But it wears its icy heart out for everyone to see.

 

"deceiving people is always more lucrative than enlightening them"

 

A core belief of most politicians.

 

We know of one in the news that needs to step down.

Nobody is going to punish security people that act reasonably (I didn't see roughing up, I saw control of a criminal that might be armed with a deadly weapon) in the current conditions.

Killing of Suspected Shoplifter by Walgreens Guard ‘Reasonable,’ DA Says

While releasing the video Monday, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced that an investigation of the incident had concluded the guard, 33-year-old Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony, would not face criminal prosecution in Brown's death.

The video, shared on social media by local television stations, shows Brown and the security guard in an altercation near the store entrance after he accuses Brown of trying to shoplift. Captured April 27, the footage ends with Brown, 24, retreating from the store in reverse, and the guard raising a weapon in his direction.

"The law does not require that somebody wait to exercise self-defense until there is a weapon coming towards them," Jenkins said. "What it evaluates is whether your fear in that moment of imminent harm is reasonable. At this point in time, the facts are that somebody has decided to become violent and aggressive with [Anthony] in order to retain stolen property, violent to the point that he’s having to use physical force to restrain him."

"We have the benefit of hindsight, right now we understand that Banko Brown did not have a knife, didn’t have a weapon, but at that moment in time it's about what the security guard perceived or believed and was that reasonable," Jenkins added. "And so based on the evidence and the law at this point, the law presumes [Anthony] was reasonable because there was an ongoing robbery at the time."

 

Fire Crews are real heroes.

I suspect US taxpayers will ultimately wind up paying off these loans. Just one more avenue with which to bleed the productive dry.
