The Esteemed Harvard Prof is correct in his statement on the law -- there is no probable cause to pull Person A aside when he was standing next to Person B, who was doing the act.

But that isnt what the official said, and what the official said isnt the situation that The Esteemed Harvard Prof outlined.

At times, I think I am really the only person in the world that thinks that actual details and background matter. Kind of like noting the proximity of the pick-up spot to the 'leftie chaos central'.

But withholding a rush to judgement is now apparently deemed irresponsible or some other jabberwocky trait from some quarters.

And, it seems that the leftists here are apparently okey dokey with the shitstorm in Portland, and really dont think much should be done about it. The rush to attack *any* attempt at Federal exercise of law enforcement is really interesting. I mean, the videos I see of the actual arson, and violence, seems to be justified and acceptable to them. TDS is a very strange disease.

Torching a police building? No word from the lefties. Assaulting a Federal courthouse? No word from the lefties. Throwing M80s at federal law enforcement? Again, the silence is deafening. Throwing bricks, rocks, and bottles of frozen waters at Federal law enforcement en masse? Again, not a peep. 56 days straight of violence? Mums the word. Laser lighting Federal cops? (crickets).

But by god when a single night-black clad wannabe ninja warrior gets hauled off, watch the lefties erupt in a paroxysm of rage. Kind of an interesting dichotomy to note. Quite the neat fusion of standards.
