Wherever Mr. Wright may currently be lodging or burning, it should never be forgotten that he bears significant responsibility for a good cop making a very, very unfortunate mistake during a traffic stop involving questions.
Again we wonder about a jury and race: The jury members' decision vs. fear of what gangs of race-baiting criminals would do to a Minnesota community if the verdict did not accommodate "social justice" views.
No matter. The punishment intended to "send a message," which will likely not be much of a message at all, will be administered, life will go on, and the options for recruiting more law enforcement people will decrease further. Who wants to be a cop? Serve who? Serve what? Why bother? One way or another, the streets may take you down, and your darkest moments will be met with your superiors finishing off your life or career, all because a "victim," dead or alive, caused the crucial spark leading to the exceptional blunder.
Years of prison ahead? What will that do? Satisfy friends and relatives of one more player who was not exactly purity incarnate when everything went to hell? What would Daunte Wright have become if he wasn't dead, ask some? Search me, but it's possible he would have remained exactly who he was on that fateful day.
Tragedy abounds. Were this a cop-involved car accident with a resulting death, would it be no-fault?
We were somewhat inspired to learn that famed law school professor Alan Dershowitz also questions the trial and its outcome, apparently believing it could set a very bad precedent for the future of policing.
We'll be interested to learn Ms. Potter's punishment in February and will look forward to a possible appeal, when anything can happen.
Meanwhile, back in the land of risky vaccinations: To the rational eye, episodes of myocarditis among so many young people and athletes after receiving vaccinations should ring an international warning bell. But it won't, because governments and pharmaceutical corporations are so deep into self-misinformation and public lies that there's no turning back officially.
Once again, Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the vaccine delivery system, has come forth to warn that (1) children should NOT be vaccinated and (2) at least five years of testing are required to determine the safety of the vaccinations. Messing with spike proteins, genetics and the unknown could eventually be a recipe for mass disaster. Thing is, nobody knows the future.
Build Back Better blunder booted? But for Sen. Joe Manchin, this expensive monstrosity would already be Schumer and Pelosi's Christmas present. As the gift that keeps on giving (that is, its components would probably never expire and would continue adding to the deficit), the BBB deserved a quick demise. Unfortunately, some of its necrotic parts may live again as a Democrat do-over begins in the new year.
