Sorry I missed whatever you wrote and then decided to delete. Maybe try responding again later?
No it is not. But in the long run it is another nail in a long board with many nails in it. Mrs. Soccer mom most likely has Mr. Soccer moms jewels in her purse.He will bend to her will. See it all the time. That is 2 solid anti's now. This escalates across the country. It fuels a movement that is aimed at "US" and is gaining momentum with every incident like this.
Crime.....
Pushing something in the wrong way....you bet.
In these troubled times doing as they did put those LEO at risk as far as they could see. This could have ended very badly. If it had that would have been a huge nail. Huge.
Your liberty's end when they push mine. In a Kevin Bakin (Sp) round robin way this is fuel towards pushing mine.
I see your point but it is extreme.
JMHO of course.
Not worth my time. You're not going to change your position and I simply don't care.
... I hope they're convicted, serve prison time and learn from their mistakes...
If you guys really want to argue about whether they committed a criminal act, shouldn't someone maybe pull up the statutes in question?Just because Kym Worthy's office filed a charge, doesn't mean that someone committed that crime. Remember, she made her name off getting two cops convicted for murder, both of which convictions were tossed. I don't know whether these guys behavior violated Michigan statutes or not, but if we are going to argue about it in any sort of meaningful way maybe we should look at those statutes?
My response is logical; commit crimes and expect to be held accountable. Yours is emotional; commit crimes and you should get away with it because you don't like the police and you agree with the "cause" of the criminals. Its very simple.
Your position does not have a logical defense and you've proven you're dug in and doubling down on it. Not my concern.
There are plenty in this thread advocating prison time and supporting the trumped up felony charges these guys now face, so I ask again, WHO DID THEY THREATEN? WHAT IS THEIR CRIME?
Feel free to critique their actions, even chastise them, but that should be the extent of it. Fueling a movement is not a crime.
They did nothing to violate or threaten your liberty. That their actions could be used as motivation for others who are willing to violate or threaten your liberty is not at all the same thing.
My point is not extreme, it rests on solid principles. I accept that it is unpopular - most do not break things down that far before blurting out how they feel.
Causing fear, getting a reaction, and making trouble are not crimes...
The prosecutor is overreaching.
For the record I am in no way advocating for false prosecution. If probably cause does not exist for criminal charges then they should walk free.
