Settlement? WTF?

It's the cost of defense of the lawsuit.  She apparently never entered the Capitol and was never criminally charged.

Thus, she had a colorable claim of retaliatory discharge for exercising 1A rights.

Is it your position that LEO have a constitutionally protected right to make unsupported allegations that do the exact opposite of uphilding and defending the Constitution?

I believe that is the case. Why would that be any different for cops?

 

 

 

With that said.

I assumed there was an oath of office required of LEO.

Are you under the impression that cops take the sane oath as the military or federal law enforcement?

Something similar, yes. My quick search does not find me wrong, either, though particular jurisdiction might have some bearing.

I didn't take a position.  But, it appears that yes, the first amendment protects lies and disinformation.  However, all she apparently did is post photos.  Whether her status as a LEO diminishes her 1A protections, legally, I do not know.

"Colorable" means, in lawdogtalk, facially plausible if not winning.  Thus, the department was going to have to defend the suit at a cost likely exceeding the amount of settlement.  Whether they would win or lose, not quite sure.

Also, insurance, as you likely know, will insure a claim for X amount, say $1M.  The amount they pay in attorneys fees defending reduces that payout.  So, when, as appears to be the case here, insurance is paying the claim and the defense, they have nearly 100% say in whether to settle and for how much.  Right and wrong tends to go out the window.

Good. Fuck that guy 

No.  More than just "fuck that guy."  I hope he dies a painful death, and right soon.  He is evil incarnate.  He is bitter and angry, and wants the rest of the world and humanity to suffer to make himself feel better.  I want him to live the remainder of his days in excruciating pain, physical and emotional, with no hope for relief, and no easy path to suicide.  Just a slow drip of decay, causing his death in months.

He probably misses the whistle guy.  Maybe they can pipe the whistle noises in 24/7.

Ashli Babbitt’s mother tried taking a memorial rock into Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day.

Today isn’t about domestic terrorists, it’s about those who gave their lives for our country.

I’m glad they turned her away, they probably would have tried dumping the rock off somewhere on the property.

It’s sad she lost her daughter, but it’s more sad that she can’t accept accountability on her daughter’s behalf.

Yep. I don’t put the sins of the daughter on the mom, but the mom is actively trying to make her a martyr for a horrible cause. The mom is now even more of a traitor than her daughter. 

The daughter was mentally ill.  She should have been stopped from going to DC  by multiple people. We had to come down hard on the Qanon nut in our family and clash with her dad and step mom to keep her from going.

I get what you're saying.  And it's all valid.  But first off---guys like you and I are inherently raised to stay outta other people's business.  Even loved ones, IRL.  And when we go get involved or offer help, it's because of a physical illness or addiction or some other glaring sickness that we just gotta get in there and give support.  I am never up in anybody's shit until the ask, but if it's cancer or addiction or pain killers, I will offer up my assistance.  I don't have technical counseling training or anything but I'm a good listener and great coordinator or logistics.  But there simply is no basis in any therapy or cognitive field that deals with, "Oh no honey, I know you're feeling different lately.  But please don't go storm the Capitol and attempt to overthrow the U.S. Government."  Her mom is being a grifting shitbag but I don't fault her in a way because this is such uncharted territory.  This isn't "Don't smoke PCP" or "I know you're having dark thoughts about taking your own life after the breakup."  It's literally a voicemail, of "Ashley, hey it's mom.  I saw you charged some expenses to my CC for Washington this week.  Uh, hope it's not what I think it is.  Love you, call me back."

If you have to explain a joke, generally it's not a very good joke.  I clearly have a singular wit.  

A lot of people don't know this, but Bannon was actually pretty well directly responsible for the expedition failure of Biosphere 2.  Imagine this, a Goldman Sachs bank hustler pals up with and leeches off an eccentric billionaire and bungles it all up due to his own ego.  I'm shocked I tell you, shocked.  It's just bizarre that someone involved with that whole fiasco at one point was a key advisor to a President.  

I could be wrong on this, because I am doing this strictly off memory, but the billionaire I believe was an Oklahoma guy, so there's that for you guys.

y'all, has anyone seen the "rock" she tried to bring in? it's very disingenuous to call that a rock. it's a fucking boulder
