Unfortunately, that seems to be true in highly politicized cases such as this one. Here, I would like to see a thorough judicial review, with document production and depositions, to find out exactly what happened. I have serious concerns that the protesters legitimate first amendment rights were trampled upon (literally) so that Trump could have a photo opportunity which had no legitimate connection to his presidential duties and which violated the curfew.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Mon Jun 08, 2020 6:24 am Are you saying the justice system is inherently biased depending on what judge is assigned the case? That does not speak very well for our system of justice IMO. You know your case is screwed before you even get to court. The other side is you know with the right judge... wink, wink your case is walking down easy street. What a great system of justice.
It seems abundantly clear to me that the crowd was moved solely to create space for his stroll to the church.
Anybody with a pea for a brain would know that it would’ve been a huge mistake to try to clear the crowd in order to erect the fence around the entirety of Lafayette Square during the daylight with thousands of protesters right there. Lots and lots of people, protesters and cops, would have gotten hurt.
I don’t agree with the decision to fence off the entire park, but if they were going to do so, it was the correct decision to do it in the middle of the night to avoid people getting hurt.
