn’t answer why he was being stopped in the first place.

Wallace currently faces a possibility of the death penalty for the officer’s death. Experts told VICE News that anyone who claims they used self-defense after injuring or killing a member of law enforcement is going to need way more than a legion of defenders online to prove their actions were legally justified, even under the most perspicuous of circumstances.

According to Colorado defense attorney Kevin Cahill, “Because the police are given kind of a wide array of power to do their job, that’s a tough play. That line between saying, ‘Hey, I’m defending myself’ and ‘I’m resisting arrest’ is very gray.”

Do you think civilians should be able to claim self defense against the police?

Inmates Film Themselves Partying in Rikers Island Prison

Drop a comment & let me know what you think about this.

Allegedly inmates have taken over due to staffing shortages at Rikers Island, one of the most dangerous prisons in the US.

In the video below, inmates can be seen dancing with bottles of liquor & money allegedly filmed from smuggled cell phones.

RIKERS ISLAND PRISON

According to NY Post, the staffing shortages have also spawned significant increases in violent beatdowns & drug overdoses.

The head of the city’s jails acknowledged “serious problems” at Rikers Island, just hours after The Post exclusively revealed video clips of three inmates attacking another and a group of inmates partying inside a cell.

The level of disorder here is deeply, deeply troubling. I’m not going to deny that there are serious problems here.

I just returned from Rikers Island where a group of elected officials exercised our legal right to inspect correctional facilities. What I witnessed was a humanitarian crisis. A horror house of abuse and neglect. I'll share more soon but for now my message is simple: decarcerate.

New Anti-Slavery Resolution to the 13th Amendment Could End Forced Prison Labor

The 13th Amendment states that a person convicted of a crime can be forced to work involuntary as punishment.

Unfortunately, this loophole in the amendment has created a systemic pipeline in which mostly Blacks and brown groups are convicted and imprisoned for even petty crimes & made to perform prison labor which is essentially, re-enslavement.

The new law amendment, spearheaded by Missouri House representative William Lacy Clay, is heavily co-signed by Senator Bernie Sanders (VT) as well as MA & MD senators.
