There is no way this bill is anything but an affront to the memory of Floyd and all the other vitcims of police savagery.

I mean yeah, it's a bill to tell their families they need to accept and trust the cops that killed them

I thought it did though, only "man" was originally a neuter term for humans in general, then you had "wifeman" as the origin of "woman", while the since lost male version was "wehrman" ("fighting human", same root as Wehrmacht), but that's all vague memories from years ago so could be wrong.

You're obviously right about history though. I guess lots of people were confused by the Michael Jackson album

Yeah in my post I meant "man" as in the English word "man," when obviously the real etymology is more complex

Joe Biden is actually being extremely woke and intersectional when he calls everyone "maaaaan!"

It's kinda funny how Manchin is going to utterly destroy Biden's presidency (and the near term future of the democratic party) with Biden cheering him on.

I just started glancing through it, the first thing it does after the definition of terms is eliminate the federal death penalty for “deprivation of rights under color of law” resulting in a death.

the second thing it does eliminate qualified immunity so that’s good. unless it doesn’t actually do that

I doubt this is a blanket elimination, but QI is one of the main reasons police officers are rarely ever even brought to trial. So chipping away at that is good. Death Penalty is whatever, it's not like a police officer has ever had to worry about that.

imnal but

quote:

Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.
For the purpose of Section 242, acts under "color of law" include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within their lawful authority, but also acts done beyond the bounds of that official's lawful authority, if the acts are done while the official is purporting to or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. Persons acting under color of law within the meaning of this statute include police officers, prisons guards and other law enforcement officials, as well as judges, care providers in public health facilities, and others who are acting as public officials. It is not necessary that the crime be motivated by animus toward the race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin of the victim.

The offense is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term, or the death penalty, depending upon the circumstances of the crime, and the resulting injury, if any.

idk maybe let's repeal the death penalty for cops being bastards after we repeal it for literally everything else
