does national guard get protected by qualified immunity? sounds like they chased and killed somebody because fireworks were going on
And unless I see unedited bodycam footage of it I am 100% not believing he turned to them with a gun.
Maybe turned around to see who was chasing them and then after they murdered him realized he had a gun in his pocket or something. If they didn't straight up just throw one on him to justify it.
Don't believe a fucking word they ever say unless you see the unedited footage.
As far as I’m aware, there are zero laws regarding LEO-style bodycams that cover NG personnel in general. I’m less sure about dedicated MP units/personnel, but I would imagine they don’t either, because a meaningful portion of the domain of MPs work involves situations that include classified documents.equipment/etc, and there’s no way they would record any of that on a bodycam. Not to mention, MPs and NG and the military in general operate largely outside of the civil justice system, and are subject to the UCMJ instead.
When they make them act like police officers and patrol the streets they should make it a requirement that they wear them but I bet that will never happen. It really should though.
NG should never be made to act like police officers. Riot defense is (arguably) ok, but imo normal NG troops should NEVER be involved in actual law enforcement operations.
Full fascism from the GOP and so many innocent people will be murdered if we don't arrest the trump regime and charge them ASAP.
I guess at least it’s not a baby this time
Why has the National Guard been deployed? What’s the state of emergency?
Tennessee, so... Woke-ism? (a.k.a. unrestrained brown people)
Let us go to the streets!!
