Ramming cop with shield, and he passed on a four year deal?

He must know we will all be better off with him on the wrong side of a wall.

Loser

Sounds like a legitimate mental health situation, behaving like that, on film, admitting it, and passing on a deal after assaulting an officer?

"Attrition?"

Fuck him. Let him enjoy the fun of federal prison.

My man needs to go away for a good spell.

Dumbass

Ha. This is what autocorrect gives you when you misspell contrition so poorly. My bad. Thanks for the call-out

What?

Sounds like a true loser.

Fuck him, and his apologists.

I wonder if he has a “Back the Blue” bumper sticker or yard sign.

> He turned down a plea deal last month that would have sent him to jail for about 4 years, but now he faces a potentially longer sentence following his conviction.

SO how is it only a "potentially longer" sentence after conviction? Surely he can't get less than the plea bargain.

He could be found innocent

It could be the same, too.

Those are just so helpful.

It's called trumpism.

Yeah, that's an accurate word for it, probably.

I'm guessing by the downvotes I'm not being hateful enough for this sub?

>Surely he can't get less than the plea bargain.

A plea bargain is between him and the prosecutors. It can be whatever good or bad deal the accused and the prosecutors come to.

But, we're at the part where the prosecutors are out of the picture, with their job done. The judge is not bound by arrangements the prosecutors tried to come to.

So, on a scale of 1 to 10, how awesome is reflexive contrarianism, from the inside?

No, not because you’re not being “hateful enough.” I’m guessing calling it a “mental health situation” sounds like you’re excusing his actions as not done with clear mind. Based on the article, he was well aware, and proud of, what his was doing.

Honestly, probably just a wording issue that’s getting the downvotes.

I forgot that no one in the history of the law has ever had a sentence overturned. It’s not reflexive contrarianism, it’s answered a question that was asked. However unlikely the outcome would be, that is how it would happen, ya cunt.

We can call him names, but this political action is working with a certain percentage of the people in the United States. People like this have a lot of support.

Please get out and vote against politicians that would bring authoritarian government to the US.

She it could be overturned but as of now he has been found guilty.

No, it's because most mentally ill people are not violent, and when you make statements like these, you are continuing to stigmatize people with mental illness, while excusing people with violent antisocial tendencies.

I'm not talking about most mentally ill people, only this particular individual.

There's no way we can call his behavior and decisions reasonable or rational, I think. Makes me wonder what made him think any of it was a good idea.

Violent and antisocial, by the way, are symptoms of some mental illnesses.

People can be irrational without being mentally ill. Again, you seem determined to make excuses for this person.

Really? "That's crazy" is making excuses?

Brings me back to "guess I'm not being hateful enough for you".

No, it's because you're being hateful towards people with legitimate, diagnosed mental illness.

Armchair psychiatry diagnoses only harm and stigmatize swaths of the population.
