Good day all. With all the riots and assaults on police, I find it amazing that the only people killed have been two Antifa thugs, (in self defense as shown on videos), and one Trump supporter. (Executed by Antifa. Murderer killed by police) Now a Federal Judge has decided that police using nonlethal means to defend themselves must stop.
The judge in question, Laurie J. Michaelson, is, to no one’s surprise, another Obama judge. She issued a ruling on September 4th that Detroit police could not use tear gas, batons and rubber bullets. Here are the details from The Detroit News:
A federal judge late Friday granted a temporary restraining order requested Monday by the protest group Detroit Will Breathe, which bars Detroit police officers from using several tactics and equipment on “peaceful protesters” for 14 days.
Peaceful protesters my Aunt Jemima’s maple syrup. Peaceful protesters don’t attack the police with Molotov cocktails, rocks and explosives. Real Peaceful protesters protest and will follow police guidance to avoid getting run over by a truck.
Police Chief James Craig responded to the order by U.S. District Judge Laurie J. Michelson by saying his officers only have used force when protesters weren’t peaceful and that the ruling won’t change how the department handles demonstrations.
So the police are basically telling the judge to take a long walk off a short pier? Good! Now if the judge decided to be a real moonbat and tries to force the police to not use their usual items when attacked, then they should move up a notch. Sidearms, Shotguns and rifles. Then go to the federal courthouse and arrest the judge for felony murder.
Detroit Will Breathe filed a federal lawsuit alleging Detroit police used “unnecessary, unreasonable and excessive force” and violated members’ constitutional rights. City attorney Lawrence Garcia responded that he welcomed the suit, because he said it allowed the city to file a counter-suit. As part of the suit, Detroit Will Breathe also asked for a temporary restraining order barring Detroit officers from employing certain tactics. The judge on Friday granted the request in part.
The list of items is extensive and also shows the political nature of the ruling, typical of almost all Obama judges with little regard to reality.
Using striking weapons (including, but not limited to, batons and shields), chemical agents (including, but not limited to, tear gas and pepper spray), or rubber bullets against any individual peacefully engaging in protest or demonstrations who does not pose a physical threat to the safety of the public or police;
Hello stupid, the only reason the police would use this stuff in the first place is that the protests have mutated into full blown riots.
Deploying chemical agents or a sound cannon against persons peacefully engaging in protest or demonstrations without an audible warning and a reasonable amount of time to disperse;
How about the fact that when those warning are issued, the Antifa and BLM terrorists don’t disperse, they attack the police with intent to kill them?
Placing in a chokehold or ramming with a vehicle any individual attending a demonstration;
Chokeholds are NOT generally used much these days for the simple reason to much can go wrong, so this is probably a moot point.
Tightening the zip ties or handcuffs placed on any individual to the point that the restraints cause physical injury, including loss of circulation or change in color;
They shouldn’t do that anyway, and usually don’t. Frankly, when a cop intentionally does that, they’ve crossed the line. Now it is possible that during the heat of the moment they might over-tighten them, but that is what the follow up officers should be checking for.
Arresting any demonstrators en masse without probable cause.
Hello? If they are arresting them you Stuttering Clusterfuck of a Miserable Failure, then it means that they have BROKEN THE LAW!
Chief of Police James Craig said since the judge’s order bars action against “peaceful protesters,” his officers needn’t change what they’ve already been doing.
“The judge’s order is no different than what we’ve always done,” Craig said. “Every time we’ve had to use less-than-lethal force, it’s been to address violence by protesters, resisting arrest, or when they’ve tried to take over an intersection in violation of the law. Technically, nothing has changed.”
Now as to why this all came about, it was due to the Department of Justice’s very successful Operation Legend. This operation works with local police to get dangerous criminals off the streets and into a nice prison. If federal laws can be applied, they criminals get sent away for a very long time, which actually reduces the crime rate. It seems that the plaintiff objects to arresting violent criminals.
Detroit Will Breathe’s lawsuit focused in part on an Aug. 22 incident, when the group posted on Facebook that it planned to take over the intersection of Woodward and John R to protest Operation Legend, a local-federal task force that aims to curb violence. Some protesters have said they don’t want the federal agents who are part of the initiative in Detroit.
Apparently, the “Peaceful protest” wasn’t all that peaceful.
“When they try to take over an area like they did in Seattle, that’s not going to happen,” Craig said, referring to authorities in Seattle who allowed protesters to occupy several blocks for about two weeks until clearing the area in late June. There were two murders and a sexual assault in the zone.
And this is the type of “civilization” these moonbats, thugs and terrorists want in cities.
“If someone is resisting arrest, or trying to attack our officers, we will use the force that’s both reasonable and necessary to overcome the resistance,” he said. “We don’t want the protesters injured, and we don’t want officers injured, either.”
Which the problem. The order is, on it’s face, worthless. I see it as a stepping stone to force the police to back down and let the rioters burn Detroit to the ground.
Since the temporary restraining order is only in effect for 14 days, Detroit Will Breathe will seek a permanent injunction, Ghannam said. That said, this is an encouraging victory, as Judge Michelson has found that we have demonstrated a likelihood of success on our First and Fourth Amendment claims,” the attorney said. “We will continue to litigate these claims, and our clients will continue to speak, march, and organize against racism and police brutality.”
Meanwhile, chief Craig has ordered the protests videotaped.
“We’ve been doing that, long before this order,” he said. “We want to document everything. When we give orders to disperse when people are blocking an intersection, and they refuse repeated orders, we want all that documented when we make arrests.”
That and bodycams have been a godsend to honest police officers. Yes, a lot of them have balked at the cameras, but the good ones have no problem with them. In many cases, a police officer has been accused of something and the bodycam or the camera in the car showed the accuser was lying. I have little doubt that this “Will Breathe” group is going to get the injunction expanded to flat out disallow the use of nonlethal tools under any circumstances. Considering this is an Obama judge, I wouldn’t be at all surprised is she granted it and made it nationwide. (They seem to like doing that)
Perhaps someone should take this moonbat Obama judge aside and explain to her that if the police are prevented from using nonlethal tools, they might resort to live ammunition. Or you might have real vigilantes come in, (This IS Michigan after all), and they won’t be to concerned with the civil rights of rioters, looters and arsonists. They will just shoot them. What will the response of Judge Michaelson be then? Will she issue an injunction against a group that has shown they will shoot back? How would she enforce it? These Obama judges have proven to be a true threat to the safety and security of the United States, it’s citizens and those immigrants who lawfully reside here. We need to find a way to constitutionally remove them from the bench.
