Unprecedented: I agree with a California District Attorney

Posted by David Hardy · 2 March 2020 08:36 PM

Story here. Of course I live in a state where "get off my land" is accepted as an implicit threat of use of deadly force, whereas in California if you drew under these circumstances it'd be treated as a horrific offense. On the other hand, the DA may learn....

Still stupid in this case. If he'd shot a protester in L.A., he'd find himself being prosecuted. That guy needs some OC grenades to clear off his front porch.

I guess brandishing is not a crime in California if you are "connected".

If I'd done that when I lived in California (left 20 years ago) I'd be getting out of prison about now...

Does anyone know the status of the LA county DA? Is he considered an LEO? Obviously an "officer of the court".
Anyone want to guess about the "legal ramifications"?
I predict there will be none.

The L.A. County D.A. is a her. Jackie Lacey. The man in the video of the man brandishing a pistol is of her husband, who is retired.

Do you remember Christopher Dorner? The ex-LAPD officer who started shooting current LAPD officers? Do you remember how LAPD shot scores of rounds at 2 latinas delivering newspapers because the officers thought the latinas were Dorner? No charges were ever filed against those officers. Lacey was the D.A. at the time.

Following Lacey's decision not to prosecute the officers who fired on the latinas, Sen. Kamala Harris (who was then state A.G.) publicly announced that she saw no need for any reform or need for an independent office to review police use of force cases in California because the current system was working well.
