The fact the LAPD is putting out press releases about the dog it shot and not bodycam videos is a great indicator that the bodycam vids do not match up with their alibi that the pet attacked the cop. Also: as @FilmThePoliceLA notes, the chief doesn’t put out things like this when his cops kill humans. Perhaps this will be a precedent for gunned down living creatures no matter their species.

"Today, the Court begins to correct course" regarding its unconscionable indifference to coercive plea bargaining and the wholesale transformation of our criminal justice system from one of public, adversarial adjudication into little more than a glorified rug bazaar.

Can’t believe I’m crashing out over Rooker-Feldman today. I skipped all of my fed. courts classes except the final exam. Now I’m litigating a 1983 case involving prior state court proceedings. Never know where life will take you.

The 3rd and final opinion is in T.M. v. Univ of Maryland Medical System, on whether the Rooker-Feldman doctrine applies when when the state court judgment is still subject to further review in state appellate proceedings. A 5-4 court says it does apply. supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf…

LAPD shot & killed Jameson, the dog wearing a Knicks jersey. LAPD has a $3.6 BILLION BUDGET to support/maintain 8,555 officers. It’s the MOST DIFFICULT department to hold accountable because City Hall lacks political will. This can change via CHARTER REFORM & the NOV ELECTION‼️

@OrinKerr I read your first example as suggesting the addiction is based on the content of the tweets, which does raise first amendment issues. Meta doesn’t make the content you see on instagram, the instagram account holder does, and Meta wasn’t sued for the content.

@OrinKerr No, but because this example gets into the content of your tweets/speech which has first amendment problems. The Meta trial was about the way information was presented, eg endless scrolling, not content on social media.

@OrinKerr My understanding is that the main theory of liability was plain old negligence. The memos just proved the defendants acted with something closer to recklessness or worse.

Speaking of drunk LAPD supervisors, we just got slammed with another $5.7M liability payment thanks to LAPD discriminating against another female commander. The discrimination? She didn't get her misconduct covered up like her male colleagues.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, and may your paths not cross with shitfaced LAPD supervisors behind the wheel.

A retired deputy suing Afroman for defamation testified he doesn’t know why the rapper nicknamed him “Officer Pound Cake,” so Afroman’s lawyer played the “Lemon Pound Cake” video. “You would admit that’s you with the glasses walking by the lemon pound cake on the counter?”
